They’ve got all the money in the world – so what do they spend it on? This time, Madonna.She came to New York City with just $35 in her pocket, checking hats for $2.90 an hour. Now she pulls in $43 million a year and has an estimated net worth of $315 million.

Second only to JK Rowling, the brain behind the Harry Potter books, Madonna is the highest-paid woman in England.

When it comes to shopping, Madonna has invested her wealth in homes around the globe and extravagant art collections. Madonna and Guy Richie’s week-long wedding extravaganza in Scotland included $1,000-a-night rooms for everyone for a week. She paid for Jimmy Choo’s publicist Marilyn Heston to deliver eight pairs of the designer’s wedding pumps to Scotland for her to choose from on her big day. The queen of pop spends more on private Pilates sessions annually than a minimum-wage worker makes all year. Instead of shopping in stores, Madonna browses through special ‘look books’ from designers. She has been known to spend $60,000 in a single flip-through.
