Madonna

In addition to lavish and off-the-beaten path holidays, the Queen of Pop also reportedly has a particularly picky palate when it comes to water. Yes, you read that right. Water. Having famously converted to Kabbalah (a form of mystic Judaism), Madonna pays $10,000 for special water that has been blessed and regularly delivered to her home. Oh, and then there are the million dollar birthday parties. No big deal.

Elon Musk

Knowing how to spend is one thing, but knowing how to make those billions is a whole other kind of skill. One half of a celeb power couple you never saw coming and Tesla lead, spends money on real-estate and (predictably) a robust car collection, when he’s not investing it in his next business venture. He owns a $70 million real estate portfolio (including a $17 million mansion) and a nearly-million dollar Lotus Esprit submarine car used in James Bond. And that's just to start of it.

Oprah Winfrey

From her latest stunning Montecito ranch purchase (owned previously by Jeff Bridges) to owning one of the most expensive properties in the world, dubbed Promised Land, Oprah’s empire extends literally into the physical realm too. The Queen lives as large as she reigns, with glam vacations at luxury hotels to boot.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom

Like some other celebs in this roundup, Katy Perry and fiance Orlando Bloom also like to enjoy fancy holidays in lux locales. But when the couple first got engaged, Bloom gifted the singer a flower-shaped engagement floral pattern halo ring. The piece features eight round-cut diamonds surrounding a ruby that collectively puts the ring at an estimated cost of several hundred thousand dollars (one estimate puts it at $300,000).

Kristen Bell

We know that Kristen is one of the most frugal celebs out there when it comes to her spending (her kids famously have second-hand clothes and she is a known thrifter). But the star of Veronica Mars and Disney’s Frozen has also indulged in a few expensive handbags over the years. Her biggest splurge, however, is on produce and food at farmer’s markets in her local California.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z

The King and Queen of Hip Hop are not only one of the best-known celeb power couples, they also have one of the highest net worths as a unit. So what do they do with all that wealth? Miami’s luxury hotels, $400,000 per month Hampton’s home rentals, and $10,000 per night Airbnb Superbowl stays are on the list, but so are outrageous gifts, such as a Bombardier Challenger 85 jet Bey bought Jay. Heavy lies the crown...but we image not that heavy.

Scarlett Johansson

What does one of the richest actresses in film in 2020 like to spend her money on? In addition to swanky properties in LA and the Hampton’s, privacy is big on this classic American beauty’s list. A private jet helps keep the paparazzi at bay. In terms of personal upkeep, she will only go to the best Beverly Hills hair stylists for her famous locks. And she isn’t the only one to spend a nice chunk of change on her beauty routine.
