What are the first things celebrities buy after becoming rich?

 1. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer bought a brand new Mercedes.

"I was driving a Honda hatchback that Keenen Ivory Wayans gave me when I moved here when I was a dancer on In Living Color. And I drove it to all the auditions."

I want to say what I can say. If you have that much money... why not? A car can be a good investment.

2. Tiffany Haddish

Apparently, she went straight to the bank and opened a checking account. She deposited $120 into the account. She then went to the store and bought a box of Snickers, lollipops, Jolly Rancher sticks, Blow Pops, and Corn Nuts! I'm sure any normal person would do that too, lol! Whether they're a celebrity or not.

3. Brie Larson

Brie mentions buying a blue electric guitar. Knowing me and my love for playing guitar, I'd probably do the same. Except I'd buy an acoustic guitar.

4. Donald Glover

Donald Glover also bought candy with his first big paycheck! He says he wasn't allowed to eat Gushers as a child, so he bought Gushers and other candy.

5. Caleb McLaughlin

Caleb spent his money on sneakers. Being a teenager, this is not surprising.

"There were these sneakers called Jordan Wings that I bought," he says.

6. Kelly Rowland

With her first paycheck, Kelly went to the store and bought everything her mother had told her as a child was too expensive. Honestly, that seems like the most logical thing to do.

7. Serena Williams

“I never touched [my first million-dollar paycheck] – I just put it in the bank. And I remember going through the drive-thru to deposit my check and they said, ‘I think you need to come in for this,’ and I ended up going in.”

Wouldn't it be crazy to deposit that much money? I don't think I'd know what to do with that much money, lol!

8. Nicole Kidman

Nicole bought her mom and dad a washer and dryer. That's so lovely! Later, she says she bought a pair of boots.
