Joan Rivers’ $28 Million Penthouse from Manhattan is now for sale
Joan Rivers’ $28 million Penthouse masterpiece is located on East 62nd Street, Fifth Avenue, in a limestone mansion built in 1903, previously owned by Alice and John S. Drexel, the Gilded Age millionaires.
“Marie Antoinette would have lived if she had money.” said Joan Rivers in her documentary from 2010 : A Piece Of Work, while describing the lavishing decorated, 5.100-square-foot residence.
In 1930, this beautiful 2-foot-wide, seven-story mansion was converted into nine condominiums by the architect Horace Trumbauer. The famous writer Ernest Hemingway lived here for many years.
The “Queen of Comedy” first listed the apartment in 2009 and now, after Joan’s death in September her estate agency listed the apartment for sale at $28 million.
