Many celebrities have more money than they could ever use. Many of them have multiple houses, personal trainers, personal chefs, and some of them even have private jets.
Celebrities can afford to spend money in ways that look wasteful to others, but big spending is a part of celebrity culture. There are even TV shows that highlight how the rich live, and many of them are encouraged to compete to have the best movie role, the best look, or the biggest concert.
Celebrities love their fancy cars, and many of these vehicles cost big bucks. Birdman, for example, got a Veyron for $2.1 million dollars and then a Maybach Exelero for $8 million.
Many celebrities including Jay Leno, Nicholas Cage, and Tim Allen own multiple expensive cars. Tom Cruise gave Katie Holmes a Gulfstream jet, and Jay-Z owns a $40 million private jet. But these celebs really overpaid for these 15 cars.
