What does it cost to live like Harvey Specter?
Click through for the trappings of a very stylish life. -
Cars - $230,000
That’s definitely more than a subway ticket in the Big Apple, where Specter is known as ‘the best closer in town’. He pays handsomely to be a member of a car club that that allows him to take whatever he wants, whenever he wants it. We reckon he’d be a Porsche 911 man. And not the latest model, either. -
Suits - $35,000
You can’t turn up to a lawsuit in sweatpants. Harvey would have at least five bespoke suits from a haute couture designer at any one time. Rumour has it he favours Tom Ford suits, and mixes up a variety of high quality ties and shirts. Photo: USA Network -
Whisky - $2250
From Manhattan to the Orkney Islands, Specter has a taste for fine, reassuringly expensive single malt scotch; three bottles ought to do it. The Macallan 18 has been spotted in Harvey's drinks cabinet. -
Vinyl record collection - $5000
Charles Bradley, Lee Fields, Henry Ford – Specter’s soul collection is second to none, so you’ll need to dig deep and cast wide to accumulate a playlist to rival it. -
Private club membership - $25,000
Whether it’s courtside seats at the basketball, private business meetings, intimate dates, a round of golf or just avoiding a queue at the bar, Specter has VIP membership to private clubs across Manhattan. -
Autographed basketballs - $6000
The centrepiece of Specter’s office pays homage to his deep love of ball sports. All of his trophies are gifts from clients such as Michael Jordan, whom he also proclaims to be a friend. But if you want your own you'll need to pay handsomely. Photo: upperdeckstore.com -
Chauffeur - $100,000
Hailing cabs to court isn’t in Specter’s vocabulary. He travels from A to B in the style and comfort of the rear seat in a big, black Lexus. -
Watches - $640,000
Which self-respecting king of the courts wouldn’t have a selection of outstanding timepieces up his sleeve? But staying on time in style – with something like a gorgeous yet understated Patek Philippe for weekday court appearances and a perhaps more flamboyant Jaeger LeCoultre for the weekends – comes at a hefty price.

Three-bedroom New York upper Westside apartment - $15,000,000
Panoramic views of the city? Check. Short walk to everything important? Check. Self cleaning oven? Most probably. Digs like these don’t come cheap in the Big Apple, but if you want to slice some cost out of the overall package then this is the place to start. Photo: sothebysrealty.com -
Shoes - $18,000
Brandished leather, a rich patina and elegant Italian craftsmanship helps Specter walk the walk. He’d probably own 10 pairs at any time, and might choose from Bruno Magli, Salvatore Ferragamo and Moreschi. -
Shoes - $18,000
Throw in a pair of Tod’s driving shoes for weekend blats in the Porsche – of course. -
