Martha Stewart – From a House in Nutley to a $5.8-Million Mansion
Martha Stewart has a reputation as a privileged domestic goddess, so some may find it surprising to learn that she grew up in a relatively simple house in suburban Nutley, New Jersey. After making a fortune in the stock market, Stewart began to cultivate her crafty and culinary hobbies, eventually turning her name into a valuable brand.
No longer a Jersey girl, Martha now owns a large number of estates that include a stately $5.8 million mansion in isolated Seal Harbor, Maine. She is now seventy-eight years-old and her fortune is estimated at around $638M, as of 2011. Once a prominent TV face, Martha was somewhat away from the spotlight in the past decade or so.
