Celebrities have long flocked to New York City.
Stars such as Meryl Streep, Justin Timberlake, Sarah Jessica Parker, Robert De Niro, Madonna, Sting and Taylor Swift all call the Big Apple home – at least part of the time. And naturally, they live in some of the most opulent homes in the city.
Take a look at some of the most over-the-top amenities in New York celebrity homes, from automated robotic parking and indoor swimming pools to private VIP lifts and IMAX theatres.

Actors Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal are selling their brownstone home in the affluent Brooklyn neighbourhood of Park Slope for US$4 million.
