If the lyrics “lashes and diamonds, ATM machines, buy myself all of my favourite things” from Grande’s hit song 7 rings didn’t spell it out for you, this pop star has a taste for the finer things in life.
Known for her iconic high ponytail, releasing two awardwinning albums in the span of six months, calling off her engagement with comedian Pete Davidson and being the number one most followed person on Instagram, the 26-year-old is living the Hollywood dream.
When a single sponsored post on Instagram can earn the songstress enough money to buy a mansion in sunny South Africa, peeking into the life and spending habits of Grande is fascinating.
A $16 million (R242m) mansion to share with her former fiancé, seven Tiffany engagement rings for her best girlfriends, a house for her pet pig and luxury Airbnb’s at a whopping $10m a night are some of her more extravagant expenses that Grande has made, but the one thing she seems to continuously splurge on is her clothes.
Most people mend their broken hearts by binge-eating ice cream, venting to friends and posting their hottest selfie to social media, so they can flaunt just what their ex is missing.
The same cannot be said for celebrities. Grande was seen “break-up shopping” on the streets of Los Angeles shortly after splitting with Davidson.
It is well known that she loves all things Chanel, which is where she went all out at the LA store, leaving with bags of designer goodies.
Grande also donates her money to charity. Most recently, she reportedly donated the profits from her Atlanta tour date to Planned Parenthood.
“Grande’s generous donation comes at a critical time in Georgia and across the country, anti-women’s health politicians are trying to ban all safe, legal abortion,” Planned Parenthood Action Fund president Dr Leana Wen said to People.
