Video shows crane delivers Jeff Bezos' furniture to penthouse after billionaire closes down 5th Ave
Must be a perk of Prime.
A stretch of Fifth Avenue was closed for a massive delivery to Jeff Bezos' sprawling NoMad penthouse, according to a mind-blowing video shared on TikTok.
A huge piece of wrapped furniture dangled from a rope as a crane last week slowly hoisted it above the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 26th Street, which was lined with caution tape, barricades, machinery and moving company trucks.

Dozens of workers milled about, directing traffic and joining passersby in watching as the item neared the top of 24-story 212 Fifth Ave., where Bezos reportedly owns five apartments spanning the top four floors worth $119 million.
Raffi Arslanian, the owner of luxury candle company Thompson Ferrier, caught the commotion on camera Saturday.
'You want to see how Jeff Bezos delivers his furniture? Let me show you,' said Arslanian, whose office is a block away.
'I think we all can relate to this,' he joked.
'Now back to reality, where, when we move, we get a U-Haul and we do it ourselves, or at best, we get a company to do it — but we don't close the street,' Arslanian quipped.
His video has garnered more than 970,000 views and thousands of comments, some speculating about what giant object the crane was transporting.

'It's a hot tub,' said one commenter.
A grand piano, suggested another.
Others were more interested in how much the operation cost.

Large-scale moves using cranes can cost upwards of $20,000 a day, according to reports, and require permits to shut down the streets.
'Amazon prime delivery, billionaire subscription,' one TikToker joked.
'We would all do the same if we had 100 billion dollars,' another remarked.
Bezos, worth an estimated $223 billion, according to Forbes, between 2019 and 2021 plucked up one unit after another in the former office tower overlooking Madison Square Park.

This niacinamide toner is gentle, pore-reducing and K-beauty's finest
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. If you're my clone and also a skincare enthusiast, you already know that when COSRX drops a product, the beauty world listens. One of the brand's hidden gems — the COSRX Niacinamide 2% + BHA 4% Blackhead Exfoliating Toner — is now on sale ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2025 (yes, that's on its way, taking place on July 8 to 11), and as someone who's tested hundreds, if not thousands, of beauty products over the years, I can confidently say: this one deserves your attention. Let's be honest: toners have a reputation for being the 'meh' step in skincare routines. After all, some people consider it the skip-me step, as your best cleanser tends to reign supreme. But this COSRX exfoliant flips the script. Advertisement Amazon It's formulated with 2% niacinamide, known for its sebum-regulating and brightening properties, and a potent 4% beta hydroxy acid (BHA)—a high enough concentration to unclog congested pores without over-stripping skin. The result is a daily-use exfoliating toner that leads to fewer blackheads when used consistently and clearer skin. After reviewing the lion's share of COSRX, this toner has that it-factor and is worth grabbing while it's nearly 30% off before Prime Day. It's one of the best Prime Day early deals the retailer is hosting right now. From the first use, I noticed how refined my skin felt. Not tight. Not overly exfoliated. Just balanced. That's the COSRX signature: high-performance actives that work in harmony, even for sensitive or acne-prone skin like mine. This isn't just another salicylic acid toner. COSRX has gone the extra mile with their ingredient list. The BHA here is salicylic acid derived from natural willow bark, which works to decongest pores and slough away dead skin cells with precision. Meanwhile, niacinamide does its multitasking magic: calming redness, refining texture and brightening dull spots. What really impressed me during testing is how well this formula works with my skin rather than against it. It's alcohol-free, fragrance-free and has a low pH, which makes it suitable for regular use on my sensitive skin. Trust me, I usually have to tread lightly with chemical exfoliants, but this one is so gentle, it *feels* like a moisturizer. Because it falls under the glass skin-producing product category of Korean skincare, it's one I regularly turn to for that dewy, well-hydrated look. Unlike some harsher BHA treatments I've tried in the past (and promptly shelved), this one keeps skin feeling balanced and fresh, not raw or sensitized. That makes it an ideal option for pretty much anyone. The bottom line With Amazon Prime Day just around the corner, this early deal on COSRX's Niacinamide + BHA Toner is worth jumping on. Whether you're battling blackheads, uneven tone or just looking for a gentle-yet-effective exfoliating step, this toner is a standout.

