Tommy Hilfiger’s opulent Manhattan penthouse is back on the market and available to buy for a surprisingly low $50 million after the celebrated fashion designer cut £30 million from the original asking price.
Hilfiger, 66, has slashed the cost of his sprawling Plaza Hotel apartment as he endeavours to sell the property – four years after putting it on the market for $80 million.
With 5,600 square-feet of space and stunning views across New York’s Central Park, the duplex represents good value for anyone with pockets deep enough to afford its revised valuation.

Wealth: The designer also owns homes in Miami and a hideaway villa in Mustique, a private island in the Caribbean
The designer has reportedly spent £20,000 on renovations to the apartment since he originally purchased it for $25.5 million in 2008, and a series of new shots capture its stunning interiors in all their glory.
Hilfiger has combined the units into the 5,600 sq ft condo it is today, offering four bedrooms, four bathrooms and unobstructed views of Central Park and Fifth Avenue.
The first floor has views overlooking the famous street, known for having some of the most expensive shopping in the world, as well as Manhattan’s skyline.

But Hilfiger’s love for contemporary pop art also shines through the interior, which was decorated throughout with paintings by the likes of Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Richard Prince and graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Hilfiger said in the past he wanted to build ‘a home’ at the Plaza, but is now ready to say goodbye to the apartment for good as he and wife Dee Ocleppo spend most of their time at the family’s Greenwich, Connecticut estate.
They also have a home in Miami and a hideaway villa in Mustique, a private island in the Caribbean.
