The Appraisal – Gordon Gekko’s New Protege Slept Here (txt)
Interesting article about how a wealthy financier's Manhattan duplex came to be used for a set in Oliver Stone's Wall Street sequel. The enigmatic owner is actually looking to sell the place at a tenfold return over the 7 years he's owned it. "The owner, not surprisingly, works in finance. He declined to comment, saying the bank he works for would not allow it; because of populist anger over Wall Street bailouts, financial institutions have been asking their high earners to keep as low a profile as possible. He did not even want to be named."
