Karen Virginia Beckmann is making the most of owning a home at one of New York’s top addresses.

A U.S. company controlled by the Mexican heiress -- part of the billionaire family behind Jose Cuervo tequila -- got an $18.8 million, 30-year loan last month from Citigroup Inc. for a luxury condo at 432 Park Ave., filings show. A limited liability corporation she controls acquired the home in the 96-story tower three years ago for about $45 million, without a mortgage.
