9. Tom Cruise Bought Katie Holmes A Jet
What is the best gift a husband can give his new bride? According to the actor Tom Cruise, it’s a jet! When Cruise got married to Katie Holmes in 2006 he got her a Gulfstream IV-SP Jet as a wedding gift. Apparently, the jet cost $20 million.
So, what did Katie Holmes think of the gift? We assume that she loved it for she reportedly said that “it’s like a bus, only quicker.” Apparently, Holmes did not use the jet too often, only opting for it when Cruise’s $36 million Gulfstream was not available for her to use.
10. Mike Tyson Bought Robin Givens A Gold Bathtub
Some celebrities truly squander their money on luxurious but absolutely unnecessary items. After all, we can understand the appeal of buying expensive jets, cars and even pens for your loved one. But a golden bathtub? That seems a bit excessive.
And yet that is exactly what Mike Tyson gifted his first wife Robin Givens for Christmas in the late 1980’s – a 24-karat gold bathtub. Thus, it is no wonder that Tyson filed for bankruptcy in 2003. He may have earned a lot during his boxing career (it is estimated that he received around $300 million over his career) but his mad expenses pretty much ensured that towards the end of his life he ended up in debt.
