Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Lady Gaga suffers from phasmophobia. To ease her suffering, she spent £30,000 for what palliative device?

Answer: Electromagnetic Field Meters

Gaga is known to be terrified of ghosts and spirits, an aversion known as phasmophobia. Psychologists have a number of treatments available for the condition, but Lady Gaga seems to have decided to just go with it. According to 'Glamour' magazine she spent big money on devices to detect any ghostly presence where she lives or stays. Paranormal researchers believe that ghosts can manipulate electromagnetic fields. EMF Meters are used to measure the ghostly fluctuations.
2. Which of these celebrities purchased the most costly doghouse for her pets in 2009?

Answer: Paris Hilton

While the hotel heiress/celeb is rumored to be a frequently absentee dog owner, she found the spare change to buy her pets a custom $325,000 doggy mansion. The structure came with air-conditioning, sofas and a black crystal chandelier because dogs presumably like chandeliers.
3. In 1989 Kim Basinger spent $20 million on a single purchase. What item did she buy?

Answer: A town

The star of 'Batman' (1989) and 'Never Say Never Again' (1983) purchased 1700 acres of the town of Braselton, Georgia, planning to turn it into a tourist attraction. Five years later she filed bankruptcy and sold the town at a big loss.
4. What young actor, who began his career sleeping in a cupboard under the stairs, spent $17,000 for a new mattress?

Answer: Daniel Radcliffe

Savoir, the London bedding manufacturer, sells only handmade mattresses made of natural material, such as tufts of hand-laid, loose horse tail, believed to provide a better sleep. The star of Harry Potter, whose net worth is estimated at $110 million at this writing, shopped in the bargain basement for his Savoir at $17,000. The company's prices range up to $55,000.
5. Singers often go to great lengths to protect their voices. On what did Celine Dion spend $2 million to help keep her vocal talents in top form?

Answer: A humidifier

In June 2019, Celine Dion finished an eight year residency and over 1000 performances at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Over the years she had to cancel numerous performances due to vocal inflammation. The Quebecois star apparently blamed the low humidity in Vegas and she had a $2 million humidifier installed in the theater at Caesars.

The expensive mister was suspended overhead while she performed.
6. What diva purchased a $100,000 pair of gold plated Balenciaga leggings for her performance at the 2007 BET Awards?

Answer: Beyonce

Beyonce bought a $5200 crystal covered bathtub for her daughter, so $100k for an outfit in which to perform may seem reasonable to her. At the 2007 BET awards, Beyonce won the Best Female R&B/Pop Artist award and her 'Irreplaceable' was named Video of the Year. Her paired performance with Kelly Rowland was judged by many critics as the high point of the show.
7. It's common for a husband to buy a nice gift for his pregnant wife. What $200,000 present did Tom Cruise purchase for Katie Holmes in 2005 while the couple was expecting daughter Suri?

Answer: An ultrasound machine

It's hard to say how many sonograms Tom and Katie took of their child to be, but how many did they really need? Doctors don't recommend excessive sonograms, especially when performed by people who are not adequately trained in the procedure. In 2006 California passed what's been called the 'Tom Cruise Law', banning the sale of diagnostic ultrasound units to anyone but licensed clinicians.
8. Bono once spent $1500 on a first-class airplane ticket for his hat.

Answer: True

In 2003, U2 was in Italy for a charity concert when Bono discovered he'd forgotten his favorite hat. Since a substitute chapeau wouldn't do, arrangements were made for it to be flown (in its own seat) from London, along with cab rides, insurance, and tips.
9. What celebrity outbid Leonardo DiCaprio to purchase a dinosaur skull?

Answer: Nicolas Cage

Cage's bid of $276,000 topped Leo's for the 67 million year old skull of a Tyrannosaurus Bataar. The skull was later found to have been illegally smuggled into the United States. Cage kept the skull for ten years before returning it to the Mongolian government. He was not reimbursed for his purchase price.
10. In 2010 Katy Perry bought then-fiance Russell Brand a $200,000 gift for his 35th birthday. What was it?

Answer: A trip to space

The 'Virgin Galactic' spacecraft, should it ever fly, will take Brand and other celebrity ticket holders into space for a suborbital flight lasting several minutes. Richard Branson's spaceship project was originally to fly in 2009, but has been delayed by numerous technical issues including the destruction of the craft VSS Enterprise during a powered test flight.
