An 18-room duplex in NYC's billionaire-filled 740 Park was reportedly just sold by the government of France for $70M, which is a whopping $22M over the initial ask. The victor of the apartment's fierce bidding war—which, if the deal hits public record, would tie the record for the city's most expensive co-op sale—is hedge funder Israel "Izzy" Englander, who already lives in the building, but wants a "pied-a-terre" for when his children and grandkids come to town.
