John Legend Drops The Price On His NYC Apartment

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

Singer John Legend has the same problem as many New Yorkers, a slow-selling apartment. His modest two-bedroom apartment in New York City's East Village has been on the market since late last year. Legend renovated the unit but is selling because the 1,105-square-foot condo doesn't offer him enough space. The apartment has a master bedroom suite that includes a walk-in closet, an open kitchen, built-in sound system and more. Legend was originally asking $1.245 million but recently dropped the price to $1.195 million.

The latest celebrity to open a restaurant is Bruce Willis. Willis, who was a bartender before he rose to fame, was also part of the Planet Hollywood restaurant chain. His new project is a partnership in Bowery Wine Co., a wine bar opening in the East Village area of New York City. The NY Post quotes owner Chris Sileo as saying that the new venue is upscale and loungy and will serve paninis, salads and desserts.

Many celebrities have gone into the restaurant business, some with limited success (remember Britney Spears's brief turn as restaurateur?). Many more however have added to their wealth by being a partner in a restaurant group or one restaurant. Check out the gallery below for a list of some of the successful celebs in the restaurant business.
