The Greatest Myths About Value

By Anthony Boeson


As a population we have been very influenced by the celebrity culture. We watch celebrities act on television and in movies and as a society we have placed them up on a pedestal. We go beyond their acting roles and their characters and want to know more about their private lives. In turn, celebrity realty television shows are all over the networks. The paparazzi are able to make money shooting pictures of celebrities in their private lives because we, as a society, pay money to see these pictures. Our society is insanely interested in these individuals, their lifestyles and their assets.

The amount of money that celebrities get paid is almost unimaginable to the rest of the population. This is even more extreme when they are considered a top actor or actress in the industry. With all of the money they are earning they are able to purchase assets that the majority of the population could not even dream of affording. Many of these celebrities own huge multi-million dollar mansions. In fact, most celebrities own multiple homes in ideal locations. These houses are enormous and in the best locations, like beachfront properties. Celebrity homes have managed to avoid our countries current disastrous housing market. The name recognition of a celebrity alone can drive up the cost of a house and take it off the market faster. It is the same whether a celebrity is the current owner or has ever owned the home.

There are usually lots of bedrooms, bathrooms, garages and living areas inside celebrity homes. These homes usually have all sorts of extra features as well, like home theatres, pools, tennis courts and basketball courts. Besides the actual homes themselves, celebrities spend lots of money decorating them with expensive furniture and art. Often times a celebrity home has an additional smaller guest home on the property.

Besides owning nice expensive homes, celebrities also often spend their money on expensive cars too. When you look at the popular celebrity magazines you often see them in photos in their expensive cars. Often times cars have greater sales numbers after a celebrity or many celebrities are associated with driving them and some car companies have even done better business with the public after a celebrity is seen driving in that car. Celebrities often have other modes of transportation like boats and sometimes even private jets.

We are so consumed, as a society with celebrities and their assets that there are television shows that are based on the idea of showing us where celebrities live, what they drive and other possessions that they own. The reason we are so obsessed with seeing these things, is because they are something we as a general public will never have the opportunity to own ourselves.
