This makes Central Park Tower the tallest residential building in the world and the second-tallest building in the US, after One World Trade Center.

The penthouse there listed for a whopping $250 million in September.

It occupies the top three floors of the tower, floors 129-131, soaring 1,416 feet above the city. It's so tall that apparently you're able to see the curvature of the earth with the naked eye from its terrace.

The residence has seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and three powder rooms.
