7 Things Mariah Carey Could Buy with the Massive Amount of Money She Spends on Her Dogs
Oh, celebrities and their ludicrously spoiled dogs. The stories of their absurd pampering just never get old! According to a report in Us Weekly, Mariah Carey spends $46K a year on spa treatments for her dogs. She does have eight of them, after all. This news comes to us from an article breaking down the irreconcilable differences between the singer and Nick Cannon that led to their divorce.
Obviously, her naming choices for her pups, all Jack Russell Terriers, aren't exactly points of concern in the separation, but these pets arguably have the best names ever. Just a sampling of the puppy names: "Squeak E. Beans, the Good Reverend Pow Jackson, and Mutley P. Gore Jackson III." Take notes, guys...
Even with those fancy-pants names, from the POV of someone who eats a bag of $1.99 tortilla chips for dinner, that's a lot of clams to drop on canine shiatsu. Here are seven things that you can invest in with the yearly gross spending that Mariah Carey devotes to pet manicures.
The BMW electric car
