Alternative rock singer Moby sold his penthouse at the El Dorado, the twin-towered cooperative apartment at 300 Central Park West near 90th Street, for $6.7 million.
Moby, whose real name is Richard Melville Hall, closed on the sale of the four-floor unit to T.M. Dempsey, on August 21, according to city records published today.
Moby had trouble selling the unit, which was originally listed in 2007. The coop board rejected a buyer in January who offered close to the asking price of $7.5 million, and it was returned to the market.
The singer bought the apartment in the south tower of the 28-story building, constructed in 1931, for $4.5 million in 2005.

Ahhh, finally. There are over 110 stairs in that house and Moby never lived there a day in his life. It was an investment by a celebrity trying to cash out on his name. Nothing wrong with that.

Moby is someone who should never appear in public with his head shaved. Talk about unfortunate lumpiness, he's got it in spades.
