Jennifer Aniston buys Manhattan penthouse in pet dog`s name

Jennifer Aniston has bought a luxury New York penthouse in her dog's name, according to reports.

The Just Go With It star reportedly inked a deal to purchase three separate units in a building in Manhattan's trendy West Village neighbourhood last month.

Now it has emerged that the 42-year-old actress bought the property for a reported $4.95m using the name of her beloved corgi-terrier mix, Norman.

Property records reveal the apartments were formally purchased by Norman's Nest Trust.

Aniston's business manager, Bruce Lagnese, is also a signee on the mortgage documents.

The 1200sq ft penthouse, which previously belonged to celebrity hairdresser Sally Hershberger, is on the 18th floor of the building and boasts views of the Empire State Building. It also has an 800sq ft terrace that overlooks New York Harbour, but has just one bedroom and one bathroom.

As well as the penthouse, the former Friends star snapped up two other small units on the 17th floor of the building. It is thought that she will combine all three units to make one sprawling duplex apartment.
