Inter Milan soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has splashed out $2.5m for a luxury New York timeshare. The Swedish international striker bought a 781sq-ft one-bedroom hotel in the 46-storey Trump SoHo, according to U.S reports.
But Ibrahimovic will have to wait to use the swanky apartment, as it is not slated to open until 2009.
The football star cannot use his new place in the condo-hotel for more than 120 days a year, and not for more than 29 days in a row. "I think a clientele that only stays in midtown and has to drive all the way down here for restaurants and places like that will have a hotel with standards they expect. So it will fill up the old-world SoHo economy," sales chief Rodrigo Nino told the New York Observer.
It has not all been plain sailing for the luxurious development. In January two workers fell form the 42nd floor while pouring concrete, killing one of them.
