Fashion queen Vera Wang’s wealthy ex-husband Arthur Becker has scored himself a very fashionable pad.
The businessman, who heads online magazine distribution service Zinio, has forked out more than $ 30,000 a month for a three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom apartment at 15 Union Sq. West, spies told the Day after day News.
While undoubtedly luxurious, the material goods is a far weep in terms of style from the $ 23 million duplex apartment he once shared with Wang, his wife of 23 years, at 740 Park Ave., arguably the most expensive, and stuffiest, co-op building in New York.
It has a massive terrace with views of Union Square, a gas fireplace, cast-iron arched windows and two walls of windows. Residents also have access to the building’s 50-foot lap pool, state-of-the-art fitness focal point and yoga studio.
