Michael Lewis, the London-based head of commodities research at Deutsche Bank, recently listed his condominium at 15 Central Park West (the most luxurious condo in NYC) for a hefty mark-up over the price he paid for the property in 2008. Lewis wants $30 million for the pad according to the listing. That’s nearly three times the $10.1 million he paid six years ago, records show. Recent sales in the building indicate that Lewis’ ask may not be as far-fetched as we think. NASCAR star Jeff Gordon sold his apartment at the exclusive building for $25 million last year, more than twice the $9.67 million he paid in 2007, and hedge funder Zachary Jared Schreiber sold his for $29 million after paying $11.19 million in 2008. Lewis’ 2,761-square-foot, 35th-floor home has three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, according to the listing, as well as a dining room and walk-in closet.
