Beyonce's $100,000 Gold Leggings
Here is a list of 30 disgustingly expensive, strange things bought by mega-rich Hollywood stars. One thing that fascinates us normal people about celebrities is the fact that many of them are absurdly wealthy - so absurdly wealthy that they can afford to buy things that cost more than most of us make in a year. Enjoy these stories of some of the most wild purchases that celebrities have ever bought. Do you know which star bought a gold bathtub? What about the celebrity who bought a custom doghouse for her pooch?
Or the actor who owns an ENTIRE TOWN? Read on to find out some of the most expensive things that celebrities have ever bought. Beyonce wore these pricey leggings, covered in real gold, at the 2007 BET awards. They were designed by Balenciaga. I hope she got to wear them again, like to yoga or something.
Bono's $1700 Plane Ticket For His Hat To Sit In
Bono is supposed to be a humanitarian who wants all the inequality and injustice in the world to be wiped out; at least that’s what he tells the media from time to time and claims in his songs. So what would such a humanitarian do if he went on vacation and accidentally left his favorite hat at home?
He’d spend a ridiculous $1,700 to have it delivered by airplane.
Nicolas Cage's $276,000 Dinosaur Skull

Just a small price for comfort.
Soulja Boy's $250,000 Diamond-encrusted Remote Control Car Necklace

Honestly, we would expect nothing less.
Michael Vick's $85,000 Fish Pond

Suri Cruise's $850 Purse
While you could argue that Suri didn't buy this, it's still fairly alarming that her mom thought a three-year-old needed a Ferragamo purse. Just give the kid a tote bag and let her use her imagination to pretend it's a Ferragamo purse.
Outrageous!

Donald Trump's $100 Million Plane

When Cruise's ex-wife Katie Holmes was pregnant with Suri, the action star actually bought a sonogram machine to just, like, have in their house. She was their only child, so once she was born, what did he do with it?
I hope he donated it to a low-cost clinic.
