Amy Schumer buys $12.1 mn penthouse

Actress Amy Schumer has reportedly splashed out a whopping $12.1 million on a five-bedroom penthouse here, after the asking price was dropped by over $6 million.

The actress' new abode is set over two floors and the glass walls give amazing views of the Hudson River and New Jersey, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Perhaps the most unusual and gorgeous penthouse ever to appear on the market. Chic, bright and airy like a Malibu beach house with the sophistication of New York architecture," the property's listing on YouTube read.

According to its listing, the home measures at 4,500 square feet on the inside, and almost 3,000 square feet on the outside and also features a gas fire place and power room.

The "Train Wreck" star had put her Upper West Side brownstone up for sale after buying it in 2014, but it has so far failed to sell.

It was originally on the market for $2.075 million last November, but knocked the price down to $1.625 million in August.

Despite being a huge star, Schumer recently said she is still really close to her high school friends and arranged for them all to attend "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2" premiere last year.

"I was like, 'I have to bring all my friends from high school.' They were like, 'Are you serious?' I was like, 'Yeah, if I go and don't bring them, it'll be an issue'," she said.
