Tom Cruise may be the Scientology Jesus, but that doesn't mean he's living like a poor carpenter from ancient Judea. On the contrary, dude likes to flash his cash. It's an ego thing apparently. You know, over-compensation for being an insecure little midget. A source explained to Star Magazine:
Tom is really into money. He has no problem spending it. It makes him feel powerful. He loves to brag about his Porsches, his homes, his planes and his motorcycles.
"Yeah I got me a sweet new ride. Um, why do you keep glancing at my crotch?"
Tom doesn't only blow his cash on fancy toys and other things to help him get over having a tiny penis however. He's also very giving, and even has an assistant carry around $100 bills to give people who are helpful to him and Katie as they go about their daily business.
Sure Tom - hand money out to the paupers. That'll make them love you.
Of course, there's a lot of other stuff Tom uses his money for too - crazy stuff he doesn't want anyone to know about. Crabbie has done some digging (in Tom's garbage) and retrieved a list of some of these wacky expenditures:
- Large crate of glow-in-the-dark dashboard Xenu figurines: $5,000
