Putin was to be given the $50m penthouse
As the tower was intended to be Europe’s tallest building, the views from the penthouse would have been unparalleled and the penthouse was to be the crowning glory. Valued at $50 million (£45m), BuzzFeed News also reported that Trump’s aide Michael Cohen had discussed offering the prize to Putin with his press secretary. In what would have been a canny marketing move designed to attract Russia’s very richest and most powerful residents, the idea was “to give a $50 million penthouse to Putin and charge $250 million more for the rest of the units,” Felix Sater told BuzzFeed News. “All the oligarchs would line up to live in the same building as Putin.”
