Sofia Coppola – $13 million

She’s a movie director with deep pockets and a famous family. She also has one of the most expensive apartments in New York City. Her home on Morton Street sits along a tree-lined street with picture perfect sidewalks and views of a lovely neighborhood. What makes this home particularly appealing to anyone looking to live in the city is the fact that it comes equipped with a 2,000 square foot private garden, which is virtually unheard of in the city. Her home is worth more than $13 million, and she picked it up for just under $10 million.

Her town house is located in Turtle Bay. It has five bedrooms and more than 8,000 square feet of living space, which is just perfect for the two of them. It also has a ballroom, an elevator, and a fountain in the courtyard, which is not quite as great as the private garage, which almost no one in NYC has.

Alec Baldwin – $14.75 million

He’s a famous actor, so he should have a great apartment in the greatest city in the world. It’s actually two homes in one, but that doesn’t matter now that it has so much additional square footage. Their penthouse is a duplex that occupies the 12th and top floor of their building, which was built in the 1920s. Their new addition is on the 10th floor, which means that the apartment is quite large. They have several unbeatable amenities in their home as well, such as a playroom and a fitness center.

Tommy Hilfiger – $80 million

He has the most expensive home of any celebrity living in New York City.

It’s on the market for $80 million after the designer paid $50 million to purchase it and more than $20 million renovating the apartment.
