Madonna has bought a Manhattan mansion with 13 bedrooms for $US40 million, the New York Post reported on Tuesday.
The paper noted that despite the high price tag, the 26-room mansion on the Upper East Side still shook from the nearby subway trains.
However, Madonna evidently overlooked this inconvenience in favour of having such rare New York amenities as a two-car garage, a 3,000sqm garden, nine fireplaces, an elevator, a wine cellar with a grotto, 13 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms.

The American Idol judge, Simon Cowell, who is known for his extravagant lifestyle, has recently got a personal tanning salon built in his 22 million dollar mansion so he can maintain the perfect bronzed appearance, the London Daily Mail reports.
Cowell, who is worth 188 million dollars, bought the property for $12 million nearly two years ago but razed the original structure to build his “dream home”.
Since then, Cowell has been busy renovating the two-storey mansion, and the most recent change in the mansion happens to be the installation of a solarium adjacent to the master bedroom with a full-length tanning machine and a smaller facial tanner.
