How much are you willing to pay for an apartment? Is it $77.5 million?

No? Well, then you're not Ukrainian billionaire Leonard Blavatnik.

Blavatnik purchased Jets owner Woody Johnson's Fifth Avenue apartment for that price, according to the New York Daily News. It is reportedly the largest price ever paid for a New York City apartment.

Even more interesting is that Johnson purchased the apartment about two years ago and never even lived in it. He put it on the market last year for $75 million and ended up getting more than his asking price.

According to the real estate website CityRealty, the apartment has five bedrooms, three maids’ rooms, and "an open layout perfect for entertaining."

In keeping with the tradition of the former owner, the website also states Blavatnik may not live in the apartment.
