It's hard enough to pay rent in the city that never sleeps, but we're sure that anyone who can afford this rental, the most expensive in Manhattan, is not too concerned. Housed inside the Plaza Hotel, the refurbished Astor Suite rings in at a monthly rent of $165,000. Despite the alarming price tag, according to the broker Melanie Lazenby, it didn't take very long for realtors to receive calls once this baby hit the market. The soon-to-be home of a member of the 1% includes Oxford bookcases, flatscreen TVs hidden by vintage art, and a feel-free-to-control-everything-in-your-apartment iPad. Take a peek inside the most expensive apartment in NYC in the link below. And then read this. (DNA Info)
