UK Celebrity News, Fashion Tips, Gossip and Pictures

While most of us worry about the credit crunch and panic about where our next meal is coming from, many hip-hop stars are not feeling the bite on their bling. With many now owning their own record labels, luxury houses and apartments, night clubs, and some rather expensive jewelry, the multimillion dollar stars are set through this groveling recession.

So set, in fact that their spending habits are going through the roof. Take a look at these extravagant celeb spends and prepare to feel the tug on the purse strings even more. 

50 cent and more

50 cent is known as the priciest rapper on the planet and worth over £60 million.

The stars collection boasts of a Ferrari Enzo worth £1 million, as well as three other Ferraris’, two Jags, three Bentleys, six Lamborghinis and two Jets. 

At his 48,000-square-foot mansion, the star has his own lake, waterfall and in-house club, complete with 52-rooms, servants’ quarters and a boat house, all costing a staggering £2.5million.

Jay-Z liked it enough he put two rings on it

Multimillion dollar rapper, Jay Z, proves his babe Beyonce is more than enough by splashing most of his cash on the R&B star.

Beyonce’s engagement ring cost a whopping £3.5million, which she believes is too expensive to wear out so she had a cheaper version made to wear instead. 

Kanye believe it?

A shoe fetish is generally deemed as a female trait, but rapper Kanye boasts a collection of 450 pairs of designer shoes, with a resident ‘shoe keeper’ to specifically look after his shoes.

With a keen appetite for UK takeaways, the ‘Golddigger’ star ordered an Indian takeaway from a restaurant in Wales, to be delivered to his pad in New York, costing a mega £2,775.

P DIDDY

Sean Combs, as his real name goes, is worth a mega £25 million and owns two luxury homes costing a combined £22 million.

Pretty reasonable for a hip hop star, but his demands on tour is what gives him the diva bling factor. Travelling with a personal entourage of 30, P Diddy takes his own barber, the only man allowed to touch his hair, alongside a team to lay out all of his 80 black and white suits for him to choose every morning. On standby is a barman to mix his favourite cocktail and a guy to carry his gem encrusted iPod. Nice!

Akon

Akon doesn’t waste any time on measly one off diamonds, instead he just buys a whole mine instead. 

The ‘Right Now’ star bought a whole South African diamond mine all for himself in 2007.
