It could be an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. A woman named Denise Rich is listing her Fifth Avenue penthouse for a whopping $65 million -- making it, as Bloomberg reports ...
“The most expensive co-op in New York City. The 12,000 sq. ft. duplex has 19 rooms. The New York Post quotes Rich as saying she doesn’t need all that space anymore just for one woman.”
And Fox Business explains Rich’s rich history. She’s ...
“The ex-wife, by the way, of President Clinton pardonee Mark Rich -- the guy who invented the spot market for oil. It includes seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms … three kitchens, a library, a full gym, and just for good measure -- its very own recording studio.”
“You know what that’s called? Real estate porn.”
The pricey pad also has a grand salon and a formal dining room that seats 22. There are three outdoor spaces -- one holds 200 people. Another Rich once turned into an ice-skating rink just for a party. And then there’s the wraparound terrace with views of Central Park. But while Rich’s ex-husband might be well-known, The New York Post reports she’s famous in her own right -- Rich is a Grammy-nominated song writer.
“Rich … penned the lyrics to such hits as the Aretha Franklin-Mary J. Blige duet, ‘Don’t Waste Your Time,’ and Mandy Moore’s ‘Candy’ … Stevie Wonder has tickled the ivories of her baby grand piano … and Celine Dion has sung in the apartment’s personal recording studio.”
Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder -- just having a few friends over.
