Silly Saturday Trivia: Rudy Giuliani's Manhattan Penthouse Listed For Sale -- At Almost "30% Off!", This Time...


Well, as proof that the capable and long-suffering Georgia state election workers are getting a very substantial settlement, and that someone is providing some form of "bridge" financing (until Rudy closes the sale of that penthouse overlooking Central Park, on 66th), the Co-Op space is on sale, at a "hurried liquidation" price -- nearly 30% off of what it last listed for, in 2023.

Recall that the former Hizzoner still faces a felony election fraud trial in Arizona in January 2026 (which may yet lead to multiple years of jail time), and he has LOTS of other judgment creditors chasing him, after his bankruptcy case was dismissed (without a discharge from debts) about 18 months ago, for suspicions about abuse of that process.

In sum, he is very, very far from out of the woods here, as he approaches his 81st birthday, come May. Here's the Guardian (UK) on the latest -- and, it has me. . . grinning. I admit it:

. . .Rudy Giuliani has relisted his Upper East Side penthouse with a $1.4 million price cut after settling his legal battle with two Georgia election workers. In October, a judge ordered the former New York City mayor to turn over his possessions, including his apartment at 45 East 66th Street, as part of a $148 million defamation lawsuit he lost in 2023.

Last month, a settlement was reached allowing Giuliani to keep his apartment and other belongings in exchange for an unspecified compensation for the two election workers.

Now the disbarred lawyer and former Trump advisor is trying again to offload the three-bedroom home for $5.175 million; he first listed the property for $6.5 million in 2023. . . .


Yep -- it couldn't happen to a nicer guy, and whoever fronted the money to settle the libel and defamation suits. . . is probably pressing to get at least some of his/her/their money back out -- before all of Rudy's remaining assets fall to the hands of other judgment creditors around the nation -- especially in Arizona next year after the election fraud felonies trial. Yikes.
