MetaCity's Most Expensive Penthouse — Sold for 14.2 Million MetaCoins — Has Been Physically Located Inside Another User's Bathroom Since 2023 and the Bathroom Owner Is Charging Rent

Sky Pinnacle Unit 1, the most expensive residential listing in MetaCity history, was sold in February 2023 for 14.2 million MetaCoins. Coordinates appeared valid at time of purchase. It was not until a routine server migration audit in March 2026 that anyone noticed: the penthouse has been embedded inside user @grotto_vic's apartment bathroom since its purchase date, occupying the upper-left corner above the towel rack. @grotto_vic confirmed he noticed it in 2023 but assumed it was 'part of the bathroom.' He has been charging the penthouse owner 600 MetaCoins a month in what he calls 'proximity rent.' The penthouse owner has been paying it. Both parties describe the arrangement as 'fine, actually.'

Sources inside the platform have confirmed that what began as a minor technical anomaly rapidly spiraled into one of the most-discussed incidents in metaverse entertainment this year.
