As a biographic film is about to demonstrate, British rock star Elton John has lived a life full of excess. He's currently on his final world tour before he enters retirement, which will mark the end of fifty years in the music business as one of the most famous performers of all time. Once upon a time, by his own admission, he blew a lot of his fortune on drink and drugs. These days he's found a healthier - but equally as expensive - habit.
During a court battle between John and his former managers (something he has in common with Johnny Depp), documents were produced which revealed that the entertainer had spent more than $300,000 on flowers in a little more than two years. Flowers can make any home and garden look and smell beautiful, but $300,000 would surely be enough to fill an entire botanical garden full of them! John didn't feel the need to justify his purchases in court, stating that he simply loves flowers, he can afford to buy them, and that's all there is to it.
