Going, going gone! That was the sentiment that ultimately rang true over the weekend for buyers who cashed in on Wendy Williams’ lavish New York City condo.
Per the New York Post, the once $4.5 million home was sold for $3.75, a sharp decrease of nearly $830,000. The 2,400 square foot, three bedroom-three bathroom home boasted finishes you would expect in a luxury NYC penthouse like Miele appliances, a five fixture bath with marble accents and more. Additionally, the building she’s in includes a variety of splendid amenities such as: a fitness center, water club featuring a 60-foot lap pool, a steam room, jacuzzi and sauna.
The decision for the eponymous daytime talk show host to part ways with her home was decided upon by her guardian after Williams was deemed “incapacitated” in relation to her Grave’s Disease diagnosis, aphasia lymphedema and dementia. It also comes as a result of the federal tax lien in which Williams allegedly owes more than half a million dollars in taxes. Hopefully, with the recent news that her ex Kevin Hunter may soon be paying back some of the alimony money he received, Williams can find herself an equally comparable nice home sooner rather than later.
According to a source close to Williams, the sale of her condo isn’t an ideal situation.
“Wendy’s dream has always been to live in Manhattan in a dream apartment but never got a chance to do so. It is a very unfortunate situation,” they told the outlet.
Additionally, Williams has also had to sell off nearly of her personal belongings including her iconic “Hot Topics” purple chair from her popular show.
