When The Captain put his amazing corner penthouse in the Trump World Tower up for sale last September, the original listing showed off completely barren rooms. But the listing was recently updated to show a fully furnished urban palace.

The price is holding steady at $20 million.
The 5,425 square foot pad faces south off the 88th floor — which due Donald Trump’s weirdly inflated numbering rules is actually the 70th — offering an incredible view of Manhattan’s iconic skyline through huge 16′ tall windows. It has 4 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, chef’s eat-in kitchen, dining room, den, and living room complete with a fireplace.
Jeter’s residence also boasts a variety of fancy gadgets, including a Lutron lighting system and a Crestron home audio/visual system.
The penthouse atop Manhattan’s Trump World Tower was put on the market last September for a gigantic sum of $20 million (he bought it for $12.6 million in 2001), prompting rumors of the departure of the free agent to-be. The Yankees squashed any more speculation when they signed their All-Star shortstop to a 3-year, $51 million deal in December.
No one knows for certain why he’s giving up this bachelor pad, but we do know that the 30,875-square foot ultra-mansion he’s building down in Tampa seems to be nearing completion and rumors of Jeter taking the next step with girlfriend Minka Kelly have gotten more intense.
Not much of a lawn, but the private boat launch more than compensates.

Speaking of athletes and homes, I just noticed Drew Brees and the family moved in next door to me here in Del Mar. Paid 6.4 million back in June 2010. We also have Aaron Rodgers here in Del Mar. I find it interesting we could have the last two super bowl winning quarterbacks as D.M. residence. I guess I will be rooting for the Packers!
Jim – told you to stay with that baseball career. Lefty pitchers are always in demand!
I’d trade in my pacific ocean view for the NYC skyline in a heartbeat!
That’s an amazing view! I could not live on the 70th floor of anything but I would love to borrow that place for a few weeks in the summer.
Does the bachelor pad come with elevator and, if so, is it included in the price?
The luxury and lavish lifestyle can only make you happy for so long…until you want more than you can handle…and then you go insane.
