NEW YORK — The family of a Russian billionaire has bought a New York City penthouse apartment for $88 million.

The seller was Sanford I. Weill, the former head of Citigroup Inc. It was bought by a trust for the daughter of Dmitry Rybolovlev (dih-MEE'-tree rih-bah-LOHV'-lehv).

Features of the apartment include a wraparound terrace.

The Journal says the sale generated nearly $2.5 million in city and state taxes.

The brokers' commission: about $3.5 million.

The deal closed on Wednesday.

Weill previously said he plans to donate the proceeds of the sale to charity.
