Sometimes we have to wonder if those celebrity types have more money than sense...
Especially after we discovered that model Hailey Baldwin, daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and graphic designer Kennya, bought the Shiba Inu pup as a 25th anniversary present to her parents costing a massive $2,500.
Yep, that's £1,614.14 or the equivalent of just over two months rent if you are living in London.
According to her Instagram account, Hailey’s designer doggie was bought to prevent her parents getting bored after the great 25. The brunette beauty showed off the photogenic pooch, telling her parents: ‘I bought u a puppy to keep the next couple of years extra exciting’.
We wonder what she’ll buy for their 50 year anniversary! However, despite the generous gesture, the Japanese breed is renowned for being difficult to train. Let’s hope that journeying to New York to retrieve the pet was worth it!
Hailey is not the only one to have splashed the cash on a pet before. Mariah Carey is said to spend $47, 000 per year grooming her 8 dogs. According to a source, her pampered pups get regular spa treatment, as well as travelling in style.
Mariah supposedly pays for her doggies to ‘travel first class with her on a whim’. If this isn’t extreme enough, she is said to employ a chauffeur to drive them around at approximately $672 a ride.
In 2014, dog-lover Paris Hilton famously bought the world’s smallest Pomeranian, weighing less than 1 pound, for a whopping $13, 000. Her adoration for the petite puppy is palpable, with her naming him ‘Mr Amazing’.
We pray that these dogs can sing and dance and feed their owners grapes.
