Looking at all these photos of Joan Rivers’ New York home, with mouth open (please tell me to close my mouth).
I decided not to keep the story to myself (got to share it with y’all).
Dripping with chandeliers and lined with gold, the limestone mansion was built in 1910 for society figure, John R Drexel and his socialite wife.
Joan Rivers found the lavish property in the 80’s, and she called in developers to strip away layers of paint and coat it gold.
Rivers’ living room ceiling scaled 30ft high, and velvet drapes framed the vast windows. And in every corner of the opulent New York apartment sit stacks of index cards with jokes spanning her entire career.
The 5,000 square-foot penthouse is held up by gold pillars.

| The New York Apartment lined with pillars and mirrors is a star of the city, valued at around $35million |
The late comedienne once described the Upper East condo as “Where Marie Antoinette would have lived if she had the money” . Chai! I’m literally drooling. *make I close my mouth before flies enter*
 |
| Elegant: The bedroom, complete with a four poster bed and lacy drapes and a permanent stock of fresh lillies. |
 |
| Never one to appear without a full face of make up, Joan had an extensive collection of eyeliner, lip liner, eyelash curlers and mascara in little silver pots. |
 |
| Tributes: Bouquets of flowers have been lain across the marble stairs outside the cast iron front door of the Manhattan apartment following Rivers’ death. |
May her soul rest in peace.
P.S
Bia, who said money is not good? Hian! Money answereth all things, if not all *strolls off*
