Dell Technologies founder and chief executive Michael Dell paid more than $100 million for a Manhattan penthouse, the most expensive home ever sold in New York City, [according to *The Wall Street Journal.*](https://www.wsj.com/articles/michael-dell-paid-a-record-100-47-million-for-manhattans-one57-penthouse-1519304017)

The deal for the nearly 11,000-square-foot apartment in One57, a 1,000-foot tower just south of Central Park, closed in 2014, but the buyer's identity was unknown until this week. The $100.47 million sale may have set a record, but the residence only cost Dell about 0.4% of his fortune. [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/profile/michael-dell/) pegs the Austin-based CEO's net worth at over $23.3 billion.

Wondering what a record-setting New York City purchase entails? According to [BusinessInsider](http://www.businessinsider.com/inside-one57s-100-million-penthouse-2015-1), the six-bedroom, six bathroom penthouse, which is situated on the 89th and 90th floors, has two powder rooms, a steam room and 23-foot floor-to-ceiling windows. Additionally, One57's residents have access to a pool, theater, gym and library on an amenities floor.

If you want to be Dell's neighbor, you're in luck. According to the luxury condominium building's [website](https://one57.com/availability), there are at least 10 available residences in the building. Prices start at $3.75 million for a one bedroom, 1.5 bathroom layout measuring just over 1,000 square feet.
