...broke up soon after. Ever since, Hwang has lived a luxurious if somewhat work-obsessed life in Manhattan, in a rented midtown apartment with spectacular wraparound views. The place came furnished -- not even the throw pillows are his -- but he vows to decorate in style a newly purchased Manhattan triplex to which he will move in October. He rarely cooks or eats at home; instead he deftly table-hops at fashionable restaurants and dates "now and then." His "vice, if I have any," is clothing from Issey Miyake and other Asian designers...
...money generally have very limited ideas about what to do with it. Trump's biggest personal expenditures have been on extravagantly luxurious residences. The builder of Trump Tower, whose first Manhattan apartment was a dingy single room overlooking a water tower, originally reserved for himself a $10 million triplex penthouse, but when he first saw yachtsman Khashoggi's pad in the nearby Olympic Tower, which was approximately the size of a Persian Gulf sheikdom, he naturally wanted one just as big or bigger.

Murdoch spends only a few days each month at the studio, then returns home to his Fifth Avenue triplex in New York City. The mogul says that he and his wife have no plans to buy a house or apartment in Los Angeles. They appear content to stay in the small, secluded Bel-Air Hotel...
...publications and the jet-jumping schedule he must keep to oversee them, Murdoch does not have flashy tastes. He always flies by commercial airliner. His suits, though well tailored, are often wrinkled. He rarely joins New York's evening social whirl, preferring quiet dinners at his Fifth Avenue triplex with his wife Anna and children. (Murdoch has a daughter from his first marriage and two sons and a daughter from his present one.) Weekends are often spent at a farm in upstate New York or at a ski lodge in Aspen, Colo...
