Qatar’s filthy-rich prime minister has scooped up a palatial Beekman Place townhouse near the United Nations for $35 million — $15 million less than its asking price, sources said. But he’ll likely use it as a home for his country’s UN ambassador, and not for himself. Last year, Sheik Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al-Thani made headlines when he bought real-estate tycoon Aby Rosen’s East 71st Street party mansion for $47 million, but soured on the place because it didn’t have enough privacy or security for his wives, children and gun-toting security detail, reports The Post’s Jennifer Gould Keil. Then, he started shopping around Manhattan for a new pad, and has just landed the five-story, six-bedroom townhouse at 21 Beekman Place. But the prime minister — who is said to have a $200 billion investment portfolio in the city, including numerous real-estate holdings — won’t use it for his family, but for his country’s UN delegation. Brokers Paula Del Nunzio and Paolo Zampolli declined to comment to The Post on the deal.
