Well, thank you, Tropers.{{Tsims}} and Tropers.{{WaterBlap}}, for the pat on the back. :)

Going forward with the idea that a swanky midtown apartment dweller can also be the building's landlord or property manager:

[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* Characters/ReedRichards and the rest of the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' were able to secure the top five floors of the Baxter Building in Lower Manhattan.  Only 1½ floors are living space, while the rest are dedicated to laboratories and a repository of items too dangerous to go uncontained.  By the time that Creator/MarvelComics put Creator/JohnByrne on the title, Reed had purchased the entire building.  Though Reed is definitely not ostentatious, his growing family and GadgeteerGenius skills mean the Four rarely lack for appurtenances.

[[AC:Film]]
* Industrial magnate Eldon Tyrell from ''Film/BladeRunner'' occupies a plush suite within the massive industrial Tyrell Pyramid.  It's appointed with a subdued elegance: not quite Spartan, but clearly more functional than flashy.  This man is effectively married to his work.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* David Xanatos is usually the arch-nemesis to the ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', and hatches his {{XanatosGambit}}s from his penthouse suite, perched atop his corporate offices.  Xanatos likes to survey Manhattan from his towering perch, since he intends to make it all his personal domain.

Oh, and that part about childless: it kind of throws off the aesthetic if, say, Tony Stark has to tiptoe around a litter of [=LEGO=] bricks on the floor, and push aside [=MLP=] figures before sitting down.  Also, small, sticky handprints tend to monkeywrench the decor.  So, yeah, you might wanna de-children-ize your setting before trotting it out for display.
