Walking? For 20 minutes? My father did not make all this money for me to be forced to mingle with you commoners

This is especially rich coming from a guy who lives in an area famously known as Billionaire’s Row where monthly rent would likely be north of $10,000. He’s also the founder of Buttonwood Development and Town Residential, two real estate companies that are worth quite a bit of money. Even if he paid $18 to visit his kids every single day, that’s only $6,500 or so per year. He probably spends more than that on a bottle of wine at dinner. The man just doesn’t want to walk even though we know walking is good for longevity, and the ultra-wealthy are obsessed with longevity.

He probably pays his personal trainer 1000 bucks a day

Someone on another other thread poited out that he would only need to enter the zone because 61st and 5th are both one-way streets, forcing you to go down to 59th street before you can then back north.

This is not necessary on the return trip, so it's not even $18 , it's $9.

He could also completely avoid it by getting a parking spot on Madison Av. instead
