Conan O'Brien attempts to sell his penthouse

In February 2010, Conan O'Brien made headlines as he attempted to sell his luxurious Central Park West penthouse in New York City, listing it for an impressive $35 million. O'Brien had acquired the property in 2007 for a mere $10 million, showcasing a significant appreciation in value over just a few years. This move came shortly after he had purchased a home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles for over $10.5 million, indicating a strategic shift in his living arrangements. Industry insiders speculated that O'Brien's decision to remain on the West Coast was influenced by his desire to facilitate a return to late-night television while also considering the well-being of his children, as he aimed to avoid putting them through another relocation. The sale of the penthouse not only reflects O'Brien's changing personal circumstances but also highlights the dynamic real estate market in New York City, where high-profile properties often attract significant attention.
