In 2016, the absolute wealthiest individuals in society make up their own social class, known as the billionaire class, and it is such a small group that in a world with over seven billion people, there are just over 1,800 confirmed members of the billionaire club.
There is a common misconception, especially lately, that all billionaires are greedy individuals who frivolously spend money on extravagant and oftentimes unnecessary things, simply because they have more wealth than any one person should have in a lifetime. Now it is true that billionaires like that do exist, but there are also those who donate large sums of money to charities and other philanthropic organizations to help those who live in poverty. That being said though, whether a billionaire is a jerk or a nice human being, does not take away from the fact that they do spend obscene amounts of money on things that regular people would never be able to afford. Here is a list of 15 of the most expensive purchases ever made by billionaires.
15. A Parade
Everyone loves a parade, primarily because they can be quite fun, which is the reason why there are numerous parades which take place throughout North America, including the annual one that takes place every Thanksgiving. There exists one type of parade though that only a select few cities can enjoy a year, one that is dedicated solely to championship winning sports teams. There is a championship parade held each year in a city whose MLB, NHL, NFL, or NBA team wins a title, and these types of parades are always filled with excitement for the athletes, fans, and team owners. Billionaire Mark Cuban, is one of these owners, and when his team the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA championship for the first time in 2011, he paid around 1.2 million dollars for the team’s parade. Expenses for this parade included a bottle of champagne for the athletes which alone was $90,000, and he also tipped the parade’s staff an extra $20,000.
