The source of this couple's money, of course, is mysterious. Somehow a "translator and editor" who just threw down a few hundred thou on a $1.5 million building has the funds to BUY a Steinway grand piano. Even an old Steinway grand typically costs $50,000.
Plus, it sounds like there's a communication problem with this couple, as the dude had no idea the piano guys were coming over. |
NYC is so full of trustfund babies it's preposterous. I know so many people in NY who's parents still contribute to their rent in their 30s it's not even funny. Then they miraculously buy a $2MM apartment and you find out daddy is a billionaire.
I'm not particularly in the "scene" in NY but I know and/or are acquanited with the children and/or grandchildren of at least 4 billionaires. None of them wear it on their sleeves or readily talk about it but it becomes obvious when one day your friend who works in PR is buying a $7MM apartment on Leonard Street. Or another who is a fledging interior designer moves into a $6k month apartment.
It's rampant.
