Yahoo Lifestyle 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."
