1.
Nicolas Cage was once known as one of the highest-paid actors of all time, making over $150 million between 1996 and 2011. Here’s how he managed to blow through almost all of it. -
2.
Dinosaur Skulls: Cage outbid Leonardo DiCaprio for a 67-million-year-old Tarbosaurus skull that was valued at $300,000. This wasn’t the only dinosaur noggin he owns… I’m guessing he uses them as extremely ornate party punch bowls. -
3.
Two albino king cobras: Some say he used them for protection, others say they were for… sexual activities. -
4.
Island in the Bahamas: Worth $7 million, Cage bought a 40-acre island called Leaf Cay south of Nassau. -
5.
The Shah of Iran’s Lambo: He liked the late Shah’s Lamborghini Miura SVJ so much that he bought it for $450,000 in 1997. -
6.
A haunted mansion in New Orleans: Remember Madame LaLaurie from “American Horror Story: Coven?” Well, she was a real person, and a real crazy serial killer, and Cage bought the actual house that most of her crimes went down in. He doesn’t own it anymore, because as a cheesy ghost tour guide once told me, no one has owned it for more than 5 years since LaLaurie disappeared. -
7.
An octopus, Clearly everyone should own one of these. -
8.
A crocodile, Things are getting weirder… -
9.
A Shark, Seriously, what do you think he was planning? -
10.
The 1st Superman comic: Cage used to have a comic book collection worth over $1.6 million, including Action Comics #1 which was the first appearance of the Man of Steel. -
11.
Two European Castles: Kings have one, so of course Cage had to double that. He bought an $8 million castle in Bath, and then spent millions remodeling it. Then he bought an 11th century Bavarian castle in Germany. -
12.
A pyramid tombstone: Cage decided he wanted to be buried in the famous St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans, and he already has his weird unexplained tomb there ready to go. It reads, “Omni Ab Uno,” which means “Everything From One” in Latin. -
13.
Shrunken pygmy heads, No one really knows why he spent his money on these, but he did. -
14.
Other lavish purchases included luxury yachts, 30 motorcycles, 50 cars, a private jet and 15 estate homes around the world. Eventually the party ended and he went broke, and then he owed the IRS $13 million. Hopefully he’s got a handle on things now… but you live, you buy sharks, you learn. -
15.
Maybe he should find a way to profit from the glorification of his face on the internet.
