The couple Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost just scored big in Manhattan’s real estate market. The pair bought a penthouse on Park Avenue for R$ 67.2 million, well below the original asking price of R$ 144.6 million.
The property of Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost is located at 1220 Park Avenue, spans three floors, and covers 557 square meters, according to the website The Richest. The residence has six bedrooms and stunning views of Central Park.
It’s located in a cooperative building designed by Rosario Candela in the 1930s in Carnegie Hill, just four kilometers from the Saturday Night Live studio. The triplex features five private terraces and eight balconies.
The formal living room includes six sets of French doors opening onto Juliet balconies, while the oak-paneled library features a wood-burning fireplace and views of Midtown and Central Park.
Each floor has high ceilings, moldings, and pre-war details that are increasingly rare on the Upper East Side. With rich textures, custom woodwork, and a library that feels like it belongs in a private club, the unit blends size and character in a market dominated by glass towers and minimalist interiors.
Also according to The Richest, the sellers, Craig and Deborah Cogut, paid the same R$ 67.2 million in 2006. Craig Cogut is the founder and managing partner of Pegasus Capital Advisors, a private equity impact investment firm based in Connecticut. The couple first listed the apartment for sale in 2018.
In the years that followed, they reduced the price several times before settling on the final tag of R$ 67.2 million last September. The penthouse underwent a full two-year renovation that included mechanical updates and modern finishes throughout. The result is a structure that balances its 20th-century bones with modern function and space.
Johansson and Jost married in 2020 and have since pursued both parallel and overlapping careers in entertainment. Johansson was the world’s highest-paid actress in 2018 and 2019. According to reports, she earned up to R$ 77.4 million per film in the Marvel’s Avengers franchise.
Johansson’s films have collectively grossed over R$ 77.4 billion worldwide, making her the highest-grossing female star of all time. Jost, a longtime writer and co-anchor of Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update, reportedly earns R$ 129,000 per episode, totaling about R$ 2.58 million per season.
The celebrity power couple is said to have explored joint television projects, which would be their first collaboration following their recent on-screen appearance in Fly Me to the Moon. The film, a romantic comedy with a historical backdrop, grossed R$ 216.5 million worldwide against a budget of R$ 515.5 million and received mixed reviews from critics.
