5 Ideas That Will Make You Think About Value

By Jeffrey Luber


Many people are highly influenced by celebrities and their behavior. We place celebrities on a pedestal after watching them on television and in the movies. We go beyond their acting roles and their characters and want to know more about their private lives. Celebrity realty television shows are very popular because of this. We are willing to pay tons of money for pictures of celebrities in magazines and in turn provide the paparazzi with the incentive to continue to pry into their personal lives. People become obsessed with the celebrity life and in turn with their assets and possessions.

Television and movie stars are among the highest paid individuals in our society and the amount they receive for movie or television roles can be overwhelming to try to understand. Especially if they are considered a number one actor or actress in the business. Celebrities are able to purchase expensive assets with this disposable income that the majority of the population could not dream of owning or buying. Many of these celebrities own huge multi-million dollar mansions. Not only do celebrities have one, but most own multiple expensive homes in the most expensive places. These houses are enormous and in the best locations, like beachfront properties. Even though the housing market has crashed, celebrity homes seem to have survived. Homes formerly owned by celebrities tend to sell faster and for more money just because of the name recognition. It has the same influence whether a celebrity is currently living in and selling the home or they ever owned or lived in the home.

These homes have mutliple everything; bathrooms, bedrooms, garages, and views. Celebrity homes also often include all the extra amenities, such as tennis courts, pools, movie theatres and spas. In addition to the houses themselves being expensive, celebrity homes are filled with fine art and expensive furniture. Another common thing linked with celebrity homes are guest homes on the same property.

In addition to multiple expensive homes, celebrities usually also have multiple expensive cars, trucks and motorcycles. When you look at the popular celebrity magazines you often see them in photos in their expensive cars. People often want to buy the same kind of the cars that the celebrities have and the manufacturers see an increase in their sales because of this. In addition to cars, some celebrities own yachts, jet skis or even private jets.

There are television shows now on air that are completely devoted to showing us the lives and assets of famous celebrities. As a culture we are obsessed with celebrities because the things they have are unattainable for us.
