Indlalifa ngo-1989. (INew York Magazine)
Ingxaki ngokufumana le nto uyifunayo kukuba ngamanye amaxesha, xa sele unayo, awusayifuni kwakhona. Umjongi uyifundile loo nto NjengoJOHNSON ijonge ukukhuphela iVanderbilt Mansion, indlu entle yaseGeorgia Isitalato i-16 East 69th ukuba wachitha Izigidi ezingama-48 zeedola ukuthenga kunqabile ngaphezulu konyaka ophelileyo .
Imithombo isixelele ukuba uNksk. Johnson ebethe cwaka ethenga indlu yedolophu ejikeleze, ngethemba lokuthengisa ngexabiso phakathi ku-50 yezigidi zeedola. Okungothusiyo-indlalifa ye-Johnson & Johnson ithamsanqa kunye nodade we-NY Jets Owner kunye Romney bundler UWoody Johnson unedumela lokuwela ngaphakathi, nangaphandle, lothando lwezindlu nomhlaba ogqithisileyo. Wathenga indlu yedolophu, ngaphandle broker, evela kumhlobo wakhe nakwindlalifa yakhe uSloan Lindemann Barnett kunye nomyeni kaNks. Barnett, umseki wobuhle.com. Yintoni i $ 48 yezigidi zedolophu phakathi kwabahlobo?
Ke yeyiphi into entsha ebambe iliso le-heiress? Imithombo eqhelene nalo mbandela isixelele ukuba uNkosazana Johnson wawa nzima Huguette Clark ’s Amagumbi akumgangatho wesibhozo e I-Avenue ye-907 yesihlanu , kodwa waphulukana ne-heiresses zobhedu ezifike kade zasasazeka kwinkosi yabucala yezemali Frederick Iseman . Igumbi elijonge eCentral Park kunye namagumbi ambalwa endlu encinci okwangoku zizivumelwano ze- $ 22.5 yezigidi. UMnu Iseman, i-CEO kunye nosihlalo we-CI Capital Partners, basalinde ukuvunywa kwebhodi. Kwaye uyazi ukuba zinokuhamba njani, ke ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo uNks. Johnson uneminwe.
Omnye umthengisi uvakalise ukungakholelwa ukuba uNkosk. Johnson wayefuna indlu ngo-907 wesihlanu-leyo umrhwebi wayirhwaphiliza yayingelohlobo lokwakha uhlobo lwe-A olwaluqhele ukwenziwa yindlalifa-kodwa sicinga ukuba uNkosk. Johnson waziva enobudlelwane noClark kunye naye kwilifa, nokuba usonhlalakahle uJohnson kunye noClark oqokelelweyo banokubonakala ngathi abananto ingafaniyo ngaphandle kwethamsanqa losapho. Ngokunokwenzeka, UNks Johnson wayejonge into entsha yokuthatha ixesha lakhe.
Ukuya kuthi ga kumagumbi akwaClark, amanqanaba abantu abalahliweyo akhula ngokubonakalayo ngemini-Nks. UJohnson ujoyina inkulumbuso yaseQatar USheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, Iibhiliyoni ezingama-31.5 zeedola kuzo zonke iiflethi ngoMeyi zichazwe yibhodi.
Ngaba uNksk. Johnson uzokwazi ukuthengisa indlu enkulu yaseVanderbilt kwaye enze imali encinci kwinkqubo? Indlu yendlu yaseStanford White ekwi-973 yeFifth Avenue- itruffle yobudala bendlu yedolophu- ithengise i-42 yeedola ngoJuni, kwaye ifuna ukulungiswa okukhulu. Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba uNks.Johnson atshayele ngoMeyi ophelileyo, ikhaya belihlala limarike kangangexesha elithile kwizigidi ezingama-48 zeedola. Kwaye ngelixa abathengisi bethetha ukuba ikhaya lango-1881 kunye nezinto zalo zangaphakathi ezenziwe nguPeter Marino zithandeka, bayaqaphela ukuba kubumnyama ngaphakathi kwaye isitena sangaphambi kwezitena singahle kunokuba ezinye zezindlu zedolophu zelitye lekalika.
Ngexesha lokuthengisa, ibekwe njengezona zinto zibiza kakhulu ukusukela oko kudodobala koqoqosho kunye nendlu yedolophu ebiza kakhulu ukusukela oko uJ. Christopher Flowers wabeka irekhodi elidlulileyo ngokuthenga kwakhe iHarkness Mansion ngezigidi ezingama-53 zeedola ngo-2006. Kunyaka ophelileyo, uLarry Gagosian uqokelele indawo ye- $ 36.5 yezigidi.
Kwaye ayisiyiyo kuphela indlu yedolophu uMama Johnson, okanye ubuncinci kusapho, azama ukuyithengisa. Indlu yedolophu yase West Village enemigangatho emihlanu Isitalato i-85 Perry, eye-Falconer LLC., Iscreen esisetyenziswa rhoqo kwiLibet nakwisalamane sayo esisondeleyo kuluhlu esidlangalaleni ukusukela ngoMeyi nge Stribling’s UPamela D'Arc . I-Falconer ngokucacileyo inomdla omkhulu wokulahla indlu yedolophu, ilahla i-13 yezigidi zeedola icele kwi-9.96 yezigidi nje ngo-Agasti.
Ngokuqinisekileyo olu luhlobo lweemeko apho abahlobo abazizityebi banokuthi bahlangule kwaye bathenge ubuncinci bempahla yezindlu ka-Ms Johnson?
