The 20 Most Extravagant Items That Celebrities Actually Own

Parks and Recreation may have taught people to "treat yo'self," but some celebrities have taken that saying to a whole new level of excessive. Sure, they can easily afford a luxury item or two, but some of these stars seemed so concerned with whether they could buy something, that they forgot to consider whether or not they should...

Lady Gaga

What: Electro Magnetic Field Detector

How much: $47,000


Is that ectoplasm we spy? Move over Ghostbusters, we can call Lady Gaga now. The pop sensation believes firmly in paranormal activity and is deadly afraid of ghosts, particularly one simply named Ryan. Her solution? She drags her ghost-detecting machine on the road with her to stay safe at all times. You do you, Gaga!

Flavor Flav

What: bronze O.J. Simpson statue

Worth: $3,250 — Millions


Contrary to popular belief, Flavor Flav didn't actually steal or buy his life-size statue of O.J. Simpson; it was gifted to him by radio host Mancow Muller. In fact, Muller got a pretty sweet deal for the bronze back in 1999 — a reasonable $3,250. Still, the piece is worth a lot of money these days; Flav is apparently trying to sell it for at least six figures.

Nicolas Cage

What: Tyrannosaurus Bataar Skeleton

How much: $276,000


Nic Cage must be making some serious bank because aside from growing his comic book collection, he's splurged on a whole host of other expensive items, including on two albino cobras, an octopus, a Gulfstream jet, a private island, and a $276,000 dinosaur skull. Unfortunately, the skull became the center of a scandal. Turns out, it was actually a stolen artifact from Mongolia.

Victoria Beckham

What: Gold-plated iPhone

How much: $33,000


Have you ever dropped your smartphone and dreaded shelling out $100 to get the screen replaced? You probably won't be able to relate to Victoria Beckham, whose gold-plated iPhone set her back $33,000. Now imagine dropping THAT. Rumor had it that the lavish handset was a 'push present' from husband David Beckham, but an inside source quickly dismissed the tattle, "She's had the phone for ages," the rep explained back in 2011. "Nothing new."
