What does $38 million buy you in New York City? In this case, it buys a penthouse so striking that HBO’s Succession chose it as the home of Roman Roy. The Upper West Side residence at 200 Amsterdam is more than an apartment — it is a private experience in the sky.

Views That Will Never Be Blocked
The tour begins with the outdoor space. The terrace stretches 116 feet across, facing Central Park with views that cannot be obstructed by future construction. In a city where one year’s view can vanish the next, that permanence is rare. From this vantage point, you see trees, rooftops, and the full sweep of Amsterdam Avenue. It feels less like an apartment terrace and more like standing at the top of the world.
The Kitchen and Dining Spaces
Inside, the apartment offers 6,400 square feet, four bedrooms, and four and a half bathrooms. The dining area opens into a sleek kitchen equipped with Miele appliances, including a built-in coffee machine. Breakfast here comes with either a Central Park view or a Hudson River backdrop — two $38 million paintings changing with the light.
For entertaining, sliding doors allow the kitchen to be closed off, keeping the bustle of meal prep separate from the flow of guests.
The Living Room and Private Floor
The living room stretches with 270-degree views of Manhattan. It feels less like a home and more like a permanent observation deck, a space where the sunrise and sunset frame your day. Upstairs, the primary suite takes the entire floor plate, with walls of windows, a massive walk-in closet, and a bathroom lined in marble. A freestanding tub overlooks the Hudson, private and paparazzi-proof.
Other bedrooms each offer their own view — some facing the park, some the river — with secondary bathrooms that rival luxury hotel suites. Even the laundry room stands out, a rare amenity at this level.
An Office with Ideas Worth Millions
One of the highlights is a corner office with floor-to-ceiling windows. The view is so powerful it feels like a launchpad for billion-dollar ideas. For the right buyer, this is the kind of room where strategy becomes reality.
The Highest Outdoor Space on the Upper West Side
The penthouse also claims the highest private outdoor space in the neighborhood. From here, the city feels endless. It is not just luxury — it is cinematic, a perfect fit for Succession’s Roy family.
The $38 Million Lifestyle
This apartment is more than a home. It is a statement of scale, design, and permanence in a city built on change. For the ultra-wealthy, it offers both privacy and spectacle. For everyone else, it offers a glimpse of how billionaires wake up and go to sleep in New York City.
