Meet the 22-Year-Old Who Owns a $88 Million Crash Pad in NY

Ekaterina Rybolovleva, daughter of a Russian billionaire, made headlines with her new home in the Big Apple.


You may have heard that a Russian billionaire, Dmitry Rybolovleva, who made his fortune in fertilizer, bought his daughter a New York City apartment for $88 million. So who is this lucky duck? From what we can find out, the mysterious Ekaterina Rybolovleva is 22 years old, and doesn’t even live in the Big Apple.

The Russian heiress does, however, live in the U.S. where she studies at an “undisclosed U.S. university” --  the New York Post says Harvard -- but nothing’s confirmed.

The blonde beauty, now the proud owner of New York’s priciest crash pad, has stayed out of the spotlight. A serious equestrian (who could probably stash a horse or two in the 6,437 square foot penthouse with 10 rooms and a wrap-around terrace) she competes at  trials across Europe. Although the horsewoman was born in Russia, she has spent the last 15 years mainly in Switzerland and Monaco.
 
And, in the rare instance she does hole up in her tony 15 Central Park West address, she can always borrow a cup of sugar from one of her neighbors in the post building, like Sting, Denzel Washington and head of Goldman Sachs Lloyd Blankfein.
