6. Nicolas Cage Bought (And Then Had To Give Back) A Dinosaur Skull For $276,000

This purchase was particularly unusual because Cage didn’t even get to keep it!

After all, he did become known for a role in which he tried to steal the Constitution!

The villa itself is pretty darn luxe, and in addition to being two stores high, includes a balcony, a crystal chandelier, and perfect pup-sized furniture the dogs can lounge on.
