Call it the Midas touch: Casino magnate Richard Fields just flipped his three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath condo at 15 Central Park West for $27 million - twice what he paid for it a mere six months ago.

She may have been forced out as chief financial officer of Lehman Brothers, but Erin Callan appears not to have lost that golden-girl touch.

The global reach of Goldman Sachs Group, through a network of former officials, could help foster cooperation as U.S. officials reach out to foreign powers to calm financial markets. But it could also promote conflicts of interest.

Pity the masters of the universe who sank millions into trophy properties just before their companies collapsed. There are quite a few at this spectacular, new condo development on Manhattan’s Upper West side.
