yron Allen, the billionaire media mogul behind Entertainment Studios, has made a killing on his Manhattan apartment at 220 Central Park South. He's sold the sprawling five-bedroom, seven-bathroom unit for $82.5 million, marking the biggest sale in the city so far this year.

    Allen originally bought the property for $75 million in 2023, making him a tidy profit of $7.5 million. According to real estate expert Jonathan Miller, this deal is the most expensive in the city in 2025. However, it falls short of the record set by Ken Griffin in 2019, who paid around $238 million for a unit inside the same building.

    The 45th-floor apartment boasts an impressive layout, with two bedrooms and bathrooms in the primary suite, as well as a wine room, private library, and two balconies. The new owner is Huizenga Holdings, a family-run investment firm founded by the late H. Wayne Huizenga.

    This deal adds to the list of high-profile purchases at 220 Central Park South, which is home to some of the world's wealthiest individuals, including Alibaba co-founder Joseph Tsai. Huizenga Holdings has been making headlines recently for its plans to build 100 homes on a 10-block stretch in West Palm Beach, in partnership with GL Homes.
