Joan Rivers To Host TV Land's "How You'd Get So Rich?"

Filed under: Wealth

Coming this summer: more guilty-pleasure TV! Joan Rivers will host TV Land's "How'd You Get So Rich?" There are still millionaires out there, and Rivers hunts them down and "leaves no stone unturned in getting to the story behind the moneybags who walk, or rather drive their Ferraris, among us. In this funny and engaging series, she searches the country to find out how wealthy people got that way and, more importantly, how they spend their money. It's an escapist fantasy and an inspirational tale for these tough times."

TV Land hints that those profiled are more likely to have made their money inventing products than through hedge funds or the market. Premieres August 5 at 10 p.m.

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.
