13. Michael Vick – Koi Fish Pond, $85,000
Michael Vick was an outstanding NFL player who was well deserving of the contract he signed with the Atlanta Falcons for over $100 million. Yet he was also deserving of his downfall, after he was arrested for his role in a dog-fighting ring. Vick served time in jail, lost sponsors, and eventually ran out of money. He bounced back in the NFL, but when people were going over their assets, they were blown away to see what the star had spent money on. Perhaps none more alarming than the fact that Vick spent $85,000 on a Koi fish pond. Perhaps he needed something relaxing to look at in between the dog fighting. Given that athletes spend so much of their time on the road, it makes purchases like this all the more ridiculous in hindsight.
