We do not know about you, but we constantly wonder about all the crazy things that famous athletes buy or build. They can pay for houses that look like it was the brainchild of Dr. Frankenstein himself. Some of these folks are not afraid to pay for things that seemingly defy logic or shell out an insane amount of money for a normal object. Considering how much money they make, it makes sense that we do not share the same spending habits. To be honest, we also get crazy ideas every now and then. The only difference would be that they can make their wildest dreams a reality!

Tom Brady – Luxurious Gulfstream G550, $50 Million

On the topic of crazy purchases made by athletes, we can start with this one. Star quarterback Tom Brady is one of the biggest stars in the NFL at the moment. The New England Patriots player decided to treat himself to the luxurious car that is his Gulfstream G550. When you make $26 million a year, you can buy stuff like this. Together with his supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen, he gets to go from one place to another in style since they have a jet of their own. It comes with a $50 million price tag. This does not compare to his assets, which are estimated to be worth $180 million.
