Roepers, who famously nicknamed her Gulfstream IV jet the "Shafi Express," is well-known on the Manhattan social circuit. Property records show she bought the home for $15.75 million in 2013, possibly as a condition of the divorce.

The home has nearly 7,500 square feet of space and is located in an Upper East Side co-op building where Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen, Deutsche Bank director Kevin Parker, and pharmaceuticals exec Howard Soloman also own units.

Its thirteen rooms have high ceilings, and many have views of Central Park.

According to the Observer, the interiors were recently done by noted architect Peter Marino, who is sometimes known as the "leather daddy of luxury" and has done retail work for Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior. He also designed the Shafi Express.
