House of Outrageous Fortune: Fifteen Central Park West, the World's Most Powerful Address

â€œMichael Grossâ€™s new bookâ€¦packs [in] almost as many stories as there are apartments in the building. The Jackie Collins of real estate likes to map expressions of power, money and egoâ€¦ Even more crammed with billionaires and their exploits than 740 Parkâ€ (Penelope Green, The New York Times).

With two concierge-staffed lobbies, a walnut-lined library, a lavish screening room, a private sixty-seat restaurant offering residents room service, a health club complete with a seventy-foot swimming pool, penthouses that cost almost $100 million, and a tenant roster thatâ€™s a roll call of business page heroes and villains, Fifteen Central Park West is the most outrageously successful, insanely expensive, titanically tycoon-stuffed real estate development of the twenty-first century.

In this â€œstunningâ€ (CNN) and â€œdeliciously detailedâ€ (Booklist, starred review) New York Times bestseller, journalist Michael Gross turns his gimlet eye on the new-money wonderland thatâ€™s sprung up on the southwest rim of Central Park. Mixing an absorbing business epic with hilarious social comedy, Gross â€œtakes another gossip-laden bite out of the upper crustâ€ (Sam Roberts, The New York Times), which includes Denzel Washington, Sting, Norman Lear, top executives, and Russian and Chinese oligarchs, to name a few. And he recounts the legendary buildingâ€™s inspired genesis, costly construction, and the flashy international lifestyle it has brought to a once benighted and socially dÃ©classÃ© Manhattan neighborhood.

More than just an apartment building, 15CPW represents a massive paradigm shift in the lifestyle of New Yorkâ€™s rich and famousâ€”and is a bellwether of the cityâ€™s changing social and financial landscape.
