Naturally, because Jon Stewart is a god of comedy, his real estate transactions include a dose of wit. The LLC that shielded the sale of the Tribeca combo he just offloaded for $17.5 million is called the Stanley Monkey Trust, a name that comes from his pets: the former is a cat and the latter is a pitbull terrier. Though the 5,802-square-foot duplex penthouse at 161 Hudson Street was never publicly on the market, old listings show the penthouse loftwhich has 40 windows, three exposures, a 600-square-foot private terrace and a 1,200-square-foot roofas it was when Stewart first bought it. The Daily Show host walked away with a pretty hefty chunk of change, seeing as how he bought combined units 9A and 8B back in 2005 for a mere $5,800,000. That's a 201.1 percent profit.
