Joan Rivers In New York City, Estate of the Day
It's finally happened, Joan Rivers is selling her New York City penthouse. Rivers bought her duplex condominium about 20 years ago in a converted 1903 mansion on East 62nd Street just off Fifth Avenue in New York City. The NY Times Big Deal column reports that Rivers restored the home including the double-height ballroom which now serves as the tremendously ornate living room shown above. The baroque room is embellished with gilded molding and a sky-painted ceiling. The three-bedroom penthouse includes a south-facing terrace with views of Central Park. Things get a little bit more subdued in the library and a bit more suited to the comedian and jewelry line pitchwoman with a large tufted leather sofa and a leopard print rug. Rivers, who reportedly is moving to California to be closer to her daughter, also owns a home in Litchfield County, Connecticut. The penthouse is listed at $25 million.

How can such a mediocre entertainer....
no offense...
afford to live in such a lap of luxury?
I guess it is...
who you know.
However, my soul is worth...
more than that.

It appears she has a better interior designer than plastic surgeon.........
BTW, does she still have an even glitzier place in Vegas?

I think this is pretty spectacular, and befits who she is. It's not for everyone, but it's good for a lady. Very fine stuff and tasteful, even with all the gold and swags and tufts.

I absolutely love Joan Rivers. Its her money and however she wants to spend it is her business. Hell, if I had her money, I'd probably buy a home and decorate it and alot of people would hate the way I did it which is fine, to each his own.
