We haven't heard much from mysterious Malaysian party boy Taek Jho Low in a while, but just because the paparazzi hasn't snapped him pouring Cristal down Lindsay Lohan's throat lately doesn't mean he's been off his game—he was just saving up for his new $31 million penthouse in the Time Warner Center, bros!
Low's purchase marks the highest amount anyone has ever paid at the luxury condo, whose previous tenants include Jay-Z and Broadcast.com founder Todd Wagner. "Insiders" said that "a bevy of beautiful Asian women trailed by American men in suits" have been seen touring the condo recently. Low's previous properties included a $33 million penthouse at 1 Central Park West (Donald Trump's old pad, as it turns out) and a $100,000 per month rental at the Park Imperial.
Where exactly Low's fortune comes from remains unclear—officially he's an "adviser to some international corporations," whatever that means, or some speculate he might be an arms dealer or oil magnate. Should Low ever choose to leave Midtown, might we suggest this insane Chelsea townhouse with a built-in living room pool, on the market right now?
