Tech star is mystery buyer of most expensive home ever sold in New York


The most expensive home in New York City has been sold.

Michael Dell, who was ranked by Forbes as the tenth-richest person in the tech industry, paid a whopping $100 million for a duplex penthouse at One57, a 1,004-foot-tall luxury tower on Billionaire's Row.

The sale set a new record for a single residence in New York City. That's actually lower than the top asking price when the home was advertised. But at one point, the duplex was listed for $115 million.
