And then one day, when I made enough money, I just paid the whole mortgage off completely!"
Nicole Kidman
Coming clean. Aussie actress Nicole Kidman revealed that she spent her first big paycheck on something very practical. "I bought my mom and dad a washing machine," the 58-year-old revealed.

Lil Nas X
Right up his alley. Old Town Road singer Lil Nas X didn't, um, spare any expense when he hit it big. "I took my family bowling," the 27-year-old said of celebrating his success. "Like, everybody. It was a lot of us, not just my immediate family!" How striking!
