Napster founder and former Facebook president Sean Parker recently purchased the townhouse next to his current property for $16.5 million.

Located in the Greenwich Village neighborhood, Parker purchased a $20 million townhouse at 40 West 10th Street in 2011. Just recently, the social media maven snagged the next door property at 38 West 10th Street for nearly $17 million through a trust. 

It is projected that Parker is planning to combine the two properties to build an over-the-top Manhattan mansion. The new five-story townhouse is larger than his current piece of real estate, exceeding 6,126 square feet, and is constructed as an owner's triplex and six rental units which Parker currently rents out.

It must be a "Parker thing," since Sarah Jessica Parker recently purchased twin townhouses at 273 and 275 West 11th Street for $50 million.
