What a view, The home is dubbed as the ’crown jewel’ of the luxury Brentwood neighbourhood

Living room, Monroe lived in the house for just six months before her untimely death

Given that Monroe memorabilia is highly coveted, the weighty price tag of the house comes as no surprise.

Even a burial spot near the star’s last resting place at LA’s Westwood Village Memorial Park was sold on the online auction website eBay in 2009 for a staggering $4.6million.

Monroe died on August 5, 1962, at the age of 36. Her death was classified as a ’probable suicide’ - but the possibility of an accidental overdose and even homicide have not been ruled out.
