Some famous faces think nothing of spending lots of their hard-earned millions on the weirdest things.

My Reading Room
Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga has money to burn. While she was recovering from an injury in 2013, the singer was feeling so lonely that she spent almost US$50,000 importing koi fish from Japan to keep her company.

My Reading Room
Leonardo DiCaprio.

Leo’s passion for the environment is well known. In 2005, the Oscar-winning actor bought an island off the coast of Belize for a cool US$1.7 million. He intends on building a fully sustainable eco-resort there one day.

My Reading Room
Madonna.

Why drink water free from the tap when you can spend up to US$10,000 a month on it? Madonna buys bottles and bottles of water charged with positive energy and ships cartons of it to wherever in the world she happens to be.

My Reading Room
Da niel Radcliffe.

Unlike the famous boy wizard, this Harry Potter star doesn’t sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. Instead, he drifts off to sleep on a US$17,000 mattress by London’s luxury bespoke bed maker Savoir.
