Recently, we talked about celebs who are pretty frugal when it comes to spending money. What about those who are, well…the opposite?
While we can’t really speak to how celebs spend their money, here are some of the most unique and priciest purchases the uber-wealthy have made:
1.
Paris Hilton spent $325K on a mansion for her dogs.
Back in 2017, Paris tweeted about the doggy mansion, saying: “My dogs live in this two-story doggy mansion that has air conditioning, heating, designer furniture, and a chandelier. Loves it.”
And, of course, the interior 😌:

Ashton Kutcher paid $200K for a ticket to space.
In 2012, Mr. Mila Kunis dropped this hefty wad of cash on a ticket for Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo rocket. However, his trip ended up getting bagged because of his family.
