A penthouse at the ultra-luxury One57 tower was sold for $36 million on Wednesday, in the most expensive foreclosure auction in New York City history.

Unit No. 79 atop 157 W. 57th St. drew five bidders in addition to the bank. The winner declined to be identified, according to Bloomberg News.

The Billionaire’s Row unit was purchased for $50.9 million in 2014 by a shell company linked to Nigerian businessman Kolawole Akanni Aluko. It was seized when he failed to pay the mortgage.

The auction had been scheduled for July, but was postponed after a creditor said Aluko owed $83 million for gasoline and jet fuel.

He is the target of a federal civil action, accusing him of money laundering and bribery involving Nigeria’s state-owned oil firm.
