Forbes' former townhouse is located in Greenwich Village at 11 West 12th Street. In a 2018 Property Shark report, the Village was ranked the 8th-most expensive neighborhood in New York City.

The six-level townhouse was originally built in 1847. Malcolm Forbes bought the townhouse in the early 1960s and, according to The Wall Street Journal, he used it "purely" to host parties and visiting celebrities.

After being sold to developers back in 2012, designer Paris Forino was brought in to style the 9,000-square-foot townhouse.

In June 2019, it was sold for $19.9 million to J. Carey Smith, founder of "Big Ass Fans."

The great room boasts 22.5-foot-high ceilings and a gas fireplace.
