 |
|
Los Angeles (E! Online) - Sadly, death pays in show business. And now it also costs extra.
That's what would-be renters of the three-bedroom SoHo loft where Health Ledger died are discovering. Instead of the already pricey $22,000 per month Ledger was losing to his landlord, the new tenant will have to fork over $26,000.
They've gotta be joking, right?
Apparently not, in the crazy world of Manhattan unreal estate. The unit above Ledger's, which was featured in the Drew Barrymore/Hugh Grant flick Music and Lyrics, rented for $70,000 per month.
We're sure that had the landlord whistling a happy tune, so he probably figured, Why not just tack on a paltry $4,000-a-month Bat bump? It's sad...and crazy. Kinda like the Joker, so at least it makes some sort of sense. |

| i feel so sorry for those tenants. i mean, $22 000 / month is reasonable, but 26 grand is over the top! |

| Anyone willing to pay $22,000 per month deserves to get hosed for another $4,000. Prices are only high because someone will pay it. If no one does, then the price goes down. Think, morons (not the readers here, the people who would pay that for an apt)! |
