The Odeon Tower penthouse in Monaco has never sold for a confirmed price, so the most expensive penthouse actually sold is still Ken Griffin’s New York home at 220 Central Park South, bought for about $238 million and reported in January 2019. The Monaco penthouse was first priced around 300 million euros in 2014 and was reportedly rented from late 2019 rather than sold.
This page covers both: the Odeon penthouse with its asking price and size, and the four biggest penthouse sales we could document. Asking prices and valuations are kept apart from sale prices.
| Rank | Penthouse | Price | Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 220 Central Park South, New York | About $238 million | January 2019 report | Sold |
| 2 | Penthouse D, One Hyde Park, London | 140 million pounds (about $237 million) | 2 May 2014 | Sold, unfurnished |
| 3 | Como Residences Penthouse, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai | Dh500 million | November 2023 | Sold off plan |
| 4 | Crown Building penthouse, Aman New York | $135 million | July 2024 | Sold unfinished |
| Not sold | Tour Odeon penthouse, Monaco | Asked about 300 million euros in 2014; agent valuation about 380 million euros in 2026 | April 2026 valuation | Reportedly rented |
The Odeon Tower penthouse in Monaco
Tour Odeon was completed in 2015. The penthouse takes about 3,300 square metres across five levels, roughly floors 45 to 49, with a rooftop infinity pool and curved slide, an indoor pool, a spa with sauna and hammam, a gym, a cinema and a nightclub-style space. It has five kitchens and five bedroom suites. Another report gives about 3,500 square metres of living space and 1,500 square metres of terrace.
The developer hoped to sell it for about 300 million euros in 2014, and an expert quoted at the time warned that such properties rarely sell at the announced price. A Monaco agent’s April 2026 article values it at about 380 million euros, about $412 million, and states it has not been sold outright. It was reportedly leased in late 2019 to an unnamed tenant, with an estimated rent of 300,000 to 400,000 euros a month. Another report mentioned a rumoured 600,000 euros a month that some professionals thought too high.
Reports say units in the tower sold for more than 90,000 euros a square metre, against a Monaco-wide average of about 57,000 euros in 2025.
How we valued it: asking price and an agent’s estimate; there is no recorded sale, so it is not ranked.
1. 220 Central Park South: about $238 million
Hedge fund founder Ken Griffin closed on this 79-story tower’s penthouse, about 24,000 square feet across four floors with Central Park views, for about $238 million. It was the most expensive US home sale on record. He bought it raw, so the design and build-out cost more. The previous US record was $147 million, paid in 2014 for an East Hampton estate.
How we valued it: reported sale price, from the January 2019 report of the closing.
2. Penthouse D at One Hyde Park: 140 million pounds
The developer Nick Candy confirmed the 2 May 2014 sale of this 16,000-square-foot London penthouse for 140 million pounds, about $237 million, unfurnished. It was a British record. The buyer was not named.
How we valued it: reported sale price in pounds with the dollar figure from the report.
3. Como Residences Penthouse: Dh500 million
Developer Nakheel sold this 21,949-square-foot, five-bedroom penthouse on Palm Jumeirah for Dh500 million, according to Dubai Land Department records cited in the report. Completion is set for Q3 2027, so the sale was off plan. It is the most expensive penthouse sold in Dubai.
How we valued it: reported sale price in dirhams.
4. Aman New York penthouse: $135 million
A five-story penthouse atop the Crown Building at 730 Fifth Avenue sold in July 2024 for $135 million, unfinished, so the buyer had to build it out. It was about 12,500 square feet, more than $10,000 a square foot. A $180 million contract in 2018 never closed.
How we valued it: reported sale price.
Records set in 2025 and 2026
We found no new record penthouse sale in 2025 or 2026. The latest Manhattan data points we found were smaller deals. The one 2026 data point on the Odeon is the agent’s valuation of about 380 million euros.
What drives these prices
- Unfinished or off plan. Three of the four sales closed before the home was finished, so the total spend ends up higher.
- Scale. The Odeon alone is 3,300 square metres, so the total is huge even at an ordinary per-metre price.
- Scarcity of the site. Monaco, Central Park and Hyde Park have almost no land left.
- Asking is not selling. The Odeon figure has been quoted for over a decade without a recorded sale.
