It is not surprising that Joan Rivers, upon the time of her death, was rich. She worked in Hollywood for 40-something years, and maniacally at that. But according to Us Weekly she was obscenely rich.

Per an "insider" who revealed details of Rivers' will, her daughter Melissa will inherit an estate worth over $100 million. $35 million of that comes from a "French-inspired" (what?) Manhattan condo, which isn't that surprising or interesting given the state of New York real estate. But another $75 million comes from cash. As in purely liquid, immediately spendable cash.

This fact seems to be glossed over by Us. Here is the exact relevant text of their story:

Melissa will inherit $75 million in cash and Joan's French-inspired $35 million condo on New York's Upper East Side, the insider tells Us.

No big deal. Just $75 million in cash. What?? Did Joan Rivers secretly work for Goldman Sachs?

Now, who knows if this number is actually correct. But even if Us was off by, say, a whole $25 million dollars, Joan Rivers still would have died with $50 million in the bank. Maybe I don't know a lot about money (I don't know a lot about money), but that's an extreme amount of cash for anyone, to say nothing of a comedian.

RIP Joan Rivers, you were very rich and didn't spend your money on dumb old cars. Very cool.
