As a wedding present, Tom Cruise shelled out $20 million for a private jet to give to
Katie Holmes. According to one of Tom's trusted sources, the ring he planned to give her was "something that would make her life so much better than a large diamond on her finger."
While some famous people may be known for their frugal spending habits, many others take great pleasure in splurging their hard-earned wealth on things that are both lavish and, dare I say it, odd. Let's just say that some of these extravagant stuffs that
celebrities splurged in bewilderment.

In April of 2022, Pete Davidson and his ex-Saturday Night Live co-star, Colin Jost, purchased a former Staten Island Ferry vessel. In an auction earlier this year, the two comedians and a group of investors won the ferry for $280,000. A floating
Entertainment venue is reportedly in the works for the couple's new lavish purchase. Please add me to the guest list if Pete is going to be there to perform stand-up.

Ashton reportedly paid $200,000 in 2012 for a seat on Richard Branson's space tourism company, Virgin Galactic. To congratulate and welcome Ashton, Richard wrote,

And then there are the pricey sofas. In 2016, Kendall demonstrated this by spending over $50,000 on a knitted sofa (I have many questions) designed by the Campana brothers for Edra.

Beyoncé, being the hard-working musician she is, spared no expense on her wardrobe for the 2007 BET Awards performance. A pair of gold Balenciaga leggings cost the singer a stunning $100,000.
