She’s livin’ largentina

Argentina’s wealthiest woman, Maria Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat — the 90-year-old billionaire widow of industrialist Alfredo Fortabat — is even wealthier after just selling her Pierre apartment for $19.5 million.
The gorgeous, 14-room duplex co-op is 6,100 square feet with five bedrooms and six bathrooms. There’s a 1,700-square-foot terrace overlooking Central Park. The hefty $20,000-plus maintenance each month includes amenities like four hours of daily maid service, fresh linens and turndown service.
De Fortabat, a serious art collector who was once painted by Andy Warhol, has her own museum in Buenos Aires. But the art from her Pierre home is being sold, with some pieces offered during Capo Auction’s Dec. 17 event. These pieces include a rare, 19th- century Russian polychrome, enameled and bejeweled “Madonna and Child” icon (estimated at $11,000) and a rare Yaacov Agam electrified “kinetic” sculpture table, circa 1975 (estimated at $5,500).”
