Because you're friggin' rich and where's the point in having millions and millions of £/$/€ and not spend what you can on a house or a car and anything else you can safely throw money at?
Obv. if you have the money you should donate to charities etc. but doing that shouldn't stop you enjoying your money and life.

Man I'd laugh if he was a member here. He'd be all "Help my P1i won't turn on!"
And we'd ignore him. Thats what we'd do.

I think Ranjith has hit the nail on the head. How any "celebrity" can justify getting paid millions of pounds per year for what they actually do is beyond me. Hard work? Long hours? Yeah, right.
Although I would also argue that their place in the public spotlight is more valuable than their money when it comes to helping poorer countries. Let's face it; you give money to charity, the charity takes half of it and the other half goes to the country's government which then either keeps it for themselves or spends it on weapons. Anything other than helping people, put it that way.
Bono, Sting etc. may be complete pains in the butt these days with their charity work but at least they are trying to use their position to spread awareness of the real causes of poverty and get governments to do something about it.

Slight flaw in this cyco....
if your shooting a film, a day can go on for 18-19-20 hours, once a set has been set uop or you've shut New York down, you get one shot at doing your scene, can take an age

Yes, but do they do it six days a week for 48 weeks per year like, say, a junior doctor or trainee nurse?
That's what I mean by long hours!

Its their money, they can do whatever the heck they want with it. How often do you give to the poor, and how much? I don't really get this whole celebrity wasting money bull crap to be honest. 2000 pair of shoes is normal for a billionaire but wastage for an average joe.
Secondly, how can you be so sure she didn't give to a charity already? Just because it didn't make headlines doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I don't get what you mean by "wasting."
I mean, why is everyone complaining? If they are swimming in money, why not buy massive houses? Why not buy flashy cars? I think there is a degree of jellousy in this thread.
Muhammad-Oli, if you made 30 million a year, would'nt you buy huge mansions and fast cars? I sure would. And you have to remember, by purchasing these houses, they are also free from normal people who will bug them day in and day out.
Ranjith, overpaid? It actualy depends. Most people associate the rich, with people with all the girls, with mansions shaded by palm trees. Imagine, getting up at 1 o clock to do a shoot, filming day in and day out 24/7 sometimes for years for one movie. Imagine performing and performing, then doing it infront of millions of people. Imagine living a life 24'7 with constant crooks, and drugs. Most people forget all of this.
In my opinion "wasting" money is spending over your budget on things you don't need. If you actualy have all the money, then I don't actualy think wasting is much of an issue.
I mean whats the point of having all that money if your not gonna spend it? If that was the case, im almost certain this thread would of been named: "Celebs are to stingy!"
