Joan Rivers Selling Upper East Side Penthouse for $25 Million
By: Diane Tuman, Zillow Content Manager | June 21, 2009
Located in Manhattan’s Upper East Side “in one of the East Sixties grandest limestone mansions,” is entertainer Joan Rivers’ penthouse condo, which is listed for $25 million, according to Big Time Listings. Although the condo address is not disclosed, Big Time says the property is located at 1 E. 62nd Street (off Fifth Avenue, in the Lenox Hill sub-neighborhood).
According to the Sotheby’s listing, the “…penthouse aerie (”nest”)” has a doorman (of course), is located steps from Central Park (naturally) and was designed by America’s greatest classical revivalist, Horace Trumbauer in the neo-French Classic style (magnifique!). The 42-foot wide mansion was built for Alice Troth Drexel in 1903. (Yes, those Drexel’s).
So, why is Joan selling? According to the NY Times, she wants to move closer to her daughter, Melissa and grandson who live on the West Coast. Joan recently won the 2009 version of The Celebrity Apprentice, even beating out her daughter.

Joan should give Donald Trump first option. This looks like his style, except that it’s not quite gaudy enough…

Maybe she’ll sell it to Annie Duke. “You’re a Pohkah Playah Dahling, a Pohkah Playah!”

A condo for $25,000,000?? The real reason she wants to sell it is the booming bass sounds throbbing through the common walls from her neighbor’s big-buck stereo systems.
No amount of glitter will change a glorified apartment into a decent home.

I met you once at an engagement in Lake Tahoe. You were simply lovely and very well mannered. I love my daughter also. I’m sure being with her and your grandson will make every day more special for all of you. I think you are fabulous, funny, and look much younger than your 75 years! Hooray for you, I’m one of your biggest fans, and I’m not gay so you see your fan base isn’t all gay heterosexuals love you too.

Joan is a disgusting individual. I will never have anything good to say about her. I watched the Celebrity Apprentice and I lost all of the little respect I had for her. She was childish, crude, rude and sickened me to even watch the show. I do not even want to talk about the butchered face and her perma-grin that makes her look like “The Joker”. Her and her trashy daughter should do the world a favor and disappear for good.
