The economy must be bad if people are willing to pimp out spots next to their famous dead spouse in order to make some fast cash. A crypt above Marilyn Monroe's own crypt has been put ip for sale, and looking at from a per square foot view it's one of the most expensive places on the real estate market!
According to L.A. Times, Richard Poncher, deceased entrepreneur owns the grave above Monroe. His widow has placed the crypt on sale to pay off the $1.6 million mortgage she owes on her Beverly Hills home. The asking price for the crypt you may be wondering... a astonishing $4.5 million!
Poncher's wife placed the crypt for sale on Ebay. In the ad she writes, "Here is a once in a lifetime and into eternity opportunity to spend your eternal days directly above Marilyn Monroe... [It] is being vacated so as to make room for a new resident." Poncher claims she wants be debt-free when she dies for her children. So is the sale of the crypt is inappropriate or genius? You be the judge.
