Sting sells house number 8

Pop star and eco-warrior Sting should soon have one less address to worry about - but not for long. He has reduced the price of his four-bedroom New York duplex overlooking Central Park from £17 million to a more competitive £12.6  million...

"You may be able to negotiate an ever lower price," reports a neighbour. "Sting is keen to offload it as he has spent £17.6 million buying a 16th-17th floor four-bedroom duplex in the same Central Park West complex with an orangery and state-of-the-art gym."

The acquisitive Geordie milkman's son and his second wife, film producer Trudie Styler, also own two Grade II-listed London mansions (in Highgate Village and St James's), plus homes in Malibu, the Lake District, Tuscany and Wiltshire. Meanwhile, the Stings tirelessly campaign to save the Amazon rainforest and provide shelter for the homeless.
