We may see more of this kind of thing in the future. With Elon Musk and Richard Branson competing to create the first space-flights for civilians, a ticket to fly into orbit and see the world from high above will be the next must-have status symbol for any celebrity worth their salt. Katy Perry was ahead of the trend when she bought a ticket for her then-partner Russell Brand all the way back in 2010. She chose Branson's 'Virgin' company as her 'airline,' and spent $200,000 on securing the ticket.
Nobody seems quite sure what happened next. Virgin haven't started their tourist space program yet, and Brand and Perry split up two years later. There's every chance he still has the ticket, and he's just waiting on a date for his voyage. Many of his detractors in the British tabloid press will probably hope that if he does ever fly up there, he decides to stay!
