Bruce Willis Goes to Contract on Trump Tower Home
Originally published in the New York Post
Action hero Bruce Willis has finally gotten some real action on his lofty apartment in Trump Tower.
After more than a year on the market, Willis has gone to contract to sell his 15-room duplex condo for close to its latest asking price of $14.5 million.
Willis bought what was originally two separate duplex units, measuring a total of 6,700 square feet, for a then whopping $10.5 million in 2000, after splitting up with Demi Moore.
Willis first put the ample residence on the market for a wishful $19.95 million.
In her settlement with the "Die Hard" star, Moore - the Versace-hawking girlfriend of "Punk'd" host Ashton Kutcher - got the former couple's triplex co-op apartment in the San Remo on Central Park West, which is worth maybe $25 million today.
Located directly below Donald Trump's triplex penthouse in the 68-story building at 721 Fifth Ave., Willis' gut-renovated sky-palace features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, unobstructed views in three directions, a dramatic 60-foot-long living room with soaring ceilings and a master bedroom of similar proportions.
Sources say the buyer, an heir to a wealthy Midwestern family who appears to be in his early- to mid-30s, inked the deal with the star on Friday.
There's no word on where the 50-year-old movie star is looking for his next Manhattan pied-a-terre.
"Both parties were eventually happy at the end of the very long negotiations," said selling broker Dolly Lenz of Prudential Douglas Elliman.
