Singer brings in a construction crane to have her things removed from Manhattan condo

Because she has more stuff than some people could afford in an entire lifetime, Alicia Keys can’t use regular movers to vacate the Manhattan condo she recently sold for the whopping amount of $15 million (€11.5 million). 

So, instead, she hired a construction crane to get those things from the penthouse to the ground and en route to New Jersey, where she and baby daddy Swizz Beatz have just purchased a new home.

The photo above, which has recently gone viral, is of the construction crane at work.

“It's clear from the pics, Alicia’s a problem-solver,” TMZ writes. “Rather than have her stuff – which filled 6,000 square feet [557.41824 square meters] – lugged down stairs or elevators, she hired a crane (which can run over $1,000 [€771]/ day) to fast track her goods to the ground. Pretty baller.”

The penthouse previously belonged to Lenny Kravitz. The house Alicia is now moving in with her man and her son was Eddie Murphy’s until just recently.
