1. Justin Bieber: Custom-Made Gold Grillz
Purchasing grillz—a decorative tooth accessory—is not a novel concept in the world of Hollywood, but it is still somewhat of a novelty. However, Justin Bieber later spent $5,000 on a gold grill for a Halloween costume. Bieber enlisted Ben Baller of If & Co. jewellery to create the gaudy piece. Indeed, that did occur in 2013, when he was still a young toddler. If you’ve ever wondered why young celebrities spend so much money, it’s because they purchase items like these.
2. Miley Cyrus: Hair Extensions
Considering his $160 million net wealth, $24,000 for hair extensions doesn’t seem like a lot, does it? Miley used to wear hair extensions all the time when she was 17. Her devoted followers are aware that her extensions cost a lot of money. Her finest-quality $24,000 imitation hair was transported in by air from Italy. To guarantee that the extensions matched her hair, experts had them coloured.
3. Daniel Radcliffe: A Mattress
Daniel Radcliffe has an estimated net worth of $110 million, and it appears that he did not want to sacrifice his sleep. The Harry Potter actress spent $17,000 on an item that most people would consider needless. Although a mattress is undoubtedly a vital home item, you wouldn’t assume that investing this much money is entirely needless. In any case, the star is wealthy, so he didn’t hesitate to buy a luxuriously soft mattress in order to obtain a good night’s sleep.
4. Kesha: Glitter
Kesha has gained a lot of admirers worldwide. The pop singer claimed that she once spent thousands of dollars a month on glitter. It appears like she used a lot of glitter—a lot of glitter, considering that a little vial of glitter costs roughly $1. However, it appears that the most of her time was spent performing live, when she was shot out of cannons and covered in glitter. She stated as much in a 2011 interview, and we’re rather certain that she still has some of the glitter in her home.
5. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: Gold-Plated Toilets
Considering Kayne West’s $1.3 billion and Kim Kardashian’s $350 million net worth, there’s no harm in dressing up to use the loo. So, after purchasing their Bel Air estate for $750,000, they both made the decision to purchase gold toilets. They desired the best for their entire mansion, after all. Rumour has it that the couple even chose to purchase expensive interior décor at a cost twice as high as the house itself. This clarifies why they nearly spent a million dollars on their bathroom alone.
6. Bono: A Plane Ticket For His Hat
You’ll be like, “Wait what?” after learning that Bono paid that much for his aircraft ticket wearing his hat. We also felt exactly the same way. In 2003, while Bono was performing in Italy, he became aware that his trademark hat was still in London. He made a lot better choice than purchasing a new hat or employing a courier service to retrieve his hat. Flying to him in first class, he flew the cap. Just to have his hat with him before the show, he paid more than $1,500.
7. Victoria Beckham: A 24K Gold-Plated Cell Phone
Without a question, the iPhone 4 was one of the most popular products available in 2011. Post Spice had an extremely fancy 24k gold-plated phone at the time. The phone was designed by Stuart Hughes and weighed 150 grammes of 24k gold. Victoria covered that case with $33,000. She has since given up on the phone, so we may assume that it would have proven difficult for her to carry.
8. Celine Dion: A Humidifier
When Celine Dion moved to Las Vegas in 2002, she believed that she should have unique accommodations because she would be performing in the same room every night. In order to counteract the dry desert weather and safeguard her singing voice, she made the decision to purchase a $2 million humidifier. You could argue that the singer would have disagreed that a straightforward humidifier would have done the job just as well. She sang with her strong voice as the opulent humidifier hung from the ceiling above her. Do you believe that the purchase was ridiculous?
9. Johnny Depp: Private Island
Johnny Depp could easily purchase an own island when he can spend more than $30,000 a month on wine alone. But he bought the island before he got into debt. In 2004, he paid $3.6 million for a property on Little Halls Pond Cay in the Bahamas. This Johnny is no different from the others in that he has always been a big spender. The actor has 45 acres of tranquilly on the stunning private island. In addition to his own private island, he possesses more than a dozen homes.
10. Donald Trump: Gold Plated Jet
Without Trump and his expensive celebrity purchases, our list would be lacking. The US President is renowned for leading an opulent lifestyle. For $100 million in 2011, he bought the Boeing 757 from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. The majority of the items on the jet are plated in 24k gold, and Trump made sure it has all the conveniences of a home. President Trump must have his gorgeous jet in a hanger because he now utilises Air Force One.
11. Mike Tyson: A 24K Gold Bathtub
Mike Tyson spent so much money during his peak boxing career that it seemed as though he was giving it away. After his rape conviction, it was altered. Prior to that, he bought his now-ex-wife Robin Givens a 24-karat gold bathtub. Considering that he spent more than $2.2 million on a bathtub, this purchase is absurd. Who got the bathtub now that Tyson and Givens aren’t married?
12. Lady Gaga: Electromagnetic Field Meter to Detect Ghosts
This is a rather strange celebrity acquisition. When it comes to keeping evil spirits out of her house, Gaga takes this very seriously. Not believing it? The musician did, however, spend $50,000 on ghost investigators and an electromagnetic field meter specifically designed to pick up ghosts. Maybe having an excessive income can lead to spending on unnecessary items.
13. Nicholas Cage: A Dinosaur Skull
Once upon a time, Nicholas Cage and Leonardo DiCaprio engaged in a bidding war for the most impressive celebrity acquisition ever—a Tyrannosaurus Bataar head. Cage paid $276,000 for it at the auction and held onto it for a long time until an unusual event occurred. It was revealed in 2015 that the stolen skull was never intended for sale. The actor agreed to turn over the skull so that it might be returned to Mongolia even though he paid top cash for it.
14. Mike Tyson: Three Bengal Tigers
There was always going to be another Mike Tyson on our list. And he reappears here with a big bang. For $140,000, he bought three Bengal tigers. Buying them is a stupid investment because it is less expensive than feeding and maintaining them in a different place. For example, the annual expense of feeding the tigers is $200,000. He starred in The Hangover with his kitties before deciding to give them up for good.
15. Kim Basinger: A Town in Georgia
Born and raised in Georgia, Kim Basinger made the decision to acquire property in her home state in 1989. She then raised a small group of investors and invested $20 million to purchase 1,751 acres in Braselton, Georgia. Despite their first plans to make it a tourist attraction, that never materialised, and after five years they were forced to sell the property at a loss. Undoubtedly, it was a foolish celebrity acquisition.
