From a $40 hardcover book to a $4,100 toilet.
If you’ve dreamt of booking a Broadway show, signing to a professional sports league, becoming CEO of your own company, or hosting a show on national television, you may have also spent some time imagining the many benefits that come with making it big: professional fulfillment, personal pride, critical acclaim, and, of course, a good, solid paycheck. And in some ways, fantasizing what to do with that first big chunk of money can be as exciting as doing the thing itself.
So we asked 15 notable people — who have made it as business owners, actors, screenwriters, authors, and moreto tell us about the one thing they splurged on when they finally hit the big time. Some went the classically flashy route, with gold jewelry, bottles of Champagne, and designer sunglasses. But many of them opted for more quotidian luxuries, like buttery bedsheets, a hardcover book, and a truly fantastic toilet.
Even though some of the celebrities we spoke with chafed at the idea that they’d “made it,” all were happy to share the items that they dreamt of getting for themselves — and, gratefully, finally did.“I had just sold my business and was in Dallas at a mall and saw this amazing glittering bag in the store. I wasn’t one who could afford to pay retail; an $1,800 bag was not something you could just buy. I asked my business managers if I could afford it, and it’s had tremendous meaning ever since.
