Vladimir Stolyarenko bought Valery Kogan's Plaza home
A prominent Russian banker is the buyer of Russian airport billionaire Valery Kogan's palatial spread — a residence ornately dressed in a Versailles style — at New York's famed Plaza, Gimme Shelter can reveal. Vladimir Stolyarenko who once chaired one of Russia's largest commercial banks, Evrofinance Mosnarbank, paid $21 million for two units — 1007 and 1009 — at the famed Central Park-facing edifice. The over-the-top lair — with trimmings including 24-karat gold and Venetian plaster — first asked $50 million following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Listing broker Charlie Attias, of Compass, declined to comment. Stolyarenko's new dwelling spans 5,302 square feet and features Central Park views. Its foyer spills into a great room with high ceilings and paneled walls — while the main bedroom suite has a bathroom clad in floor-to-ceiling onyx. 12 Valery Kogan. 12 Vladimir Stolyarenko. 12 A view of the expansive layout. Rich Caplan At the same time, Stolyaranko and his wife, Alfiya, have listed another unit in the Plaza for $10.49 million. What's more: Their brokers, Jessica and Burt Savitsky, of Brown Harris Stevens, are offering a $7,500 American Express gift card to any broker who brings in a buyer to unit 1503, according to the listing. The Savitskys also declined to comment. That unit, as of press time, has been on and off the market for more than 2,000 days. The couple purchased it for $10.37 million back in 2007. They first listed it for $12.8 million in 2008, according to StreetEasy. Come 2019, Vladimir sold a Plaza unit, No. 1903, to Alfiya for $10 million, according to property records. 12 Touches include 24-karat gold and ornate medallions gracing the ceilings. Rich Caplan 12 The aesthetic extends into the dining room. Rich Caplan 12 There's a separate nook to fit a smaller sitting area. Rich Caplan 12 A hidden bar. Rich Caplan The Stolyarenkos are also the owners of a now-dilapidated Palm Beach property that they bought from fashion titan Tommy Hilfiger and Dee Ocleppo for $35 million in 2018 — when Christian Angle, of Christian Angle Real Estate, had the listing. At that time, the mansion, at 100 Casa Bendita, looked good but needed a renovation, sources told Gimme. Last summer, the Palm Beach Daily News published shocking photos showing the mansion in extreme disrepair, with construction workers finally on the property to fix water and termite damage, rusted storm shutters, rotted doors and more. The paper has also chronicled neighbors' frustration with the owners of the run-down oceanfront estate, and the flooding on the charming cul-de-sac, allegedly caused by the home's 'backed-up drainage system.' 'There was a bit of a ruckus about it, because they let it deteriorate, and the town forced them to continue with the renovation,' an inside source told Gimme. 'It's been years and it eventually became an eyesore.' The source added: 'It's been a mystery. The buyer has been unreachable.' Added another inside source: 'It became horrendous.' When reached by phone, the Stolyarenkos' lawyer, Glenn S. Krutoff, declined to comment at press time. 12 Elsewhere, a library comes sheathed in wood paneling.

It was on and off the market for the next 11 years — including in 2013, when it asked a staggering $80 million. It ultimately sold for $31.24 million in 2019.) While many ultra-rich Russians fled New York following Russia's war on Ukraine in 2022, some are itching — and beginning — to return, several sources told Gimme. 'The ones who are returning have lived outside Russia for decades and were often educated in the United States,' a source said. The Plaza itself has its own unique history. Built in 1907, the French Renaissance-inspired chateau-style building was designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh — the legendary hand behind the Dakota. In 1986, it was listed as a National Historic Landmark. Two years later, in 1988, now-President Donald Trump bought it for $390 million and put his then-wife, the late Ivanna Trump, in charge — saying he paid her in dresses and $1 a year. He lost the hotel four years later. It's now owned by the government of Qatar, via Katara Hospitality, which was formerly known as Qatar National Hotels Co.

Teardown home inside the Mar-a-Lago security zone asks $12.5M: ‘Like you're part of a private, secret club'
It's in the zone! If you aren't part of President Trump's inner circle, you can still get inside the Palm Beach presidential security zone — but it will cost you millions of dollars. A modest house that's 'just a stone's throw' from his Mar-a-Lago club is on the market for $12.5 million — most likely as a teardown, said listing broker Margit Brandt, of Premier Estate Properties. The Palm Beach Daily News first reported the listing. 6 An aerial of the Bermuda-style home, which sits on one third of an acre. SHAWN HOOD MEDIA, PROVIDED BY MARGIT BRANDT, PREMIER ESTATE PROPERTIES 6 The residence, most likely a teardown, asks $12.5 million. SHAWN HOOD MEDIA, PROVIDED BY MARGIT BRANDT, PREMIER ESTATE PROPERTIES 6 The home is also just steps from the ocean. SHAWN HOOD MEDIA, PROVIDED BY MARGIT BRANDT, PREMIER ESTATE PROPERTIES Built in 1952, the one-story, Bermuda-style home is at 112 Algoma Road, on a street closed to through-traffic when Trump is at Mar-a-Lago. It's now one of the world's most coveted, exclusive locations — and a great spot to build a dream house, Brandt told Gimme Shelter. 'It's a beautiful area, by Mar-a-Lago and the ocean. It looks like the Bahamas, with all the palm trees,' Brandt said. 6 The home comes with deeded beach access. SHAWN HOOD MEDIA, PROVIDED BY MARGIT BRANDT, PREMIER ESTATE PROPERTIES 6 Palm Beach has seen an astounding post-presidential boom in terms of luxury property sales. SHAWN HOOD MEDIA, PROVIDED BY MARGIT BRANDT, PREMIER ESTATE PROPERTIES 'The house is directly one street over from the club,' she added. 'We've sold all inventory here over the past six months. Not much becomes available here, but now there's a chance for someone to build their dream house in the Estate Section on a buildable lot for $12.5 million.' The presidential security zone is 'probably just a quarter mile,' Brandt said, adding 'that it has become a desirable stretch for people who value privacy and security. It's like you're part of a private, secret club.' At 2,930 square feet, the home comes with four bedrooms, four baths and sits on a third of an acre. It also has deeded access to the beach, which is just 245 feet away. It has been owned by the same family since 1981, when it was purchased for $385,000, according to records. 6 A long driveway leads to the four-bedroom home. SHAWN HOOD MEDIA, PROVIDED BY MARGIT BRANDT, PREMIER ESTATE PROPERTIES The listing is part of a 'post-presidential boom' in real estate, Brandt told Gimme. Since Trump was elected last November, six homes in the presidential security zone have sold — for $12 million to $27.5 million, according to reports. That includes 1090 S. Ocean Blvd., which asked $45 million as a pre-construction spec house in the presidential security zone. Brandt, who repped the buyer and seller, sold it as land only for $19.5 million. The deal also came with Mar-a-Lago membership that had been grandfathered in. Initiation fees are now $2 million, sources told Gimme.
