Billionaire hedge fund manager Marc Lasry purchased the famed penthouse at 55 Central Park West last week, the New York Times reported. 

Lasry, who runs Avenue Capital, paid $33 million for the Upper West Side co-op. The listing price had been $35 million.

The 55 Central Park West building is famous for its role in "Ghostbusters."

We can expect that Lasry will have a great time decorating this place for Halloween. The Lasry townhouse on the Upper East Side is known for having some of Manhattan's spookiest Halloween decorations.

The apartment has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and one half bath.
