The topic is not how the world's youngest, most affluent celebrities spend their
money but rather what kind of wacky thoughts people have when they have unlimited resources. Some people never grow up and will find any reason to justify buying something they "really wanted when we were youngsters." Most of us can identify with that. Some successful businesspeople have amassed enormous
fortunes by spending it in ways most of us would find incomprehensible.
Some people just want to show off, while others are motivated by altruism or a massive
ego. Even if some people's efforts may not be fruitful, no one should ever criticize someone for trying. There are also the irrational, for which there is no plausible explanation other than that today's young celebrities are rushing to squander their
wealth before it is earned.
These are
Weird ways celebrities spend money.1. Celine Dion

Ever want to gift your kids something that's also fun for you (even if you don't acknowledge it)? Celine Dion's inner kid did it. Celine customized her $12.5 million Jupiter, Florida Oceanside home in 2005. She tore down the original house and rebuilt it with slides, loops, and two Olympic-size pools. Who wouldn't want to be her 9-year-old son Rene-Charles?
Real estate brokers may tell you not to build a pool or modify your home. Real estate brokers want to make money quickly and appeal to a wide audience. Celine sold her house in 2014 for five times the original price, despite the 2008 housing boom.
2. Rupert Grint

When the wealthy go cruising, they typically do it in vehicles that cause onlookers to salivate. But not Rupert. His notion of a good time is driving about in his ice cream truck, stopping wherever he sees kids, and giving them all free treats. He does this for ten months out of the year, with July and August being the exceptions. Naturally, when the kids who got the free candy questioned Rupert about who he was, he denied it categorically. The Mr. Whippy van was sometimes employed as a dessert van at cast barbecues for the Harry Potter films. Rupert's inner kid has also led him to collect various
animals.
3. Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga may be frightened of ghosts, unlike Ghostbusters. Ryan tormented Lada Gaga in 2010. The singer paid $50,000 for a ghost detector to protect her on tour. Lady Gaga, who wears flesh outfits, is pictured. She's one of the few celebrities you can use to write about wasting money. Would anyone buy her music, or would she be inspired without her weird personality? These are investments in herself, I think. She still has money. Therefore she must know something we don't.
4. Kate Moss

The 90s supermodel must have felt pleasure from solid gold, not size. Her 2006 gadget cost $400. (depending on the source). The same year, her cocaine use and friendship with Pete Doherty caused headlines. That is probably why tabloids thought she bought it in an NYC adult boutique. The tabloids were never published on the vibrator's dimensions because it had to be more than solid gold to be worth buying. Moss bought it for a buddy. If so, many would have liked to see the gift opened.
5. Shaquille O'Neal

Being so confident that you don't care what others think must be great. Shaquille O'Neal was one of the best basketball players ever. Thus, he may place the Superman Shield on everything he owns. Most men would want a wife as understanding as his. His wife left, so she wasn't as understanding. The logo was everywhere, from kitchen cabinets to automobile seats to his basketball court. His new wife may not let him do this. No.
6. Daniel Radcliffe

By 17, Harry Potter's star actor was among the richest kid performers. To buy everything he wanted. The young man saved his money and didn't splurge much, but he needed sleep. He spent $17,000 on a mattress a decade ago. Indeed. To us, that's $10. This amount buys a hand-sewn horse hair and fleece wool masterpiece. The bed sheets and blankets make one wonder.
7. Victoria & David Beckham

Victoria and David Beckham's 1.8 million dollar adult toy combines Kate Moss' gold toy and Akon's diamond mine. While pregnant, Victoria bought the Platinum and Diamond Diamond Vibrator from a strip club owner in 2004. Not having diamonds in the base would have been painful. Supposedly, just ten exist. Mick Jagger reportedly owns another. You'd think this would be free.
