Rhode Island Manion, Paid For in Full, With Cash

Year: 2013

Price: $17.8 Million

Before Taylor ventured into the Tribeca real estate market, she made a noteworthy investment on the East Coast. A year prior to acquiring her initial Tribeca penthouses, Taylor spent a substantial $17.8 million on a property in Rhode Island.

What’s even more remarkable is that she paid for it in full, with cash. No mortgages were needed for this singer, thanks to her numerous Grammy awards and platinum hits, which gave her the financial capacity to part with nearly $18 million in hard currency.
