<p>Brooklyn boy <strong>Sandy Weill</strong>, the former CEO of Citigroup, made waves when <a href="http://www.observer.com/2011/11/sandy-weill-wants-88m-for-his-cpw-condo-for-charity/">he put his full-floor 15CPW home on the market for $88 million</a>. In a highly publicized (and carefully calculated) PR move, however, he quickly announced that proceeds of the sale would in fact go to charity. Well, it looks like some hospital or synagogue is about to be rolling in some serious dough, as <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/realestate/residential/new_kidd_on_the_block_eZce2DyxnqcxKbfD8QACOL?CMP=OTC-rss&amp;FEEDNAME=">Mr. Weill has found a buyer</a>, the <em>Post</em> reports.</p>
<p>An agreement has been reached for the sale, and unsurprisingly the buyer is reportedly <a href="http://www.observer.com/2011/11/china-russia-and-brazil-buy-up-new-york/">foreign.</a> We suspect either <a href="http://www.observer.com/2011/11/all-of-new-york-becomes-chinatown-for-luxury-buyers/">a wealthy Chinese businessman</a> or some shipping titan trying to get his assets the Helios out of Greece.</p>

The floor plan proudly remains, however, depicting the condo's mouthwatering layout.</p>
<p>We hope the elliptical bedroom comes with a rotating bed.</p>
