Celebrities wear many hats: As public figures, theyre beloved icons at best and at worst theyre embodiments of what happens when financial excess meets colossal privilege.
From dropping $15,000 on palatial porta-potties to importing $30,000 worth of wine a month just to nurse a drinking habit, here are 22 times celebrities reminded us just how absurdly rich they truly are.
Nobody takes a bath quite like the queen of all media, Oprah Winfrey. As she revealed during a conversation with James Corden on The Late Late Show, she sees bathing as a hobby, and takes it very seriously.
I do have a hand-carved tub, she confessed, explaining that it was made out of marble and onyx. You can get a couple in there [] However, it was carved to the shape of my body.
Perhaps it should come as no surprise that itll cost you approximately $300 a day to eat like Gwyneth Paltrow the woman who once said that she is who she is and cant pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year.
If you truly want to emulate Paltrows lifestyle, youll also have to budget in pricey vaginal steams, expensive supplements and beauty dust, and a $33,000-per-year personal trainer.
In an Instagram video, Cardi B told her husband to look in the fridge for his birthday present. When he opened the freezer, it was stacked with cash, which Cardi said added up to $500,000. In the video, Offset tells her that she didnt have to get him money.
I know I dont have to give you the money, but I dont know what to give you, so I suppose I gotta give you something, she said, telling him to buy a new car, clothes, or jewelry.
But thats nothing compared to her transport and wardrobe expenses.
While on a press tour for her upcoming album, Rare, Selena Gomez was seen wearing one outfit that included a $5,950 Miu Miu coat, a $1,050 Paco Rabanne dress, and $690 Prada heels. Later that day, she was spotted in a second outfit, which included a $1,680 Givenchy sweater dress, $1,395 Saint Laurent boots, and $240 Rebecca de Ravenel earrings. In all, her outfits that day cost a whopping $11,005.
In October 2018, Meghan Markle announced she was pregnant. During the following months, she showed off a glamorous and expensive maternity wardrobe. Her most expensive outfit was a black-and-white Oscar de la Renta dress, which cost $13,200. By March the following year, the Duchess had showed off an impressive $632,000 worth of clothing, according to reports.
During an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in August 2019, Post Malone was wearing a Rolex watch that costs $96,900. The watch known as the Rainbow Cosmograph Daytona has 36 baguette-cut sapphires and 56 diamonds. John Mayer and Kevin Hart have also been spotted wearing the watch.
He also refuses to fly on any aircraft besides his personal Gulfstream GV which costs him $200,000 a month.

Paris Hilton has many labels: shes an heiress, a perfume magnate, and allegedly the inventor of the selfie, but most importantly, shes a pet owner and her dogs live in a two story doggy-mansion replete with air conditioning, heating, designer furniture, and mood lighting.
Gates mistakenly believed that a box of Rice-A-Roni would cost $5 (it costs $1) and that a bag of frozen pizza rolls would cost $22.
Shields allegedly once said: Im so naive about finances. Once when my mother mentioned an amount and realized I didnt understand, she had to explain: Thats like three Mercedes. Then I understood.
In October 2019, billionaire businesswoman Kylie Jenner posted a video of her new Bugatti Chiron on Instagram. When people learned the car costs $3 million, they said she was inappropriately flaunting her wealth, telling her she should use her money to help others who are less fortunate. Jenner who owns several expensive cars took down the video.
As Hayek once said: I always wanted more children, but you have to work very hard to please them all. If you are making pizza, there is one who doesnt like cheese and another who hates tomato. Our chef sometimes looks so downhearted.
The evidence can be found on the rappers Instagram. He also recently forgot that he had Bitcoin: turns out it was worth $8 million.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt spent $10 million of their earnings before doomsday.
We made and spent at least $10 million, Pratt told OK! Magazine. The thing is, we heard that the planet was going to end in 2012. We thought, We have got to spend this money before the asteroid hits.'
Along with his 120-person entourage, Bieber demanded that he be supplied with sofas, a ping pong table, two five-star hotels, a massage table, a jacuzzi, a special Indian Yoga Casket containing aromatic essential oils, purple carnations, a convoy of 10 luxury sedans, two Volvo buses, and a Rolls Royce and thats just a small sample of his exhaustive list.

Victoria Beckham divulged that her skincare products cost around $1,741.52 in an interview with Into the Gloss.
According to Forbes, Nicolas Cage earned $40 million in 2009 alone. He managed to blow through his $150 million fortune by purchasing two castles, four yachts, a pair of albino cobras, private islands, and pilfered dinosaur skulls. He went broke and owed the IRS money.
Nothing but the best for Chelsea Clintons wedding guests the blushing bride allegedly doled out $15,000 for four to six outhouses, which came equipped with flushing porcelain toilets and urinals, stereos, lights, and hot water.
Scott Disick likes to flood his Instagram feed with photos of his many Rolexes and luxury cars but perhaps the most blatantly self-satisfied pic was of his expensive watches and jewelry, captioned: Packing for a camping trip.
Lauren Santo Domingo, a contributing editor at Vogue and co-founder of online fashion retailer Moda Operandi, was chatting with Into the Gloss about her beauty routine when she dropped these two snippets of entitled intel.
For hair not like I wash my own hair, I cant even remember the last time I washed my own hair When I go out at night, I definitely trust the professionals I get a blow-out, I get my makeup done I just cant be bothered to do it myself. I can do my makeup well, but I dont feel as good I just prefer to have it done for me.
The former prime minister of Britain, David Cameron, was shamed when he mistakenly guessed that a value loaf of bread at the supermarket would cost well north of a pound (around $1.40).
When he was informed that a discount loaf of bread costs about $.60, he proclaimed that he doesnt buy discount bread because he prefers to make his own at home, using his Panasonic bread maker (which costs about $200 on average and thats not to mention the ingredients for the bread).
Previously, Cameron made headlines after proudly showing off his $34,908 garden shed on wheels.
