Pop music is a genre that sees people coming and going at a rapid rate, and once someone breaks out and becomes a star, they need to work even hard to make sure that they stay at the top. The ones that do are rewarded with heaps of praise and a career that will net them millions of dollars thanks to record-breaking album sales and lucrative tours that take them around the world.
Lady Gaga has seen and done it all during her time in music, and she’s given way to some iconic moments. The singer is also one heck of an actress, earning acclaim in that field, as well. With her millions, Gaga has certainly had some fun and has made some interesting purchases.
Let’s look at Gaga’s purchase of a $50,000 ghost detector.
Lady Gaga Has A Net Worth Of $320 Million
There aren’t too many pop stars in the world today that are as popular as Lady Gaga. She made millions with her music, and her seamless transition into acting definitely helped line her pockets even more. Throughout the years, the performer has made bank, and she is estimated to be worth $320 million.
Lady Gaga is estimated to have sold over 100 million records at this point in her career, making her one of the biggest performers of her era. After she broke out in the mainstream, there was simply no stopping her from becoming a primetime player for years to come. Her talent is undeniable, and what she has done since breaking out is nothing short of impressive.
Thanks to making millions of dollars, Lady Gaga has had the ability to live a life of luxury reserved for very few people. This includes spending wads of cash on things that most people can only dream of.
She Has Made Some Luxurious Purchases
Now, being worth $320 million sure does give a star some wiggle room for making major purchases, and Lady Gaga certainly has not shied away from dropping some serious cash on the things that she wants. Back in 2012, for instance, she dropped a fortune on some pieces from Michael Jackson’s personal collection.
Gaga was so thrilled about this major purchase that she took to Twitter to talk about it. It must have caught fans by surprise, but clearly, Jackson had a profound impact on Gaga and she had her eye on more than a few things. Among the things she bought for archiving were Jackson’s “Bad” jacket and his crystal glove. Those two items alone would run over $300,000 for Gaga, per Forbes.
This was a major purchase, and the star has certainly dropped more on other things. In 2014, Gaga got her hands on a property worth $22.5 million out in Malibu. The house does come with a view of the Pacific Ocean, and we have to imagine that the place brings her an incredible amount of peace of mind for the price.
There are plenty of other major purchases that Gaga has made, including spending six figures on an Alexander McQueen gown years back. Style is one thing, but the paranormal is something entirely different. Turns out, Gaga dropped a grip on a paranormal device years ago.
She Spent $50,000 On A Ghost Detector
According to Glamour, “The kooky pop singer is petrified of evil spirits and has apparently had every hotel and tour venue she's performed and stayed in scanned by a team of pro paranormal investigators before she agreed to reside there. GaGa - who reportedly believes she is the reincarnated spirit of her dead aunt - is also rumoured to have spent a whopping £30,000 on state-of-the-art Electro Magnetic Field meters to detect ghosts.”
This is quite the splash purchase, but when it comes to personal comfort after making millions of dollars, nothing is off-limits. This may sound like a work of fiction, but Gaga’s fears were confirmed by a source, per Glamour.
“She believes in paranormal activity and won't take any risks when she is on the road. It's important to her to be safe from spirits,” the source said.
Regardless of how a person feels about the paranormal, they have to give the singer some credit for doing what she needed to do. Fans are curious to know if she still uses the device at the venues she is featured in, but that remains to be seen. After spending $50,000 on the machine, we sure hope that she would still be putting it to good use. Then again, that type of money to her is not much at all.
