Billionaire hedge fund manager Daniel Och has reportedly sold his New York City penthouse overlooking Central Park for $190 million, double what he paid for the property in 2019.
The property, located at 220 Central Park South, spans about 9,800 square feet and has a total of four bedrooms. The Wall Street Journal, the first to report the sale, notes that it is one of the most expensive sales ever completed in New York.

Och reportedly paid $93 million for the penthouse in 2019, which he planned to use as a pied-à-terre, and doled out another $2 million for a separate one-bedroom apartment in the same building on a lower floor, according to the Journal. As of the time of the purchase, Och has relocated to Florida for tax purposes.

It is unclear who purchased the property and if the smaller apartment was included in the sale. Mr. Och’s agent, Deborah Kern of the Corcoran Group, declined to comment on the properties.
The Och-Ziff Capital Management founder, who has a net worth of $4.1 billion, according to real-time tracking by Forbes, still owns a penthouse nearby at 15 Central Park West, which was listed for $57.5 million in 2019 and has since been taken off the market, the Journal reports.
