Mariah buys Marilyn Monroe's piano, again?
Today, the big news was that Mariah paid $662,500 for a piano owned by Marilyn Monroe, because she identifies so closely with the legendary star. Mariah supposedly splurged on the piano at a Christie's auction featuring Monroe's memorabilia and put it in her newly remodeled penthouse in New York City.
Well, this is very old news. Mariah already bought Marilyn's piano in October 1999. Mariah explained, "I wish her things didn't have to be auctioned off. It's a shame - I wish somebody had had the money to buy it all, and put it in a museum."
Since nobody did, Carey "made sure" she wasn't outbid on "the most sentimental item" on the block. "That piano was her mom's," Mariah said. "In her biography there's a whole story about how Marilyn spent years trying to find it and get it back. Now I'm gonna take good care of it." Ultimately, she adds, "it will end up in a museum."
