A-Rod’s Man Cave Penthouse is Being Sold for $8 Million

January 25th. 2012, 9:20am

Last spring, A-Rod bought a man cave on the Upper West Side for $5.5 million, but he’s already opted to sell the joint after being there for just eight months. The sell price? An amazing $8 million. Of course. For a guy who will make $29 million this season, pocketing an extra $2.5 million in play money after owning it for less than a year and barely living in it only seems natural.

The apartment has views of the Statue of Liberty and is strictly adorned with either white or black leather furniture to go along with the appropriately cold white-washed walls and floors. The uninviting, shallow feel of the place gives off the perfect scent of creepiness, so it’ll be a huge upset if we learn that the buyer is not in fact, Patrick Bateman.

A perfect example of the old saying, “money can’t buy taste”

The term, “Man Cave” needs to be retired.

I bet A-rod’s business cards come in eggshell white.

Can a “cave” exist in pure white on the 35th floor?

This is the textbook edition of “you gotta have money to make money.”

I feel like this video should be posted every time someone mentions American Psycho. (NSFW)

I now assume that A-Rod has the exact same, constantly running inner-monologue of Patrick Bateman…

“I live in the Rushmore Building on the 35th floor. The entire 35th floor. My name is Alex Rodriguez. I’m 36 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Alex Rodriguez. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.”

I tried to make meat loaf out of the girl but it becomes too frustrating a task and instead I spend the afternoon smearing her meat all over the walls, chewing on strips of skin I ripped from her body

Surprised Coors Light hasn’t taken the term yet.

And is anyone surprised A-Rod’s pad is cold, stark and devoid of color or taste?

Those walls are not whitewashed. Calling them such is a slap in the face to whitewash.

I’m assuming the realtor didn’t serve ribs and chili dogs during the open house?

I bet he has chased an escort through the halls of that apartments nude holding a chainsaw

This seems to apply actually. Feed me a stray cat.

It’s crazy how dead accurate it is, Grizz.
