Joan Rivers Is So Rich . . .

| January 28, 2010

. . . and there is no punch line. The 76-year-old queen of comedy is the richest woman I know in all the ways that truly count. Let’s count a few of them. She lives like Marie Antoinette, only better, because her opulent apartment is in Manhattan and yeah, she’s still living. She is a completely devoted mother and doting grandmother. She is the hardest-working woman in show business. She’s a jewelry designer and CEO. No one can keep up with her pace. And this week this rich funny lady is the subject of a new documentary debuting at the Sundance Film Festival, fittingly titled Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work. She is just that and so much more.
