<p>If you're in the market for a $10 million <a href="http://www.50gramercyparknorth.com/home.html">Ian Schrager</a> apartment, you'll be sad to know that Icelandic billionaire Jon Asgeir Johannesson has snatched up the <a href="http://www.50gramercyparknorth.com/residences_floor_16a.html#">second-to-top floor</a> at the Gramercy Park Hotel. (Click on the floorplan above to enlarge.)</p>
<p>According to the GPH Web site, the floor-through apartment has 2,988 square feet (there are also 738 feet outdoors). The library/bedroom and dining room both face the park--and there's a wood-burning fireplace in the former so that Mr. Johannesson can laughingly incinerate his extra cash.</p>
<p>He made that cash as a European supermarket-and-retail tycoon, but he may lose some of it to some big scandals: <a href="http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/7-19-2003-43155.asp">Click here</a> for more.</p>
<p>This summer, a <em>Wall Street Journal</em> profile mentioned that he'd bought an apartment in the neighborhood, but didn't mention the price. According to city records, he paid the round sum of $10,360,693.75, closing earlier this month.</p>
