Garrison Keillor returned to Minnesota in 1997, two years after marrying his third wife, Jenny Lind Nilsson. After their daughter, Maia, was born, Keillor purchased a home in St. Paul in 1998 for $710,000. Keillor still maintains a two-bedroom apartment on Central Park West, the same one he sold in 1993. He bought it for $800,000 in 1987, sold it for $1.5 million in 1993, and is buying it back for $3.5 million. Keillor told the New York Times: “I always sort of regretted selling. It’s a chance to recoup one’s regret.”
