Wide-Eyed Tales from Kimora and Russell Simmons' Epic Yard Sale
The lavish New Jersey mansion once home to Kimora Lee Simmons and her ex-husband Russell has been sold. But first they're having a yard sale! It includes Warhol paintings, $20,000 bronzes, fur coats, and a $200,000 bed.
The divorced hip-hop power couple's Saddle River, NJ mansion—which has been featured in MTV Cribs and Kimora Lee: Life in the Fast Lane—was sold last month for $13.9 million. (That was down from the original price of $23.8 million.) This weekend, scavengers are invited to pillage the unbelievably luxe 10-bedroom mansion in the New Jersey yard sale to end all yard sales. Among the loot for sale:
- Warhols paintings
- "A bed once owned by slain clothing designer Gianni Versace is selling for $200,000. The pillow is $2,000," according to the AP
- $100,000 painting by Faith Ringgold
- Dog carriers by Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana
- $20,000 brass lions to flank your front door
- Leopard-print doggie bed
- Skeleton statue.
- $7500 Versace chairs.
- Fur coats, including a pink one.
- $3 coffee mugs
One seventeen-year-old Kimora fan, who drove in from Pennsylvania, describes the yard sale's appeal:
She was an original—before The [Real] Housewives of New Jersey. There are wonderful things inside. I saw a pink fur. I was told I had to pay cash. I wish I knew that... I'm most likely coming back.
