4. The white baby grand piano that Marilyn had in her home when she was found dead was eventually auctioned off in 1999 for $662,500. Singer Mariah Carey was the bidder.
From one celebrity to the next! The gorgeous baby grand piano was an iconic piece of Marilyn Monroe’s possessions, so it’s cool that it’s still around and wasn’t thrown out after she passed away. That is a serious price tag, though!
Then again, that money was nothing but chump change for mega-star Mariah Carey in 1999! Those days, she was sitting firmly at the top of the pop star charts. It makes you wonder if she still owns the piano today, or whether she ended up selling it again. Anyone know the answer?
