Mike Tyson

Mike wanted a pet for a long time and eventually when he got rich and famous, he bought two Bengal tigers for $150,000, He says he trains them regularly.

Tom Cruise

It could be down to scientology or maybe, Tom’s just a natural born control freak but whatever the reason might be, when his wife Katie Holmes got pregnant, Tom went and bought a sonogram machine for $200,000 so doctors could come to his home to check on the foetus instead of Tom taking his wife to the hospital.

Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage went above and beyond on the extravagance count on our list as what he bought was an actual dinosaur skeleton that looks almost exactly the same as the one used in Night at the Museum.
