When normal people splurge it’s often on something small and somewhat affordable like an extra lunch out during the week or a nice pair of shoes. When celebrities splurge it’s almost always over-the-top and incredibly extravagant. The following celebrities have taken splurging to a whole new level with their out-of-control purchases. Who knew Damien Hirst even customized baby monitors?

Lady Gaga, the singer and artist, is a gentle soul. So gentle in fact that she believes she is sensitive to becoming possessed by spirits. That’s right, Gaga is afraid of ghosts. She spent $50,000 on electro-magnetic field equipment to check the energy levels in her homes, tour buses, and hotel rooms to make sure there are no spirits around her.
