Prime Minister of Qatar buys $47million NYC townhouse in Manhattan

Prime Minister of Qatar buys $47million NYC townhouse after calling off $100million penthouse deal... because it only had two elevators (for his two wives and 15 children)

He may be one of the most recognisable faces in Qatar, but Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani certainly had issues with New York real estate - until now.

The sheikh has reportedly purchased an exclusive Manhattan townhouse after dishing out $47million.

Located at 22 E. 71st Street, the property was previously owned by real estate magnate Aby Rosen, the co-founder and president of RFR Holdings. The 21,000-square-foot mansion boasts five floors, a reception hall, and a jacuzzi, according to property listings.
