Penthouse filled with furniture that once belonged to Gianni Versace goes on the market for $10 million
A New York City penthouse above Madison Square Park that comes with furniture from Gianni Versace’s personal collection has hit the market for $10 million.
The property comes with 3,500 square feet of interior space and features herringbone hardwood floors, a private elevator, and walls of windows that connect to a 364-square-foot terrace—the size of most apartments in the city.
Duplex unit in the trendy NoMad neighborhood offers stunning views of the New York Life Building’s golden roof, the Metropolitan Life clock tower, and the iconic Flatiron Building.
It is described as a ‘townhouse in the sky’ and is comprised of four bedrooms, three and a half baths and boasts ample living spaces.
And the sale includes furniture owned by the late Versace that the owner bought at Sotheby’s auction shortly after the fashion designer was assassinated in Miami in 1997.

Gianni Versace (pictured) was worth $500 million thanks to his luxury brand Versace and the contents of his Mediterranean-style mansion on Miami beach.
The Italian fashion designer was worth a half-billion-dollar fortune thanks to his luxury brand Versace and the contents of his Mediterranean-style mansion in Miami Beach that were auctioned off in 2001.
His distinctive furniture, artwork and decorative objects generated more than $2.7 million.
The owner of this New York penthouse, located on the top two floors, bought some of the rare furnishings for around $50,000, including opulent sofas, chairs, tables and rugs.
Versace furnishings are found largely in the unit’s nine rooms, though there is the option to purchase the property unfurnished if you want a more modern look.
They’re inspired by the fashion designer’s loud style and are decorated with cheetah prints, the Medusa logo and gold tones.
