Kelly Ripa: ~ $27 Million, New York

Kelly Ripa’s most notable role was appearing in the ABC daytime soap opera, All My Children, but it had always been her dream to become a television newscaster.  A dream that became a reality with her being selected to host Live! with Regis and Kelly, when she replaced Kathie Lee as Regis Philbin’s co-host. Now she’s very successful, leading her own show, Live! with Kelly and Ryan.

Some of the many luxuries she enjoys, all thanks to her successful TV career, are three real estate properties, a house in Telluride, CO, a house in Southampton, NY, and this $27 million townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.  The 7,796 square foot, 5 story gorgeous home is the one her family lives in, with the other two being their getaway homes.
