Recently, Sheldon has plans for a 42-story mixed-use tower along the East River, part of his $4B development project that has seen more than a decade of delays. He’s known in the art world for his record-breaking collections and owns works by Boticelli and Matisse; in May 2015, he sold a Giacometti sculpture (“The Pointing Man”) for $104M, the priciest sculpture sold at auction.
