Alec Baldwin faces backlash over 'too small' $16M NYC penthouse

Alec Baldwin has sparked significant backlash after expressing that his 4,137-square-foot New York City penthouse feels 'too small' for his family of nine, which includes his wife Hilaria and their seven children. During the premiere of their TLC reality series 'The Baldwins,' Baldwin lamented about the cramped living conditions, despite owning a property valued at $16 million. Critics took to social media, labeling his complaints as tone-deaf and out of touch, highlighting that many families live in significantly smaller spaces. Viewers noted the irony of his situation, with one commenter sarcastically remarking on the privilege of having so much space yet feeling it is inadequate. Baldwin's comments have ignited discussions about wealth disparity, particularly in the context of New York City's housing challenges. The couple has been expanding their real estate portfolio since their marriage in 2012, purchasing multiple units in the same building to accommodate their growing family.
