<p id=”par-4_36″>In 1999, Carey purchased two apartments at 90 Franklin Street–a $5.5 million penthouse and the $3.5 million unit below it–and combined them into one triplex. She worked with interior decorator Mario Buatta to design the space. </p>
<p id=”par-5_54″>The three-floor apartment boasts eight bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and three half bathrooms. It features a grand foyer, limestone and bronze-plated floors, and a Turkish-style banquette large enough to host a dinner party. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/tall-marilyn-monroe.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Marilyn Monroe</a>‘s white baby grand piano, which Carey purchased at auction for over $600,000–occupies a prime spot in the living room. </p>
<p id=”par-6_31″>Some of the home’s other amenities include panoramic windows with clear views of the Manhattan skyline, a gym, a movie theatre that doubles as an aquarium, and a large rooftop terrace.</p>
<p id=”par-7_32″>“Out here, you can see the Empire State Building,” Carey said about the terrace, <a href=”https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/mariah-carey-new-york-penthouse-sale-mtv-cribs/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>per Realtor.com</a>. “When I was little, I always wanted a penthouse apartment in New York with a view like this.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_44″>According to the listing description, “The residence [is] defined by scale, light, and flexibility. [It] spans the top three floors of one of downtown Manhattan’s most sought-after addresses, offering over 12,700 square feet of interior space [and] 1,100 square feet of private outdoor space.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_39″>The penthouse is being sold as one unit. However, the description adds that there is an opportunity for a “developer or design-minded buyer” to separate it back into two separate apartments, noting that the “16th floor can function independently.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_18″>Carey invited cameras into her Manhattan residence again in 2017 for a peek at her massive closet. </p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-carey-s-rented-mansions”>Carey’s rented mansions</h2>
<p id=”par-11_15″>Carey has been known to rent properties on the West Coast from time to time.</p>
<p id=”par-12_60″>She sold her Bel-Air estate that she shared with ex-husband <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/nick-cannon-claimed-broke-vote-2016-election.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>NickCannon</a> in 2015, and when she began seeing Australian billionaire James Packer, they leased a Mediterranean-style home in the gated Oaks community in Calabasas for $250,000 per month. The 18,000-square-foot estate sat on one acre of land and featured six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a movie theater, sauna, and home gym. </p>
<p id=”par-13_82″>After their split, the “Touch My Body” songbird leased a 10,300-square -foot Beverly Hills abode with eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The Mediterranean-style home was reportedly once rented by Carey’s foe Nicki Minaj as well, for $35,000 a month. It has a grand entryway, high ceilings, open-plan living and dining rooms, an eat-in kitchen, and an expansive family room with plenty of windows. French doors lead outside to a massive space complete with an outdoor kitchen, terraces, and a swimming pool and spa.</p>
