What was the first thing these 9 celebrities bought?
It’s fun to imagine what you would do it you won the Mega Bucks jackpot with hundreds of millions of dollars. Imagine all of the things you would buy, a mansion, a yacht, a new racy sports car or a motorcycle? Perhaps, luxury clothes and handbags and jewelry?
For famous Hollywood actors who didn’t exactly win the the official lottery but you could say they won “life’s lottery”. That means they made it to the big time, whether it was a big time movie role or a starring role on a popular tv show or hosting your own talk show. A big time paycheck was going to be cashed.
Some stars went big with their first purchase, others kept it modest
I don’t think that I would go huge on my first paycheck, it would be more likely a case of what do I need as opposed to what do I want.
Of course, what one person needs might not be exactly what everyone needs. For sure I would be in the real estate market, especially in Hollywood, because the rent rates are ridiculous and it seems like it would be a smart investment.

Arnold Schwarzenegger made his first million dollars in the 1970’s before he became box office gold by investing all of his Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympian winnings into commercial real estate.

And that is what he continued to invest in during his amazing run as the number one box office attraction of the 80’s and 90’s
