==Legacy== [[File:LIBERACE O (14646033817).jpg|thumb|right|A Liberace pop-up exhibition at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas]] At the time of his death Liberace was said to be worth around $110 million and to have bequeathed $88 million to the Liberace Foundation.<ref>{{cite episode| title=Remembering Liberace| url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbMK3R770-Y| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211030/dbMK3R770-Y| archive-date=October 30, 2021| series=Larry King Live| series-link=Larry King Live| network=CNN| air-date=August 7, 2001}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The story was perpetuated by the officers of the Liberace Foundation often and as late as 2013. Only in 2015 did Liberace Foundation chairman Jonathan Warren reveal in a lecture at the [[Mob Museum]] in Las Vegas that these figures were all part of the showmanship of Liberace, and that the real figures were closer to one tenth of those amounts.{{citation needed|date=May 2022}} The Liberace Foundation saw the sunset of its in-house endowment fund in 2011. University endowment funds provided by it continue to offer scholarships annually. The original Liberace museum closed its doors in 2010, citing the recession and an outdated, outmoded facility. In November 2013, a dozen of Liberace's famous costumes, together with one of his stage cars and a piano went on display for a six-week period at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas in an exhibition titled "Too Much of a Good Thing Is Wonderful", Liberace's unofficial motto, and an often-used one-liner from his act. The exhibition was extended by seven months.{{citation needed|date=May 2022}}
