In 2015, he put his Miami Beach, Florida mansion on the market for $16 million. In 2003, Klein bought an ocean-front estate in Southampton, New York, on Long Island and demolished it to build a $75 million glass-and-concrete mansion. After separating in 1996, they divorced in April 2006 after 20 years of marriage. She later became a well-known socialite photographer. In September 1986, Klein married his assistant Kelly Rector in Rome while they were on a buying trip in Italy. They have a daughter, television producer Marci Klein, who is best known for her work on NBC's Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. Klein married Jayne Centre, a textile designer, in 1964. He was hailed as the new Yves Saint Laurent, and was noted for his clean lines. He was immediately recognized for his talent after his first major showing at New York Fashion Week. He became a protégé of Baron de Gunzburg, through whose introductions he became the toast of the New York elite fashion scene even before he had his first mainstream success with the launch of his first jeans line. In 1968, he launched his first company with his childhood best friend, Barry K. He did his apprenticeship in 1962 at an old line cloak-and-suit manufacturer, Dan Millstein, and spent five years designing at other New York City shops. He attended the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan and was enrolled at, but never graduated from, New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, instead receiving an honorary doctorate in 2003. Klein went to Isobel Rooney Middle School 80 (M.S.80) as a child. Leo had immigrated to New York from Hungary, while Flore was born in the United States to immigrants from Galicia and Bukovina, Austria-Hungary (modern day-Ukraine). Klein was born on November 19, 1942, to a Jewish family in the Bronx, New York City, the son of Flore ( née Stern 1909–2006) and Leo Klein. In addition to clothing, he also has given his name to a range of perfumes, watches, and jewellery. Calvin Richard Klein (born November 19, 1942) is an American fashion designer who launched the company that later became Calvin Klein Inc., in 1968.
