Qatar's prime minister is buying the most expensive apartment in New York

New York - The Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabir Al Thani is purchasing the most expensive apartment in New York. For nearly 100 million dollars (two billion crowns), he intends to acquire a duplex on the top floor of the still unfinished skyscraper One57 near Carnegie Hall, the New York Post reported today.
     The luxurious apartment covers an area of over 1,000 square meters. It has a large room for receiving guests and five bedrooms. It is equipped with four fireplaces and floor-to-ceiling windows.
     Additionally, Al Thani is negotiating with developers about the possible purchase of four more apartments on the 90th floor of the building. If he agrees to their purchase, he would pay a total of 250 million dollars for all properties.
     According to sources from the New York Post, the Qatari Prime Minister decided to buy the luxurious apartment at the top of One57 after he failed to acquire two apartments from the recently deceased eccentric millionaire Huguette Clark. Her heirs rejected Al Thani's offer of 31.5 million dollars for both apartments.
     The One57 skyscraper is expected to be completed next year, with a total height of 306 meters. According to developers, as of May of this year, half of all 135 apartments in the building have already been sold.
