DITA VON TEESE IS A SPENDAHOLIC
DITA VON TEESE IS A SPENDAHOLIC
Burlesque star DITA VON TEESE enjoys extravagant shopping sprees and once spent $70,000 (£43,000) on a single dress.
Marilyn Manson's dancer ex-wife insists she frequently gets carried away and splurges four and five figure sums.
She says, "I know how to spend extravagantly - I think nothing of spending $8,000 on a corset for my show. My accountant once said he couldn't understand how I spent $70,000 on a single dress, but then he came to my show and saw how lavish it was and told me afterwards that now he understood."
But the 37 year old doesn't rely on credit cards to buy items - after struggling with debt as a teen: "I learned when I was 18 about not ruining your credit rating spending on cards. When I first had credit cards I let a large balance accrue. It took me a long time to shake off the debt and for a while I had a very low credit score and couldn't get a car loan.
"Now I really value my spotless record – I pay my balances off every month and that means I can buy whatever I want. And I don't focus on what my card limits are – I have girlfriends who see they have a $10,000 limit and max it out as if it's their natural born right." (IG/WNWC/MT)
