35. Hugh Hefner wasn’t the only one who was interested in spending eternity next to Marilyn. Elsie Poncher, the widow of the man buried above Marilyn’s vault, sold her husband’s space for $4.5 million.
It seems a bit weird to make a huge profit off of selling your husband’s burial plot because of its proximity to Marilyn Monroe’s, but such is the world that surrounds legend. Even just the opportunity to be buried near her can fetch a large sum of money.
Make no bones about it: $4.5 million is a lot of money!
