New Jersey-born rocker Jon Bon Jovi is quietly seeking a buyer for his Soho duplex apartment at 158 Mercer Street, the same building where Mark Madoff, son of Bernie Madoff, committed suicide last year, the New York Post reported, and he’s not aiming low. The music star is reportedly asking a massive $45 million for the six-bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom pad.
Bon Jovi purchased the 7,400-square-foot home for $24 million in 2007, but it has reportedly undergone a massive renovation since. If the unit gets the $45 million he is currently asking, it would be a record for downtown, and well above the penthouse at Superior Ink, which sold for $31.5 million last year. [Post]
