Janet Yellen Money Printing at Work: NYC One Bedroom Rental $300,000 per Month



The city’s most expensive one-bedroom rental is $300,000 a month — or $3.6 million a year — at The Surrey, at 20 E. 76th St.

The penthouse unit is only 1,200 square feet with 1½ bathrooms and comes with artwork by Ann Hamilton, Jonathan Borofsky, Nathalia Edenmont and Mel Bochner, reports NyPo.

According to the Surrey web site:
Exceptional moments at The Surrey extend well beyond your accommodations. Whether you prefer entertaining in the private roof garden, indulging in a relaxing massage at Cornelia Spa or dining at your favorite table at Cafe Boulud, personality and personal preferences inform our service from the moment you make your reservation.
Built in 1926, as a residence hotel, the original Surrey was home to many of New York's most eccentric celebrities over the years. JFK, Bette Davis, Claudette Colbert. Famous faces who recognized the allure of exceptional, discreet service.

  1. Somebody has to do a comprehensive report (or steer me to one that's been done) of who's been getting all the bucks over the last decade or so.
    When I lived in California I was (I thought) a successful engineer / entrepreneur. So, while I was driving my Ford to the office, I would look at all the Beemers, Porches, Mercedes, Maserati's, and wonder "Just what the HELL do these people do that makes them so rich?"
    And I'm not talking about just a few of these. I'd say 1/2 of the cars on that road were > $65,000 each.
