Actor Daniel Radcliffe has purchased a $4.9 million condo
at a prestigious building in Manhattan, according to city deed records released today.
The 18-year-old star of the hugely successful Harry Potter films from Warner Bros. intends to live there at least partially, instead of renting it out as he has been doing with another apartment he bought in November, reported The New York Times in February, citing "several people briefed on the deal."
Radcliffe's new pad is a luxuriously appointed penthouse featuring curved windows facing the Hudson River, complete with marble and granite surfaces and a 500-bottle wine cellar. The Times cited public real estate listings as the source of such details. (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen own a unit in the same building, and pictures online might offer a glimpse into the kind of apartment Radcliffe purchased. Other photos of smaller units in the building are also available.)
The actor will be reprising his role in Equus for a Broadway production in New York later this year, following a successful run on London's West End last year.

It's kind of creepy that this information is given to the public. I wouldn't want anyone to know this about me.

Hmm, that' nice. Well, now when he wants to go to USA, he would have his own place to stay. Saves on hotel fares.

He bought a property in Melbourne when he did December Boys - it's a clever idea to invest in some real estate, especially when you can use it while you're living in the area! He's a smart kid!

Wow, wish I could afford a place like that. But yeah, I agree Stacki, it would be weird knowing millions of people knew where you live!

And good on him! Rather than blowing his money on drugs, outrageous cars and designer clothes, he is investing wisely in property. I think he needs somewhere that's just his own place, rather than renting when he's in NY.
You lucky, lucky Americans!

He's definitely "livin large". So much for the humble boy next door crappola we've been fed. He's rich and flaunting it. Would I do the same if I had his bucks, I don't know.
Good for him. Property is the best investment but this is not the stuff that the little guy or middle to upper class guy will ever be able to afford. You have to be mega rich which he is.
His star is shining brightly so young. Hope it does not burn out as quickly as it's been lit.

Cool...he must be preparing to be on Broadway with Equus faster than I thought. It is hard to believe he will be here performing the play and not some one else. Exciting news!

Wow.. 0_0 He IS going to love it there!
The pictures are amazing.
Daniel is probably buying it for a place to stay for his play, Equus.
Or... just a hang out spot because he really loves New York. Hahahaha.
You never know. =P

Well good for him. I'm glad Equus did so well and is coming over here to the US. I just hope our star crazy media doesn't drive him crazy.
