Check-Out Inside Joan Rivers' $35m Super-Luxury New York Home!

The comedienne, who died last week at the age of 81, once described the Upper East Side condo as 'where Marie Antoinette would have lived if she had the money'.
The 5,000-square-foot penthouse is held up by gold pillars. And in every corner of the opulent New York apartment sit stacks of index cards with jokes spanning her entire career.

Joan's living room ceilings scaled 30ft-high, and velvet drapes framed the vast windows.

 Dripping with chandeliers and lined with gold, the limestone mansion was built in 1910 for society figure John R Drexel and his socialite wife. Finally, in the 1980s, Rivers descended on the lavish property, called in developers to strip away layers of paint and coat it with gold.
