Multiple fireplaces, a vast library constructed from wood of a single walnut tree, servants quarters, 10,000 square feet indoors, multiple terraces... just an average home for Wall Street execs.
We've picked out 15 of the most expensive banker homes in Manhattan.
Adam Sender's $8.1 million penthouse at 15 Broad Street
The founder of Exile Capital Management bought the top floor at
Downtown by Philippe Stack in 2007 (the development includes the old JP Morgan building -- front -- and the 15 Broad Street tower -- back). The penthouse includes 6,300 square feet of living space plus three terraces. We expect Sender has filled it with his vast contemporary art collection and
lots of computer monitors.
Jamie Dimon's (est.) $10 million double apartment at 1185 Park Ave
The CEO of JP Morgan combined a $4.9 million apartment with another he already owned. We assuming his spread cost around $10 million in 2004 -- and more today. One unique feature is a sound-proofed area where Jamie listens to Frank Sinatra at full volume.

The secretive billionaire is also believed to have installed a lead-lined "safe room" on the fourth floor of his townhouse that's capable of protecting Kovner in the event of a dirty bomb or chemical weapons attack.

Steve Feinberg's $34.75 million Egyptian mansion (includes $15 million in renovations)
The notorious secretive founder of Cerberus Capital Management's said this at a shareholder meeting: “
We try to hide religiously. If anyone at Cerberus has his picture in the paper and a picture of his apartment, we will do more than fire that person. We will kill him. The jail sentence will be worth it.”
Well... Feinberg bought the former Egyptian mission to the U.N. in 2003 for $19.75 million. It includes a movie theater, sauna, and roof garden. He has attracted plenty of tabloid attention for blowing over $15 million on bungled renovations.
