counting down our picks for the top ten
ridiculously expensive celebrity
purchases before we begin we publish new
videos every day so be sure to subscribe
for more great content for this list
we’re looking at celebs and other famous
individuals that have reportedly spent
insane amounts of money on a single
purchase or outing please note that the
estimated prices are given in u.s.
dollars number 10 Lady gaga an over
$45,000 ghost detector singer and
actress Lady Gaga has always come off as
a little different you know I think that
most people think I’m more shocking than
I think I am so we can’t say we were all
that surprised to hear that in 2010 she
spent almost $50,000 on a ghost
detection machine the technical term for
the device is electromagnetic field
meter and ghost hunters use them to find
objects that are emitting electrical
charges supposedly this is an effective
way to figure out whether a ghost is in
the vicinity hopefully it works and Gaga
is able to tour with peace of mind now
that she’s equipped to accurately
determine whether or not she’s in the
presence of a spirit number 9 Victoria
Beckham a 33 thousand dollar iPhone when
most people need a new phone they call
up their service provider and hope
they’re due for a free upgrade Victoria
Beckham however is not most people the
former Spice Girl spent an estimated 33
thousand dollars on a gold-plated iPhone
which was first spotted by the tabloids
back in 2011 the phone which does a
number of innovative things like making
phone calls and sending text messages
was designed by Stuart Hughes and
reportedly contains 150 grams of 24
karat gold dropping your phone is bad
enough without it costing a small
fortune
hopefully Beckham spent a little extra
on the purchase and got herself a solid
case number 8 Brad Pitt a nine hundred
and sixty thousand dollar painting we’re
just raising it slightly Schumann did it
in 64 and vanished in 73 no he only had
a group six when you’re one of the most
sought-after leading men in Hollywood
it’s safe to say you probably have a
little cash to throw around for Brad
Pitt
this apparently means shelling out close
to a million dollars to purchase a
painting by German artist Neo Rao the
painting in question is called a top and
depicts a man in a Formula One race car
driving past two men clutching what
looks like multi-coloured hoses or a
spool of twine so yeah art of course the
piece is one of many purchased by Pitt
and ex-wife Angelina Jolie during the
course of their marriage here why like
me technically yes number seven Paris
Hilton
a three hundred and twenty five thousand
dollar doghouse was here only $13,000
for socialite and hotel heiress Paris
Hilton spending money has never been a
problem however even by her standards
this purchase is a jaw-dropper in 2009
Hilton reportedly paid three hundred and
twenty five thousand dollars to build a
two-story miniature mansion for her dogs
the home which is fully furnished and
comes with air conditioning heating and
a chandelier also features a closet
loaded with different outfits for her
pups while Hilton has been known to live
a life of luxury paying hundreds of
thousands of dollars just so her dogs
can live like royalty – feels a little
excessive and looking at the micro
mansion we also suspect she overpaid
number six Kim Kardashian over $750,000
gold-plated toilets socialite in reality
TV star Kim Kardashian has been
flaunting her expensive tastes
and extreme wealth for years but this
just might be her most insane purchase
to date the Keeping Up with the
Kardashians star went all out when
furnishing her new home back in 2013
allegedly spending a ridiculous seven
hundred and sixty seven thousand dollars
on four gold-plated toilets these things
better be able to cure a wide variety of
ailments simultaneously because for that
amount a toilet should be able to do a
whole lot more than just flush away
excrement
I dropped my blackberry in the toilet
it’s in it happened either way spending
a fortune on toilets seems extreme even
for mr. and mrs. Kanye West number five
tamarah Ecclestone a one and a half
million dollar bathtub do you know how
many rooms are in the house
models socialite and daughter of British
billionaire Bernie Ecclestone tomara is
no stranger to the finer things in life
however this purchase is more than a
little extravagant Ecclestone reportedly
paid one and a half million dollars in
2011 for a crystal bathtub
this included the travel costs for those
gathering the crystal the cost of
building and installing the tub as well
as reinforcing the bathroom floor in
order to accommodate its weight to make
this purchase worthwhile Michael stones
gonna have to spend a lot of time
soaking in the tub but based on her
willingness to indulge in such a luxury
item something tells us that’s not gonna
be a problem number four break
50-thousand dollars at a strip club if
you’re one of the hottest rappers in the
game it stands to reason that you should
have a little cash to blow in Drake’s
case a little cash apparently amounts to
50 grand and blowing it means making it
rain at a North Carolina strip club the
Canadian artist threw so much cash in
the air that it began to carpet the
floor Drake may have started from the
bottom but he has clearly moved into a
higher tax bracket since how else can
you explain dropping what amounts to the
cost of a new car on the floor of a
strip club
number three beyond say $100,000 gold
leggings beyonce and hubby jay-z are
without a doubt music royalty between
the two of them they are worth over a
billion dollars as of 2017 which makes
purchasing extravagant items a breeze
how else can you explain Beyonce
shelling out $100,000 for a pair of gold
leggings the singer wore them during a
live performance at the 2007 B et Awards
[Music]
we don’t know much about gold but we can
only imagine that those bad boys weighed
a ton it’s hard to fathom where you go
after wearing leggings made of gold but
if anyone can think of something better
its Queen B number 2 Donald Trump a 100
million dollar jet I started off in
Brooklyn my father gave me a small loan
of a million dollars I came into
Manhattan businessman reality star
president of the United States Donald
Trump is a man with a colorful resume
with so much media attention however it
becomes easy to forget the little things
like the ridiculously expensive jetty
bought back in 2011 the plane cost him a
whopping 100 million dollars but
apparently didn’t come with enough
panache here we are in mr. Trump’s
bedroom so Trump decided to deck it out
with the one thing that is sure to make
you feel rich Gold the jet is now
equipped with a number of 24 karat gold
finishings including seat belt buckles
bathroom fixtures and more before we
unveil our number one pick here is an
honorable mention
[Music]
[Applause]
number one Nicolas Cage a 276 thousand
dollar dinosaur skull
I don’t like it carried away I just sort
of have a good time taking the top spot
on our list is a man who needs no
introduction
as mr. cages oddities are the stuff of
legend however his 2007 purchase of a 67
million year old Dino skull is
definitely up there alongside some of
his strangest decisions cage outbid
Leonardo DiCaprio for the Tyrannosaurus
Bataar fossil in a move that ended up
costing him a small fortune excuse me
can I see one of those $100 bills I paid
you with no unfortunately this story
doesn’t come with a funny or even a
happy ending as it was later discovered
that the paleontologist who sold the
skull to cage had in fact stolen it from
Mongolia so the actor was forced to give
it back it would have made one hell of a
conversation piece though small time you
can quack
