By West Side Rag
Actress and comedian Amy Schumer is back on the Upper West Side.
Schumer purchased a three-bedroom apartment for $6.25 million on Central Park West in the upper 80s last year, the New York Post first reported on Tuesday.
Along with the bedrooms, the apartment features three-and-a-half bathrooms, large bay windows with views of Central Park, 2,215 square feet of space, and a gym located within the building. The property also has a full-time doorman, a live-in super, and the apartment has a full laundry room and powder room.
Schumer had moved to Brooklyn for a couple of years, but sold her Brooklyn Heights townhouse in 2024 for $11 million, before purchasing the new Upper West Side home. The real estate transactions also coincide with her divorce from chef Chris Fischer.
Schumer is no stranger to the neighborhood, having owned a penthouse on Riverside Drive, which she sold for $13 million in 2023, as well as a co-op on West 80th Street.

Will we ever escape this Schumer family
Is that supposed to be witty or are they actually bothering you?
It is kinda witty.
Will they ever escape you?
“For every blue collar ….”
But admittedly, I don’t think Chuck’s sins, which are many, are Ms S’s.
Are they even related?
Yes, they are cousins.
Any time they want.
There’s a big retirement community in Florida where you can live amongst people who share your politics and where you won’t suffer from people who are different.
It’s possible that NYC isn’t for you.
Will either of you ever have an Upper Westside apartment???
Ew. She’s a trainwreck, NOT FUNNY and has miserable politics
Is this a riff on her hit movie title “Trainwreck”?
That is absurd. She is a democrat who supports wonderfully worthy causes.
Why on earth are you name-calling? You are uninformed, and nasty!
That describes a good number of the people in this neighborhood. She’ll fit right in.
According to the new mayor’s staff, what she did is “white supremacy”. Not making this up:

Yup, Cea Weaver. To her home ownership = white supremacy. Rich kids play these games.
Mamdani appointed her. He got himself a crew of spoiled rich kids. Just like himself.
In the mamdani administration racism and antisemitism aren’t bugs, they are features.
All these gentrifiers!

Our neighborhood is not affordable and keeping it exactly as it is will make that worse not better.
Central Park West hasn’t been affordable since the 1960s…
I agree that the UWS is not what one would consider an “affordable” neighborhood (certainly on a national, or even a statewide basis). But what does that have to do with Ms. Schumer’s purchase? Are you suggesting that she should not have purchased a home that she can (presumably) afford just because the vast majority of New Yorkers could not? If not, what’s the point you’re trying to make in reference to the topic of this article?
The point is that multi-millionaires and billionaires are a failure of policy. They shouldn’t exist. Especially the white ones who flex their white supremacy in such ignominious ways. We, the proletariat, the people, should seize all their assets and give them to the rest of us – the bright future collectivism that will save our society. Then the much, much better, glorious new leaders we appoint should concentrate the assets in the hands of a few, the new nomenklatura, and create much, much “better” multi-millionaires and billionaires, and rock on.
Get on with the current program!
I’m not sure how much you know about Amy Schumer. She didn’t make her millions by exploiting blue-collar workers or laborers or by exporting jobs to Asia. She got rich by producing entertainment that Not. A. Single. One. Of. Us. is required to watch. I’m sorry (and honestly, kind of confused) if you believe that doing so flexes “white supremacy.” What about entertainers like Trevor Noah, Will Smith or Samuel L. Jackson, who got wealthy in pretty much exactly the same way as Ms. Schumer? Are they flexing “white supremacy”?
Of course she did! Did the lightning guy make millions too? Did the carpenter get a product endorsement deal? Did the make-up artist buy a CPW pad?
Kulaks of all stripes are the enemy of the people. Pure exploitation of the proletariat. I recommend stripping of all assets, banishment to a remote village in Louisiana, and ban of all kin from attending universities.
(P.S. I can do this all day, because… the bright future can’t be stopped)
The lighting guy didn’t invest $400,000 EVERY WEEK in the show so , NO, he didn’t earn as much.
Who, whoa, wha???
Just like Cuba. And they’re doing GREAT!
Who really cares?
People who think being successful is bad. Racists at city hall. The mayor’s advisor who thinks owning a home is bad and is white supremacy.
Mamdani’s new Housing Czar, Cea Weaver, does! She thinks private property should be abolished, the state should decide who gets to live where, and considers the very concept of private home ownership to be “white supremacy”. I’m not joking. She really does. Look it up.
Curious how all the vocal supporters of the new mayor who happen to own property on the UWS feel about this….
They think it doesn’t apply to them. These are the people who support defunding the police and complain when their car gets broken into on Riverside and want foot patrols to make the area safer.
The negativity in these comments is disappointing. Welcome back to the neighborhood, Amy! She’s a hilarious, successful woman, and I hope she enjoys her new home. We’re lucky to live among so much creative talent.
Home ownership is white supremacy. Does she pay her fair share of taxes? Aren’t white rich people bad?
It’s “disappointing” when free speech doesn’t align with your opinion, isn’t it? You’re not the only one who feels that way. Politicians and partisans feel that way too. They even have a name for it.
Lincoln towers?
I didn’t know she was divorced. That didn’t last long.
What’s she going to do with 2100 square feet and three bathrooms? A lot of people could live in that much space!
Please go ahead and alert Mamdani. He might force a few of our new arrivals there for rhe “warmth or collectivism”
