Mariah Carey’s $27 Million Butterfly Tax Is Finally Here

Mariah is officially offloading her 12,000-square-foot Tribeca triplex. If you saw the 2002 MTV Cribs episode, you know this isn’t a home—it’s a museum of high-gloss anxiety and hairspray. Whenever an A-lister dumps a relic this famous, it’s because the cost of the legend finally beat the ego of owning it. I’ve seen this exact script played out at the Chateau; you lean into the 'iconic' butterfly decor to distract from the fact that a triplex is a logistical nightmare unless you have a staff of twenty living in your walls. Buying this doesn't make you an icon, it just makes you the owner of Mariah’s 20-year-old storage unit.
