Rumor Mill: Oprah Buying Penthouse at One Hanson?
This is pure rumor at this point, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s coming in through credible enough sources that we’re gonna run with it.

This is pure rumor at this point, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s coming in through credible enough sources that we’re gonna run with it. We’re hearing that the Queen of All Media herself, Oprah, is buying the penthouse in the Williamsburg Bank building, aka One Hanson Place. Everyone associated with the project is saying “no comment” but we hear that the word’s been buzzing around the brokerage community in recent weeks. Can any little birdies out there shed any light onto this one? Update: We just heard from the developer (who was unreachable yesterday) and he’s saying this rumor is news to him, so it looks like The Big O is staying put on Lake Shore Drive for the time being.

so celebrities don’t need places to live 10:47?
maggie gyllenhall doesn’t actually live in park slope. that was her ghost i saw on 5th avenue last week?
i do realize that these are sometimes places that people will never reside, but that is the minority of cases. most celebrities do have places in new york where they actually stay when they are here. beyonce alreadly lives in tbe bloomberg building now. why is it so hard to believe she wanted a new home?
don’t be such a downer on a good, fluffy piece of gossip.
Celebrities get discounts for buying apartments in which they will never visit, let alone reside. The developers seek out the business managers to give them a good deal to flip and they both get publicity. I bet Magic Johnson’s people talked to her people…. and it may never have gone further than that.
“Beyonce” is not so smart if that’s the best thing she can find to spent that much money on. In fact, I’d say that makes her an abject fool.
I know for a fact that 9:26 is one literal-minded, no-sense-of-humor dumbass. Chill, girlfriend, it was a joke. If you take THIS kinda crap so solemnly, you really should start reading the New york times once in a while. And take the pole out of your backside.
yes, best selling female vocalist, hoards of grammy awards, an empire worth millions.
she must be really stupid.
how much you got in the bank????
And Beyonce must be dumber than dumb.
considering that beyonce just bought a place in the new richard meier building at grand army plaza, this does not surprise me.
brooklyn is hotter than hot.
jer-REY, jer-REY.
9:58, why are you posting here? Don’t you realize that Jerry Springer is on?
