15 Wild And Outrageous Celebrity Purchases That Confirm We Should Eat The Rich
1.Ben Affleck once said he purchased "a toilet seat for my girlfriend." It was reportedly worth $105K and featured sapphires, rubies, pearls, and a diamond — though Jennifer Lopez publicly denied it.
2.Nicolas Cage paid a whopping $276K for a dinosaur skull. He later found out the artifact was stolen and had to return it to the Mongolian government.
During a GQ interview, he said, "I bought it legally. Here's the MacGuffin: When the Mongolian government said they needed it back, I gave it to them, but I never got my money back. So, somebody at the auction house should be in jail."
3.Nicolas also bought two European castles. One cost $2.3 million, and the other cost $10 million.
4.Lady Gaga reportedly paid about $50K for a ghost detector. Apparently, she's afraid of evil spirits and has her hotel rooms scanned for paranormal activity.
5.Drake paid $395K for the Grand Vividus bed by Hästens (a fifth-generation, family-owned Swedish bed-maker popular with celebs). The bed features horsehair, weighs nearly half a ton, and took about 600 hours to make. Drake told Architectural Digest that "the bed lets you float."
6.Kendall Jenner spent $52K on a couch. On her old blog, she said the knotted, blue-and-purple sofa was "all woven and a really groovy navy with purple shimmer. It works perfectly in the space!"
7.David Beckham bought his wife, Victoria, a Napa Valley vineyard for her birthday that reportedly came with a seven-figure price tag. That's quite the ~posh~ birthday gift.
