If you want to stay in the most expensive hotel suite in New York, you’ll need about $75,000 to spare. A report from NewYorkHotels.org looked at the priciest places to stay in Manhattan, and the incredible abodes come with a variety of upscale amenities, like a chauffeured Rolls Royce and a personal styling from Christian Dior.
At the top of the list is the Penthouse at the Mark Hotel at $75,000 per night in October, according to the research. The 12,000-square-foot suite was designed by French designer Jacques France and includes five bedrooms, four fireplaces, six bathrooms, a grand piano and two bars. If that’s not enough, there is also a library, dining room, conservatory and a rooftop terrace that provides view so the Met and Central Park.

CEO pay has increased from about 20 times the typical worker’s pay to 271 times greater, from 1965 to 2016, according to 2017 a study by the EPI.
As the economic recovery continues, Price said that it is critically important to continue to look at growth and specifically how it is distributed.
“For some reason, the economy just doesn’t have the generation of wage growth we’d like to see,” Price said. “We like to focus a light on the way that income is distributed to share that the people who make decisions are benefiting from the economy in a way we might not all be.”
The gap between incomes of the top 1 percent and bottom 99 percent are growing
