That Manhattan has become land of the rich — you knew that already. But at a recent Symposium on Inequality at New York Law School, sociologist Andrew Beveridge, who's the co-founder of data site Social Explorer, revealed just how much: The borough now holds the distinction of being the "most unequal county" (of counties with more than 100,000 residents) in the country.

Not to harp on the topic, but we find ourselves back on the Mad Men real estate beat because this past Sunday's episode, Don's long-suffering broker named the selling price—$85,000 to be exact—and it was pretty shocking to hear a five-figure number attached to a Park Avenue penthouse. Last time we looked into it, similar spaces at the time were going for $191,000 and $526,500.

By now, you’ve probably heard about the cleaning guru that is Marie Kondo. A rock star figure in Japan, she’s credited with a revolutionary regimen — dubbed KonMari, a twist on her name — that will not only get your cabinets and drawers in shape, but apparently change your life. (She encapsulated her ideas in a New York Times bestseller, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up.) It’s gotten so that she’s spawned a network of sorts on YouTube, inspiring the creation of nearly 2000 videos, all in service of sharing the wisdom of KonMari with others.
