Cars

Nicolas Cage used to have an insane car collection. Well, it’s quite not sure whether the man still has it.

Following his IRS debt scandal, he had to sell off several of his rare automobiles to dig out more than $6.3 million.

Cage really loves exotic cars, especially Italian.

Islands

Lifestyle

Nicolas Cage is famous for his extravagant lifestyle.

During the peak of his career, Nicolas earned more than $200 million for films, and as his earnings went up, so did his spending habit.

Between 2000 and 2007, he spent almost all of his fortune on materialistic items without thinking of the future.

Some of his craziest purchases included a 67 million years old Tyrannosaurus Bataar skull worth about $276,000.

However, it was later found out that it was actually stolen from the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and illegally sold in the States. Nicolas later agreed to let Mongolia have its national treasure back.

Similarly, he also spent about $150,000 to buy a pet Octopus and about the same amount to buy two Albino King Cobras. He named the Cobras Sheba and Moby. He claimed that studying totally different living beings helped him with his acting.

However, after his financial breakdown, he returned his “pets” to the zoo from where he purchased them.

He also purchased nine Rolls Royces and three mansions for $34 million in total.

In 2009 when the IRS filed a federal tax on one of his properties in New Orleans, it was revealed that he had failed to pay over $6.2 million in income taxes.

Following that, he sued his business manager for $20 million, accusing him of fraud and negligence.

Comic Books

Apart from that, Nicolas Cage is also known for his passion for comic books. In fact, his name itself is taken from the Marvel Comics hero Luke Cage.

The actor auctioned his collection of rare comic books in 2002 at Heritage Collection Galleries for an astonishing $1.6 million.

However, that did not include a mint condition copy of Action Comics that features the first-ever Superman appearance.

It was stolen from his house in LA in 2000. The same comics were found at a storage locker in San Fernando Valley in 2011.

It had been sold for $2.6 million. That is more than 1,340% of appreciation because Cage had purchased that for $150,000 in 1997.

Vacations

Even though his spending habit was outrageous and caught a lot of media attention his vacation details have not been disclosed.

But if we think about it, the man had a private jet and a private island so he did not have a need to go elsewhere to enjoy his spare time really.

However, Nicolas was spotted with his ex-wife vacationing in hotel Amalfi, Italy.

Charity

Nicolas Cage is pretty generous when it comes to helping those in need.

United Nations awarded Cage the Humanitarian Award and also appointed him as the UN ambassador for Global Justice in 2009 and again in 2013.
