The duplex spans nearly 4,300 square feet and has a 1,163-square-foot terrace with an outdoor kitchen, fireplace and hot tub. The home also has up to 11-foot ceilings and white oak flooring throughout.

The tech bigwig — who sold his mobile ad management platform MoPub to Twitter for $350 million in 2013 — bought a $14.7 million penthouse at 459 West Broadway from Leonard Stern in 2014. Payne is also the founder of Breakpoint Capital, which invests between $250,000 and $2 million in early-stage startups.
