15 Famous People Who Flexed Their Status
Some people buy a nice watch when they get a promotion. Famous people? They buy islands, commission golden toilets, or throw parties that cost more than most people’s houses. When you’ve got stupid money, the natural thing to do is make sure everyone knows it.
These displays of wealth range from quirky to completely nuts. Here is a list of 15 famous people who flexed their status in ways that made regular folks wonder what planet they’re living on.

The rapper bought a $40 million private jet, then gutted the whole thing to put in cream leather seats and a bedroom. Not crazy enough? He had his initials stitched in gold thread all over the plane.
