Daniel Radcliffe buys $5 million condo in Manhattan

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.

Haha, wow, way to go Daniel! I doubt he'd live there full-time, though. It's probably mainly for the time he's in Equus.

If anyone can afford an apartment that costs that much, he can.
He'll probably need it for when he's doing the Equis play here in New York. The he'll have some place to stay whenever he decides to take a trip across the pond.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

Nice addition and a good investment for him. Also makes sense, if he intends to keep doing work on Broadway. Nice middle ground if he wants to do other work in the US.

Holy CRAP, that's expensive... must be nice to be able to afford something like that. It sounds quite fancy, too. I hope he enjoys it! :)

Oh, those condos are gorgeous. I would love to live in a condo in the future - even if they aren't as luxurious as those ones!

Sounds like a sweet place to live in! I guess when you have that much money, why not buy a multi-million condo.
I almost forgot he would be performing in Equus on Broadway.

Wow, that's crazy. He's definitely growing up, living in a condo! He doesn't need all that wine though.

Those are great investments for the future --not just his perfoming in EQUUS [and hopefullly other projects] but also personal investments--there is only so much real estate and selling in the future would profit for him.He has some very good advisors--thank goodness!! And I am very happy for his purchases. I hope he loves NYC.

It would be so hard not to get a fat head at being able to do such a thing at such an impressionable age. Hopefully he will be able to remain level-headed. Gosh, I'm 35 and I just can't imagine being able to afford such a purchase...or wanting to waste that much if I had the funds.

These purchases of apartments are NOT a waste but a
monitary investment--for the future.Investing monies in something the will up in value innthe future is very wise.I wish people would get that.

I, too, am excited to see Dan investing in this way. This type of home will only increase in value -- he does seem to have great financial advisors. I am also excited for Dan to be spending some time in NYC since it has so much to offer. It's an excellent opportunity for him.
