Rudy Giuliani Drops Price On Manhattan Apartment Amidst Bankruptcy And Legal Issues
DEBARYLIFE – Rudy Giuliani has reduced the price of his Manhattan apartment just days after launching a coffee brand in an attempt to drastically improve his financial situation as he confronts bankruptcy and $148 million in debt.
Originally listed by Sotheby’s International Real Estate for $6.5 million last summer, the former mayor of New York City reduced the price of his Upper East Side home by $400,000 to $5.7 million. February saw the removal of the listing by the former adviser to US President Donald Trump. Three months into the listing, he had already lowered the asking price for his Gothic-style apartment.
The apartment dates back to the pre-war era and features a wood-burning fireplace set inside a library, hardwood floors, high ceilings, leaded glass windows, and a semi-private elevator. Everywhere you look are plenty of windows letting in natural light.
The Independent emailed Sotheby’s and Mr. Giuliani’s representative requesting a response.
After launching the coffee company “Rudy. Coffee” last week, this is just the former mayor of New York City’s latest attempt to raise money in the face of growing financial difficulties.
Pictures from Mr. Giuliani’s tenure as US Attorney for the Southern District of New York are featured on the bags, along with images of him enjoying a cup of coffee while wearing flip-flops. Launching in June, the inaugural 100 bags will bear the mayor’s signature.

“I have lived a fast-paced life with a variety of responsibilities, but one constant has been a good cup of coffee, which is now proven to have health benefits,” the former mayor writes in a message posted on the website.

The judge overseeing Mr. Giuliani’s bankruptcy case recently chastised him for not doing enough to improve his circumstances, contributing to his mounting legal problems. His appeal of a $148 million defamation judgment against him was denied by the judge on Tuesday.
A judge ordered Mr. Giuliani to pay the judgment amount to two election workers as part of his purported efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential election results after he filed for bankruptcy in December.
Due to allegations of election meddling, he has been charged in Georgia and Arizona. To the indictment from Georgia, he has entered a not-guilty plea. Not only has he been disbarred in Washington, DC, and New York, but he is also the target of other litigation.
