Bloomberg: Tsai's (and Ma's) family office buys Central Park South penthouse, where Tsai previously bought

Joe Tsai’s Family Office Pays $188 Million for Dan Och’s NYC Penthouse, Bloomberg reported 1/19/22, noting that less than three years ago, the 220 Central Park South penthouse had been purchased for $95 million. It also comes with a maid's room downstairs.

Is it for billionaire Tsai or fellow Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma, both of whom have their money managed by Blue Pool Capital? The article assumes it's Tsai, who last year "bought two full-floor condo apartments" there, paying $157.5 million.

(Hey, shouldn't Tsai get a pied-a-terre in Brooklyn, near the Barclays Center? Maybe he's renting.)

The Bloomberg article, oddly enough, ends:
Tsai acquired a 49% stake in the Brooklyn Nets basketball club from Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov in 2018.
Wait--the transaction was announced in 2017, and Tsai bought the rest of the team, plus the arena operating company, in 2019.
