York home. 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

layers of paint and coat it with gold.
Joan's living room ceilings scaled 30ft-high, and
velvet drapes framed the vast windows. 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.
The comedienne, who died last week at the age of 81,

Marie Antoinette would have lived if she had the
money'. Scroll down to see more photos. And you

drool and tell. *winks
