3. Kim Basinger – $20 Million For A Town

Have you ever looked at a town and thought, “hey yeah, that looks like something I think I can buy.” No? Probably because you’re a normal person, but Kim Basinger was something special, so in 1989, she purchased 1,751 acres of the town’s 2,000 available acres. The sum cost the actress $20 million, and was bought with the aspirations of turning the town into a tourist destination. The town, Braselton, is in Georgia, which is where Basinger is from, so at least you can understand that correlation. Perhaps not shockingly, Basinger was filing for personal bankruptcy within 5 years of the purchase.
