Lloyd Blankfein (Lloyd Blankfein news) and Jamie Dimon (Jamie Dimon news) have seen their reputations move in opposite directions over the course of the financial crisis. Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has emerged even more powerful, while Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, has seen his reputation sullied horrifically.

But they are alike in this: They both want to unload some pricey real estate at a loss.

So who says they haven't been forced to personally suffer like everyone else? Blankfein had a tough time selling his Park Avenue duplex, which eventually sold to a Goldman alum for $12 million after initially listing at $15 million last year. It's unclear how much Blankfein originally paid for it, but he likely booked a capital gain. His latest pad is a $26 million duplex at 15 Central Park West, Manhattan's hottest new apartment building at the time.

As for Dimon, he recently listed his lux eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms Chicago home. The asking price was a mere $9.5 million, down from $13.5 million a few years ago. Yet it'll turn a nice capital gain for him, as he paid $4.68 million in 2000. It will still be a tough sale.
