Brett Icahn was trying to sell the West 46th street Manhattan apartment that was the setting for the steamy 1980s classic with Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke, 9 1/2 weeks. Failing that, he is now asking for a $20, 00 in rent for the place, as reported by NyCurbed.com.
The two bedroom, two bathroom airy penthouse with glass ceilings and a fancy terrace was on the market for $3.5 million in 2005 before it was turned into Brett Icahn’s bachelor pad. The son of the famous hedge fund manager Carl wanted to sell it for $4.3 million, and when no buyers came forward, he had to lower his offer to $3.7 million, not much more than what he shelled out a decade earlier. Still no one bit, and now he wants to charge $20, o00 rent per month.
