Charles Bronfman, one of the richest Canadians in business with a net worth of $2 billion, just sold his Fifth Avenue full-floor apartment to hedge fund manager and fellow Canadian David Goel, according to the New York Post.
The sale price was $19.9 million.
Bronfman inherited his significant fortune when his father left the Seagram wine and spirits empire to him and his brother Edgar. Since Vivendi bought Seagram for $34 billion in 2000, Bronfman has focused on philanthropy. He serves as one of the main benefactors for the Taglit-Birthright Israel, which sends Jewish youth from North America on educational tours of Israel.
The sixth-floor home Bronfman sold to Goel at 810 Fifth Avenue has views of Central Park, three bedrooms, four bathrooms and a library.
Serena Boardman at Sotheby’s International Realty handled the sale.

Is it just me or is the headline a tad ambiguous? I read the headline to mean reasons as to why victims should drop cases rather than reasons as to why the DPP wasn’t proceeding with a prosecution.
Exactly !
The DPP has had her budget cut, while her office has had to deal with more files. Telling complainants (or the emotional loaded term victims) that their evidence wouldn’t be accepted as credible, or that the prosecution would not be in the public interest, is fairly low on the priority list.
Divert some of the funding devoted to defending the criminal ..such as repeated free legal aid and problem solved. Easy !
Now your talking Michael. My 9yr old went through he’ll & back, case wasn’t passed. No reason & no victims support for him. Maybe get rid of flat screen tv’s & state of d art gyms from prisons & put money into DPP or funding for victims support.
That’s crap, they write to tell you case wasn’t passed so surly a couple of more sentences with the reasons as to why would not be costly
have your say
