40 of the Most Expensive Celebrity Purchases of All Time

How much did your humidifier cost? Cool, Celine Dion spent $2 million on hers, bye.

I know we’ve all agreed to block out the era of Tom and Katie, but friendly reminder that Tom reportedly dropped $20 million on a private jet for her wedding gift. A source said at the time that, “Tom wanted to come up with the most amazing wedding gift ever, something that would make her life so much better than a big diamond on her finger.”

In more “celebs are relatable” news, Ashton Kutcher dropped $200k on a ticket to space aboard Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo rocket plane. Alas, he didn’t make the trip, later explaining, “When I got married and had kids, my wife encouraged that it was not a smart family decision to be heading into space when we have young children.”

In a move that’ll have you saying “wow, humble! Modest!” Justin Bieber apparently transformed his black Cadillac CTV-S into a $100,000 “Batmobile,” complete with suicide doors, HID headlamps, and the word “Batmobile” on the back. Subtle!

Back in 2013, James Cameron spent ~$20 million buying land in New Zealand, including a walnut farm. Honestly, makes sense. If you don’t own a walnut farm, what! is! the point!

How much did you spend on your pet? Because Jay-Z reportedly dropped over $55 million for a Kentucky Derby winner named California Chrome. Why, you ask? Answer: Why not.

Dude spent $418,340 on a florists’ bill in the span of 20-months. As he told the British High Court during a lawsuit with his accountants, “I like flowers. I don’t have any people to leave my money to. I’m a single man. I like to spend money. It’s my money to spend.”

He told Entertainment Tonight that it’s the most lavish gift he’s ever purchased, saying, “She knows all about it and the island is called Love Island.” TBD on how much $ he spent, but private islands typically run in the millions.

Kendall dropped $52,000 on a knitted sofa designed by the Campana brothers for Edra back in 2016, saying on her now-defunct blog (lol), “[It’s] all woven and a really groovy navy with purple shimmer. It works perfectly in the space!”

Yep, Akon owns a diamond mine in South Africa. He purchased the mine in 2007 for an unknown amount, and The Richest reports that it makes him millions of dollars.

Back in the ’80s, Stephen Spielberg dropped about $60k on the iconic Rosebud sled from Citizen Kane. He ended up giving it to the Academy Museum, saying, “It’s in my office right now and it’s been there for years and years, ever since I purchased it. It was at home for a while and then it was in my office. But I think it really belongs in a museum so everybody can see it.”

Back in 2012, newly engaged Angie reportedly bought her fiancé a $1.6 million helicopter complete with flying lessons. “They’ve had a helicopter pad installed in the grounds of their south of France home, Chateau Miraval. So Ange thought it would be nice to buy Brad a helicopter as a surprise present,” a source told The Sun. “In particular, they would like to be able to fly to and from Cannes.” Relatable!

(FYI, obviously we chose this photo for sideburn related reasons.)

She bought the tub in celebration of Bey’s baby shower, and apparently it cost $5,200 and was covered in 44,928 imported crystals. *side-eyes weird tub that came with my apartment*

Considering he paid $100 million for Skywalker Ranch in California, it makes sense that George wanted to protect it from the state’s intense fire season. But apparently the county’s fire department simply wasn’t good enough, because he installed his very own fire department complete with fire trucks and 12 full-time firefighters.

Hi, Lady Gaga spent $50K on a ghost detector back in 2010 due to being worried about evil spirits. “She believes in paranormal activity and won’t take any risks when she is on the road,” a source said. “It’s important to her to be safe from spirits.” Sure sure sure.

Her name is Posh Spice for a reason, mmmkay? Anyway, apparently David Beckham gave Victoria a gold-plated iPhone back in 2011, worth about $33,000.

In a move that would make Paris Hilton proud, Miley allegedly got her fleet of dogs their very own Range Rover. “The dogs are banned from her cars, but they basically own the Range Rover,” a source said. “They’re free to jump around, leave their hairs over it, scratch it and have their blankets in there. Miley even joked that if she dies the Range Rover will go to them.”

While the rest of us can’t even get our friends to Venmo us back for brunch, Courteney Cox is out here buying her bestie Chanel. The Friends star reportedly splashed out $12,000 on a Chanel bicycle for Jennifer Aniston when she took up bike riding. Seems practical!

How much did your toilets set you back? ‘Cause former couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West paid $750,000 on their gold-plated ones.

Mike Tyson has somewhat infamously owned multiple white Bengal tigers over the years, which cost over $70,000 each, plus even more in upkeep. Carol Baskin’s silence is deafening!

Back in 1994, Bill Gates dropped $30.8 million on Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Codex Leicester” notebooks, containing his sketches and ideas from the 1500s. Kinda seems like this is the kind of thing that should be in a museum for the world to enjoy, but okay Bill.

North is a huge Michael Jackson fan, so Kim Kardashian went ahead and bought her one of his jackets, saying on Instagram, “North is a really big Michael Jackson fan and we knew she would love this. We won this on an auction for Northie for Christmas.” So how much did North’s Christmas present set Kim and Kanye back? $65,625, no bigs.

Legend has it that during the era of Bennifer 1.0 (aka 2003), Ben gave Jennifer a jewel-encrusted toilet seat worth $105,000 and covered in sapphires, rubies, pearls, and a diamond. Once again, help.

Angelina Jolie was ready to spend $250,000 on Hemingway’s typewriter as a wedding gift for Brad, but had a change of heart. Still including it on this list though due to the $$$ of it all!

Back in 2004, an unverified rumor circulated that David Beckham had purchased a $1.8 million platinum vibrator for Victoria Beckham, which I sincerely hope is true.

What was Keira’s wedding gift from her husband James Righton back in 2013, you ask? A 100-year-old olive tree with their initials engraved into the back that cost him $4,500. Um. Kay!

Kim told her followers that “Along with jacket, North also got Michael’s Smooth Criminal hat. It still has his makeup on it.” Not sure what this one cost, but wow.
