Everyone has fantasized about living the celebrity life. From expensive vacations to lavish homes and vehicles, you can probably think of numerous ways to spend your hypothetical riches. However, some celebrity purchases are a little less traditional.  From dental decorations to doggie mansions, you have to see what it costs to live like the extremely wealthy.

Gwyneth Paltrow: $350 T-Shirt

Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle website Goop often features products the star can’t live without. In an article showcasing her favorite T-shirts, the actress highlighted a $350 jersey top that “has the spirit of a T-shirt, but it’s fancy enough to wear to a dinner party.” The shirt's final sale was set at $105 prior to it being sold-out on Goop, so the price was slightly less outrageous but still more than the average person might spend on a T-shirt.

Chrissy Teigen: $370 Stretch Mark Serum

When Chrissy Teigen was pregnant with her first child, she went to great lengths to prevent stretch marks on her belly, which included frequent applications of a special serum that costs $370 an ounce. “La Mer The Concentrate saved my life. I’m constantly 25 minutes late to everything because my lotion regimen is that long. I put it everywhere,” Teigen told Allure.

Oprah: $399.99 Hair Dryer

Oprah's philanthropy efforts get a ton of attention, but it's her annual “favorite things” list that people wait for all year, many of which aren’t cheap. So it’s no surprise she favors a $399.99 hair dryer. “This Dyson hair dryer — with its speedy airflow, heat control for minimal damage, quiet motor and three magnetic attachments — gets the job done super fast and is worth every penny,” she said on her website.

Kim Kardashian West: $595 Slide Sandals

The hot summer months usually call for flip-flops, unless you’re a super-rich celebrity. With Kim Kardashian West’s net worth, there’s no way she buys bargain sandals. In July 2016, Kardashian West was seen strolling about Los Angeles in a pair of $595 Givenchy mink fur and rubber slides, featuring dyed mink from Finland and a rubber sole for comfort.

Shaquille O’Neal: $1,000 a Week on Apps

Basketball superstar Shaquille O’Neal might just have an app for everything. “I honestly spend about $1,000 on apps a week — real money,” Shaq told The Wall Street Journal. Still, that’s pennies to the former Los Angeles Lakers great, who’s worth a whole lot more now thanks to his successful business ventures off the court.

Jennifer Lopez: $1,235 Overalls

Jennifer Lopez might still be "Jenny from the block," but her shopping habits have likely changed since she was living in the South Bronx. The singer-slash-actress was spotted in September 2019 wearing white overalls that looked simple but came with a hefty price tag. The overalls, designed by Brunello Cucinelli, cost $1,235, Wonderwall reported.
