#5- White Piano: $662,500
As you saw during this top, Marilyn loved music and loved to sing. One of her cherished items is a white piano which sold for $662,500.
The piano belonged to Marilyn’s mother, which is understandable why she loved it so much.
After her mother passed away, the piano was sold together with some of her personal items. But Marilyn wanted to have the piano so much that she tracked it down until she finally bought it back.
On the first chapter of her posthumously published autobiography we can see the title “How I Rescued a White Piano”, which stands as proof to her attachment to the instrument.
The white piano was auctioned by Christie’s in 1999, and was purchased by artist Mariah Carey for $665,500.
