First world problems are laughable, because they're not really problems. But when you're stinky rich, even the smallest things become problems. This guy and his wife are selling their $32 million condo because it is so big that the couple keep getting lost in it.

The apartment is “just a little bit too spread out” for just for the two them, said Mr. Leaf, the 53-year-old founder of Cadogan Management, a fund of hedge funds that merged with Cantor Fitzgerald in 2011.
