Legendary magician David Kopperfield "Penthouse for $ 7 million (photo)

The Board of Directors of the Housing Complex in Manhattan requires Copperfield compensation for losses, which are calculated by millions of dollars. In Penthous on the 54th floor, celebrity has not lived since 2018.

The world-renowned 67-year-old illusionist David Kopperfield literally "defeated" his luxurious Manhattan Penthous worth $ 7 million, leaving it in a state of "complete unfitness", which can potentially damage the whole building, reports The Independent with reference to court documents.

The Board of Directors of The Galleria, the Condominium on the Eastern 57th Street, after six years of attempts to drink celebrity filed a complaint with him and showed photos that shows the condition of the apartment on the 54th floor of the building now. On the footage provided in the claim: a dirty bath, stains on the carpet, peeling paint, through holes in the ceiling and more.

The complaint also states that the apartment has inseparable damage from the water, "so serious that they pose a danger to the" concrete structure of the building ", contribute to the growth of mold and fungus, and actively attract other apartments in the house. " The illusionist is accused of harvesting about $ 3 million with an apartment of 1 390 square meters and apartments of his neighbors.

"His motivation to destroy her own apartment and allow her to collapse completely unclear, especially when he still owns it and puts it for sale," the complaint reads. "After trying to resolve this problem for many years, the Council has no choice but to go to court," said the media by the lawyer of the Council Joshaua Raboff.

The claim claims that although the highest paid illusionist in the world and tries to sell real estate, its condition "clearly violates" the charter of the Council: "In a typical manner, Copperfield refuses to be responsible for the consequences ". The magician purchased a penthouse in October 1997 for about $ 7. 4 million. Kopperfield's quadruplex containing a indoor pool consists of two penthouses, combined in the mid-1970s into one "Dream House" by General Motors heir Stuart Rowlings Mott.

In 1991, The Galleria again found herself in the news when the 4-year-old son of Eric Klepton fell out of the open window on the 53rd floor and crashed to death. Instead, the illusionist's representative stated that the photos included in the claim "do not demonstrate the current state of the apartment," adding that the issue will be resolved in court. Kopperfield, born David Kotkin in Fun, New Jersey, began to perform at the age of 12 under the pseudonym "Davino, The Boy Magician".

Since then, Kopperfield has won the 21st Emmy Prize, was called the King of Magic by the American magic Society and received the Live Legend Award from the Congress Library. He owns 11 private islands, and his face appears on postal stamps released by countries such as Guyana, Dominica and St. Vincent and Grenadine. Copperfield was also recently accused of sexual abuse, the accusation he strongly denied, and was still related to the late pedestrian Jeffrey Epstein.
