A stretch of Fifth Avenue was closed for a massive delivery to Jeff Bezos’ sprawling NoMad penthouse, according to a mind-blowing video shared on TikTok.
A huge piece of wrapped furniture dangled from a rope as a crane last week slowly hoisted it above the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 26th Street, which was lined with caution tape, barricades, machinery and moving company trucks.

Dozens of workers milled about, directing traffic and joining passersby in watching as the item neared the top of 24-story 212 Fifth Ave., where Bezos reportedly owns five apartments spanning the top four floors worth $119 million.
Raffi Arslanian, the owner of luxury candle company Thompson Ferrier, caught the commotion on camera Saturday.
“You want to see how Jeff Bezos delivers his furniture? Let me show you,” said Arslanian, whose office is a block away.
“I think we all can relate to this,” he joked.

“Now back to reality, where, when we move, we get a U-Haul and we do it ourselves, or at best, we get a company to do it — but we don’t close the street,” Arslanian quipped.
His video has garnered more than 970,000 views and thousands of comments, some speculating about what giant object the crane was transporting.

“It’s a hot tub,” said one commenter.
A grand piano, suggested another.
Others were more interested in how much the operation cost.

Large-scale moves using cranes can cost upwards of $20,000 a day, according to reports, and require permits to shut down the streets.
“Amazon prime delivery, billionaire subscription,” one TikToker joked.
“We would all do the same if we had 100 billion dollars,” another remarked.
Bezos, worth an estimated $223 billion, according to Forbes, between 2019 and 2021 plucked up one unit after another in the former office tower overlooking Madison Square Park.
