If you’ve got an extra $20,000 a month lying around — and really, who doesn’t? — you’re in luck!

Kelly Bensimon, former star of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City,” is renting out her apartment in the Police Building at 240 Centre St., the New York Post reported. Occupying the fourth floor of the Beaux-Arts building, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom co-op unit is 2,600 square feet, with 17-foot ceilings and large windows. The owner is Bensimon’s ex-husband, photographer Gilles Bensimon.

Kelly Bensimon recently sold her Hampton beach mansion for $5.76 million, less than half the original $12 million asking price.

Sigh.

According to the Post, Douglas Elliman listing broker Steven Gold declined to comment.

Anne Cohen was the Forward’s deputy digital media editor. When she’s not looking for the secret Jewish history of Voodoo in New Orleans, or making lists about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she writes for The Assimilator. She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
