Look, you're a celebrity. You've got cash to spare. MTV Cribs was a thing for a reason, even if it was something of a sham. But yeah, you get that first paycheck, and you want to ball out. Maybe you love vintage cars, like a couple of past-their-prime comedians with extremely niche shows regarding bean water and late nights. Maybe you want a Skittles machine in your house, like NBA star Derrick Rose. Maybe you want a basement bowling alley you can drink your friends' milkshakes in and, uh, nothing else. Point is, you've got cash. To burn. But you don't want all the usual suspects.
