At one time or another we’ve all heard about how much money celebrities have been paid. We’ll hear that Brad Pitt made $50 million dollars for acting in a movie, or Taylor Swift was paid a billion dollars for a thirty second commercial and we’ll think to ourselves, “What in the world could they possibly do with all that money?!!?” Well here is the answer to that!
Paris Hilton bought a 300 square foot, two story dog villa for her dogs to live in. Doesn’t that kind of go against the reason you have dogs? And if you’re Paris Hilton, couldn’t she have gotten them their own hotel suite?
Lady Gaga spent $50,000 on a “ghost detector” that is brought with her whenever she tours. Look, you know I’m all in on ghosts and stuff, and I’ve got some of the equipment that you see on TV, but none of it is worth $50,000. You can get a nice Spirit Box at GhostStop for just $95. Honey, haven’t you ever heard of shopping around?
As you know from Johnny’s divorce hearing, the man does like his “mega-pint” of wine. Apparently he spends $30,000 a month on wine. Let’s do the math. We can assume he has expensive taste when it comes to wine. Assuming he buys bottles of wine that cost $500, $30,000 adds up to 60 bottles of wine per month. Amber Heard might have a point about his drinking problem.
Bono bought a $1500 plane ticket just to get his hat that he left behind sent to him. I hate to break it to you Bono, but that hat is not worth $1500. Go back to the thrift shop where you found it and get one for $4.
Justin Bieber had his car turned into a Batmobile for a cool $100k. As much as I think J Beebs is a complete asshat, I think I’d do the same thing if I have an extra 100k laying around.
Several celebrities have bought tickets to outer space. No, not Disney’s Space Mountain, but to the real outer space. About 6 years ago Virgin Atlantic owner Richard Branson was selling celebs $200,000 tickets for a ride to outer space that might occur in the future. Celebs who have bought a ticket include: Tom Hanks, Angelina and Brad, Stephen Hawking, Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber. Hmm… I wonder if that Stephen Hawking ticket is up for grabs now?
Nick Cage, one of the greatest actors of our time, once outbid Leo DiCaprio for a tyrannosaurus skull. His skull winning bid was $270,000. Sounds to me that there were at least two empty skulls in that room.
Kim Kardashian bought Louis Vuitton trash cans? I don’t know the price, but whatever it was, it was too much. When she divorced Kanye did she think of it as “taking out the trash”?
I may not be a celebrity, but this cool sugar skull was my splurge purchase at Disney World.
With enough research, I could go on and on finding more idiotic things celebrities have bought, but I didn’t have the stomach for it. You get the gist, celebs are weird. I hope you have a great Tuesday and after reading this, you definitely shouldn’t feel bad about splurging on something you want. ~Phil
