$100 million – that is how much it will cost you to live in what is being touted as the most expensive apartment in America. This most expensive luxury home is located in New York City, that popular hub of pricey real estate. The apartment in question is a wraparound triplex penthouse located on W. 56th Street at the very top of the landmark City Spire condo building. The three-storied apartment offers magnificent views of Midtown Manhattan and Central Park from its terraces; being located on the 73rd floor (that is where the entrance is) of a building certainly has its advantages. The home holds another distinction – that of being the highest terraced apartment in the Big Apple.

The home is large, and not just by New York standards; it is spread across 11,000 square feet and houses six bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Thus, large families and the occasional guests are hardly a problem if you happen to be living in this lovely property, Moreover, the terraces that offer 360-degree views of the city, take up 3,000 square feet of the total space. What that also means is that there is plenty of natural light streaming in to the home.