Apple Strikes Again, The MacBook Air 2025 Reaches a New Record-Low Price Once More
This is the lowest price ever for the new MacBook Air M4 on Amazon. Since its release in March this year, the MacBook Air M4 256GB has been diligently shaving dollars from its price every week on Amazon. What started at a $999 launch price soon fell to around $950, then $900, and even as low as $850 at certain point. And now, Amazon is selling this 256GB version in all color choices for a new all-time-low price of just $829 (17% off). And if that weren't enough, Amazon has also just dropped yet another all-time low price for the Mac Mini M4 from the same generation, so it's the perfect time to consider giving your desktop setup an upgrade as well. See at Amazon Best Value for Money Laptop At $829, the MacBook Air M4 is a valuable bargain. The cost is especially irresistible given the model's rugged qualities: a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, 16GB combined memory, and the lightning-fast Apple M4 chip. This is the kind of laptop that can easily toggle between intensive work tasks and creative work but still maintain a featherlight design that's so easy to carry anywhere. The M4 chip is optimized for performance and efficiency and allows you to multitask among demanding apps with lag-free performance. Apple Intelligence, Apple's new personal intelligence system, comes directly integrated into the device. This system is a productivity game-changer with intelligent suggestions and automation without sacrificing privacy. With battery life of up to 18 hours, MacBook Air M4 matches the pace of your most hectic days. You will also love the 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (one billion-color display!) which delivers vivid images that make photos come alive with deep contrast and detailed clarity. Text is very crisp and reduces eye fatigue during long reading or typing. The audio and video capabilities of the laptop are equally stunning: a 12MP Center Stage camera enables you to show yourself at your best in video calls. The laptop has also two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MagSafe port for charging, a headphone jack, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3 and gives users a wide array of port options to connect peripherals, external monitors or high-speed networks. It supports up to two external monitors which makes the Apple laptop suitable for work settings or entertainment settings. Backed by macOS, the MacBook Air M4 supports a wide range of apps including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Adobe Creative Cloud (like Photoshop, and more), and Google Workspace which all run smoothly and efficiently. For customers who already own an iPhone or other Apple devices, the MacBook Air M4 integrates easily and enables such features as iPhone Mirroring, universal clipboard, iMessage, and FaceTime. With Amazon's fresh price slash to $828 for the 256GB model, buying into this ultraportable monster is the perfect time. See at Amazon

Roborock Q5 Max+ Robot Vacuum Hits Its Lowest Price, 53% Off Deal Live Now as an Early Prime Day Offer
Amazon Prime members get all the best deals right now, with a massive 53% off of this incredible robot vacuum. You've had enough with vacuuming, and you should say it. In an ideal world, none of us would have to vacuum at all, but we're not there yet. The good news though, is that those of us who can afford it can escape the slog of vacuuming daily, and instead palm it off on an adorable disc-shaped friend in the form of a robot vacuum. They can be pricey though, so you'll generally want to make the most of deals when you can find them. See at Amazon Speaking of which, if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can currently get your hands on the exceptional Roborock Q5 Max+ robot vacuum and dock for just $280. That's a massive 53% off the normal price, and that's one heck of an early Prime Day deal. If you're not an Amazon Prime member, you can still save $100 on it right now too, but the difference in price is notable. Suck It Up There's a lot to love about this robot vacuum. The most obvious thing is the pure power of it. It has a 5500 Pa suction rating, which means it can not only handle all manner of floors, but also do so with aplomb, even managing to get out pet hair and other tough bits of small debris. It's just nice to know it can get the job done. It also uses LiDAR navigation to create a full 3D map of your home and then learn where it needs to go the most often to be as efficient as possible. The dock means it can self-empty too, which means you don't even need to do maintenance all that often, making it feel like an even bigger help compared to many other robot vacuums. That's the kind of off-hand greatness you need in a good robot vacuum. The battery life is impressive as well, lasting up to 240 minutes at once. You can even control it with your voice if you need to, or use the app if you'd rather. It just does everything you could want from a high-end robot vacuum, but for just $280. The discount is one of the big draws here, because saving yourself $320 (-53%) on a vacuum of this quality is a chance you shouldn't miss out on. Make sure you're quick if you do want it though, because there's no way of knowing how long the deal will last, and you'll be annoyed if you miss it. See at Amazon
