10 of The Most Ridiculously Expensive and Unnecessary Celebrity Purchases
Hollywood celebrities are known for their lavish lifestyles, but sometimes their extravagant spending reaches absurd levels. From gold-plated toilets to ghost detectors, here are some of the most ridiculously expensive and unnecessary things celebrities have splurged on.
1. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s $750,000 Gold-Plated Toilets
When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were renovating their Bel Air mansion, they decided that regular toilets just wouldn’t do. Instead, they spent a whopping $750,000 on gold-plated toilets—because why not turn bathroom breaks into a luxurious experience?
2. Paris Hilton’s $325,000 Dog Mansion
Paris Hilton takes pet luxury to a whole new level. In 2017, she revealed that her dogs live in a two-story mansion complete with air conditioning, heating, designer furniture, and even a chandelier. At a price tag of $325,000, this canine castle is more lavish than many human homes.
3. Celine Dion’s $2 Million Humidifier
During her Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace in the early 2000s, Celine Dion had a custom humidifier installed above the stage to preserve her vocal cords. The cost? A jaw-dropping $2 million. While protecting her voice is understandable, that price tag is enough to leave anyone speechless.
4. Kendall Jenner’s $52,000 Couch
Kendall Jenner apparently fell in love with a $52,000 blue and purple blob-shaped sofa from Italian designers Edra. She even raved about it on her old blog, calling it “groovy” and a perfect fit for her space. For that price, we’d hope it’s the most comfortable couch in the world!
5. Lady Gaga’s $50,000 Ghost Detector
Lady Gaga reportedly spent $50,000 on an electromagnetic field detector to keep ghosts away. While ghost hunters might approve, it seems like an extreme measure—even for a superstar.
6. Kim Kardashian’s Louis Vuitton Trash Cans
Kim Kardashian once posted a picture of her Louis Vuitton-branded trash cans. While their exact price is unknown, anything Louis Vuitton doesn’t come cheap. It’s safe to say these bins cost more than the garbage inside them.
7. Kelly Rowland’s $5,200 Swarovski Crystal Baby Bathtub
When Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy, was born, Kelly Rowland decided a regular bathtub just wouldn’t do. Instead, she gifted a $5,200 Swarovski crystal-covered baby bathtub from the Diamond Bathtub Company. At least part of the proceeds reportedly went to charity.
8. Beyoncé’s $100,000 Gold Leggings
For her 2007 BET Awards performance, Beyoncé wore a pair of gold leggings that reportedly cost $100,000. Fashion statements can be pricey, but this takes it to another level.
9. Justin Bieber’s $100,000 Batmobile Cadillac
In 2017, Justin Bieber spent $100,000 customizing his Cadillac CTV-S to look like a Batmobile. It featured suicide doors, HID headlamps, and “Batmobile” emblazoned across the back. Apparently, the pop star wanted to cruise the streets like Gotham’s protector.
10. Victoria Beckham’s $33,000 Gold-Plated iPhone Case
Victoria Beckham’s phone case is fancier than most people’s entire tech collections. In 2011, it was rumored that David Beckham gifted her a gold-plated iPhone case worth $33,000. It contained 150 grams of 24-karat gold—because why not add a little extra bling to your phone?
