Lee married Anna a year later. With Lee's death in February 1982, Anna inherited the Monroe estate.
Ms. Milstein, an heir to a wealthy real estate family, and Mr. Bank, a reality television producer, own the property next door and purchased the Monroe house last July for $8.35 million to combine the properties and expand their current home.
According to news reports, the new owner "Glory of the Snow Trust" is managed by "Andrew Sahure", however, the name appears to be a typographical error for "Andrew Schure." In September 2023, a Change.org petition started, asking the City to turn the home into a museum.

According to a new lawsuit, Milstein and Bank are now asserting that they have the right to demolish the famed home, claiming that city officials acted unconstitutionally in their efforts to designate the home as a landmark and accusing them of “backdoor machinations” in trying to preserve a house that doesn't meet the ...

Iconic American actor Marilyn Monroe lived and died in the same home in Brentwood. In 2023, the home's new owner was listed as Glory of the Snow LLC. It is a company managed by Dan Lukas, who is an Emerald Lake hedge fund manager, and his wife Anne Jarmain.
