You doubt what? Here is the link: Want to buy the top mansion in Brooklyn? It's just $30M - NY Daily News

There are currently 48 properties on the market asking $30 million or more, according to listing site StreetEasy — but 47 of them are in Manhattan. One of them is a $50 million apartment on the 75th floor of the Time Warner Center. It belongs to Anissimova’s daughter, 28-year-old daughter Anna.

Only people who spend that type of money to live that far out in Brooklyn are russians and they want to live in Manhattan beach
