25. Nicolas Cage's Haunted House

We know we said we were going to try to contain Nicolas Cage's excesses to one entry on this list, but it just hasn't been possible. The man makes too many weird and wonderful buys for us not to come back to him and tell you what else he's spent his movie money on! We're not totally sure we'd spend the night in a haunted house, even if someone paid us money to do so. Cage doesn't subscribe to that theory. He'd happily spend a night in a haunted house for free. He's already done more than that - he's bought one of his very own!

It cost Cage $3.4m to buy the famous LaLaurie mansion in New Orleans, which is so famously haunted that it served a location in 'American Horror Story: Coven.' Cage was fascinated by the structure of the house, as well as the stories behind it. He never personally experienced anything while in there though, and lost interest in it. He relinquished it in 2009.
