CNN anchor Anderson Cooper has got some new digs in Connecticut, according to a report from the New York Post.
The Post reports Cooper paid between $5 and $9 million for the historic Rye House, a 10,000-plus square foot manor in Litchfield designed by noted architect Wilson Eyre and built in 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
Cooper was born on June 3, 1967, in New York City, the younger son of the writer Wyatt Emory Cooper and the artist, designer, writer, and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt. His maternal grandparents were millionaire equestrian Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt and socialite Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, and his maternal great-great-great-grandfather was Cornelius Vanderbilt of the prominent Vanderbilt shipping and railroad fortune. He is also a descendant, through his mother, of Civil War brevet Major General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick, who was with General William T. Sherman on his march through Georgia
