If you've ever wanted an extravagant pad with an Upper East Side zip code in which to ponder your feuding family's business empire, then Kendall Roy's triplex apartment could be the place for you.

You'll just need a Roy-sized bank balance to buy it. The penthouse at 180 East 88th Street, which featured as the home of Jeremy Strong's character in HBO's Emmy-winning hit show Succession, is on sale for US$29 million (NZ$47 million). (HBO, like CNN and Newshub, is a unit of Warner Bros. Discovery.)

The interior of the five-bedroom apartment covers 5508 square feet and includes two living rooms, four bathrooms, a private elevator and a spectacular, sculptural spiral staircase. The outdoor space runs to a hefty 3500 square feet, with stunning views of the New York skyline and Central Park.

The building also features eight floors of amenities, including a basketball court and a soccer pitch.

The three-story home was originally listed by Corcoran for US$33 million (NZ$53.4 million) in 2022, but dropped to its current price this year.

And for anyone with a bit more to spend, Roman Roy's equally opulent Upper West Side apartment is also on sale, for a cool US$38 million (NZ$61.5 million).
