At some point I guess when you are so f-ing filthy rich you really have no clue what to do with your money. Enter Nicolas Cage. His films have grossed $3.9 billion dollars worldwide, yet somehow right now he owes $6 million in back taxes. Maybe part of that was the fact that he bought a dinosaur skull for $267,000.
In 2007, he outbid Leonardo DiCaprio for a dinosaur skull, shelling out $276,000 for the artifact.
His homes included three castles -- plus two islands in the Bahamas. Among his "dozen or so" mansions, one Bel Air home, purchased in 1998, features a billiard room with a 1955 Jaguar parked inside plus an array of "shrunken heads."
Out of his 50 cars, the most Cage ever shelled out was $495,000 on Lamborghini -- used. (Its former owner was the shah of Iran.)
Obsessed with superheroes (he was once set to star in a Superman sequel), he sold his comics collection in 1997 for $1.6 million.
While portraying an alcoholic in Leaving Las Vegas (his Oscar-winning role) in 1995, he hired an "on set drinking-consultant-poet."
