A GUIDE To New York City’s 1%
:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:


" After weeks of literally protesting Wall Street, Occupy Wall Street has realized that billionaire CEOs actually don't live in lower Manhattan. So they're headed uptown! To help them, here's a map of where the richest of New York's rich live.



By camping out on Wall Street, the NYC residents that protesters have probably most inconvenienced are the small business owners whose bathrooms they've been befouling. Sure, there are rich people in the apartments surrounding Zuccotti Park, but no self-respecting billionaire CEO would live in the Financial District.



But today, protesters took a "millionaire's march," protesting outside the homes of News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch, billionaire republican David Koch, and JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. Strangely the protests are occurring during the day when all these billionaires are probably out of the house, busy stuffing wads of $100 bills into burlap sacks.



Here is a map of where the most notable New York City 1%ers—including Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani and a bunch of Wall Street billionaires—live, for your protesting needs. :rofl:

1. Man, that's some neighborhood!
Of course, you'd be hard pressed to do anything with it, nor would I recommend it. But the list is great.

I can hear the Eva Gabore part of the "Green Acres" song....

"New YORK is where I'd rather STAY!
I get allergic smelling HAY!
I just adore a penthouse view-
Dahling, I love you, but give me Park AVENUE!"

3. Its a hell-of-a who's who map & neighborhood. I doubt they have the balls to put ' WE ARE THE 1% '
on their windows.

2. Those places are unoccupied 90% of the time
and exist only when the billionaire feels it necessary to put in an appearance somewhere in the city, usually far above everyone else in a box seat. They'll crash in the NYC co op apartment for a night or two because they're above staying in hotels.

The pads they spend most of their time in are many and dotted around the country and largely inaccessible.

4. Working CEOs are probably in the city more than that
Passive investment types, you're probably right. They only come to NY intermittantly and spend most of their time in spots where the weather is better and the recreational opportunities are superior. They can choose these without regard to having to show up at an office ever if they don't want to.

Actual CEOs do show up at their headquarters offices fairly frequently, although the job probably keeps them traveling over half of the time.
