The family of a Russian billionaire has bought a New York City penthouse apartment for US$88 million.

The Wall Street Journal says the property on Central Park West in Manhattan is now the most expensive apartment in New York.

The seller was Sanford I Weill, the former head of Citigroup. It was bought by a trust for the daughter of Dmitry Rybolovlev.

Features of the apartment include a wraparound terrace.

The Journal says the sale generated nearly $2.5 million in city and state taxes.

The brokers' commission: about $3.5 million.

The deal closed on Wednesday.

Weill previously said he plans to donate the proceeds of the sale to charity.
