Louise Blouin, one of the richest women in the U.K, is selling her 4,551-square-foot West Village penthouse.

Blouin, also known as “the Red Queen” for her trademark red blazers and tough leadership style, bought the four-bedroom, four-bathroom apartment at 165 Charles Street for $20.6 million in 2005. The $35 million asking price comes down to more than $7,000 a square foot.
