New York's Most Expensive Apartment Is Worth More Than Most Private Islands

    And other facts that prove how out of control real estate is getting.

    This is The Residence at River House.

    And at $130 million, it is currently the most expensive apartment on the market in all of New York.

    Here's a casual sitting room that happens to be ABSOLUTELY HUMONGOUS.

    And this library is bigger than most people's entire apartment.

    In comparison, this is Necker Island. Currently owned by Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, it's valued around $100 million.

    This is D'Arros Island, located in the Seychelles. Its worth is estimated at $94 million.

    And here's Hans Lollik Island, part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, valued at $45 million.

    Want to know what else you could buy in place of The Residence?

    Almost 326,000 of the new iPhones so you can stay connected with your friends when you (inevitably) get lost in your 62,000-square-foot megamansion.

    217,000 of Ikea's Folldal beds to furnish your new place.

    How about just under 15,000 of these dining tables for those big dinner parties you'll be throwing?

    You could pick up an original copy of "The Scream."

    Or you could drink over 30 million grande lattes from Starbucks, to give you the energy you'll need to walk around the entire apartment.

    Want a fancier drink? Get 72 bottles of the world's most expensive champagne, which comes with AN ACTUAL DIAMOND.

    Or maybe you'd rather live in a castle — you could buy this one 25 times over.

    Oh, and in case you're wondering, the average home price for the entire United States? Just over $162,000.

    Conclusion: Real estate is getting out of hand.
