We’re willing to hedge a bet that <bold>Jeremy Jacobs, Sr.</bold>’s estimated $4 billion fortune was something of an asset when going before the board, which is known for being excessively selective with applicants who don’t meet its strict liquidity requirements. Though River House has somewhat mellowed with its strict rules in recent years, even heiress Gloria Vanderbilt was famously rejected by the co-op board in the '80s—Ms. Vanderbilt promptly accused the board of racism, as she was dating Bobby Short at the time.
The 10-room pad at <bold>435 East 52nd Street</bold> is not the only thing Mr. Jacobs (who is also the chairman of Delaware North) has tried to buy as of late—he made known his interest in purchasing the Buffalo Bills.And of course, Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs will be in good company—neighbors in the building include Uma Thurman and Henry Kissinger.</p></content><headline>Boston Bruins Owner Jeremy Jacobs Passes River House Co-op Board to Buy $10.3M Perch</headline><byline>Morgan Halberg</byline></article>
