Rich man, Portman

Richard Meier's transparent West Village tower at 165 Charles St. is losing much of its star power now that Natalie Portman has decided to move.

 

The diminutive, Oscar-nominated and Harvard-educated actress has put her convertible three-bedroom, three-bath apartment on the market with a $6.55 million asking price.

 

Featured in the 2,500-square-foot glassy residence are views in three directions that include the Hudson River and the park.

 

The "Star Wars" siren bought the unit in 2005 for $5.7 million, according to city records. Andy Fink and Nancy Teague of The Corcoran Group have the listing.

 

Coincidentally, the apartment just below Portman's is available for a possible duplex combo. The owner, travel-agency executive Michael Holtz, is selling a smaller two-bedroom, two-bath place with 22-foot ceilings for $5 million through broker Wilbur Gonzalez of Brown Harris Stevens.
