Here’s how he managed to blow through almost all of it.<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Dinosaur SkullsCage outbid Leonardo DiCaprio for a 67-million-year-old Tarbosaurus skull that was valued at $300,000. This wasn’t the only dinosaur noggin he owns… I’m guessing he uses them as extremely ornate party punch bowls.<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Two albino king cobrasSome say he used them for protection, others say they were for… sexual activities.<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Island in the BahamasWorth $7 million, Cage bought a 40-acre island called Leaf Cay south of Nassau.<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Shah of Iran’s LamboHe liked the late Shah’s Lamborghini Miura SVJ so much that he bought it for $450,000 in 1997.<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A haunted mansion in New OrleansRemember Madame LaLaurie from “American Horror Story: Coven?” Well, she was a real person, and a real crazy serial killer, and Cage bought the actual house that most of her crimes went down in. He doesn’t own it anymore, because as a cheesy ghost tour guide once told me, no one has owned it for more than 5 years since LaLaurie disappeared.<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_06.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />An octopusClearly everyone should own one of these.<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_07.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A crocodileThings are getting weirder…<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A SharkSeriously, what do you think he was planning?<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_09.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The 1st Superman comicCage used to have a comic book collection worth over $1.6 million, including Action Comics #1 which was the first appearance of the Man of Steel.<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Two European CastlesKings have one, so of course Cage had to double that. He bought an $8 million castle in Bath, and then spent millions remodeling it. Then he bought an 11th century Bavarian castle in Germany.<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A pyramid tombstoneCage decided he wanted to be buried in the famous St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans, and he already has his weird unexplained tomb there ready to go. It reads, “Omni Ab Uno,” which means “Everything From One” in Latin.<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Shrunken pygmy headsNo one really knows why he spent his money on these, but he did.<img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Other lavish purchases included luxury yachts, 30 motorcycles, 50 cars, a private jet and 15 estate homes around the world. Eventually the party ended and he went broke, and then he owed the IRS $13 million. Hopefully he’s got a handle on things now… but you live, you buy sharks, you learn. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20150615/nicholas_cage_14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
