The 82-year old tycoonā€™s apartment is actually a combination of a triplex penthouse, which originally was on the market for $50 million, and the 57th-floor unit below, which was asking $16.5 million.

The penthouseĀ has five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and a spiral staircase with views of the World Trade Center site and the Hudson River.

The purchase comes just months after the divorce of Murdoch and his wife Wendy Deng Murdoch, who is retaining their Fifth Avenue penthouse as per the divorce deal.

One Madison, a 60-unit tower being developed by Related, is located at the southeast corner of Madison Square Park, with an entrance on 22nd Street.
