Gloria Vanderbilt's $50M childhood mansion for sale
The New York City mansion where fashion designer and socialite Gloria Vanderbilt spent her early years is up for sale with a $50 million price tag.
The 18,408-square-foot Upper East Side townhouse includes 12 bedrooms, 11 full bathrooms, three powder rooms and about 1,500 square feet of outdoor space, according to the listing with Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
Vanderbilt, who died from cancer at age 95 in June, was most famous for her popular jeans. She was also the great-great-granddaughter of Gilded Age railroad baron Cornelius Vanderbilt, as well as the mother of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. She inherited money from the famously wealthy family, but reportedly donated the vast majority of her estimated $200 million fortune.
The seven-story neo-Grec building features a sandstone front.
