Synopsis
At the corner of 71st Street and Park Avenue, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, is the famed limestone apartment building that Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Chryslers, and Ron Perelman have called home. In 740 PARK, society reporter Michael Gross chronicles the fascinating history of the massive 1930 luxury building whose spacious duplexes and triplexes sell in the high millions. With his unique access to the wealthy, Gross was able to collect juicy insider stories about the denizens, their money, and their marriages, dishing the dirt on many of the rich and famous, including Jackie Kennedy and sister Lee Radziwell, who grew up there, as well as the likes of Edgar Bronfman, Ronald Lauder, Saul Steinberg, and Henry Kravis. This society exposé charts the changing social scene and changing power structures of New York as an older generation of blood-related money gives way to a newer group of--to use Tom Wolfe's apt term--"masters of the universe" who are corporate-connected and mind-bogglingly rich.
