Cage owned 15 properties, including a $25 million waterfront home in Newport Beach, California, a $15.7 million estate in Newport, Rhode Island, and an $8.5 million abode in Las Vegas. He even purchased two castles in Europe and the infamous LaLaurie mansion in New Orleans, known as one of the most haunted houses in America, for $3.4 million.
Apart from real estate, Cage’s eccentric spending habits extended to pets, including a $150,000 pet octopus, rare snakes, and an African crow. He even purchased a seven-million-year-old dinosaur skull for $276,000, but it turned out to be stolen, and he had to return it to the Mongolian government. He also bought a nine-foot-tall cement pyramid tomb at St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans.
Cage is no stranger to expensive cars and paid almost double the estimated value of a rare 1971 Lamborghini Miura SVJ owned by the late Shah of Iran in 1997, which he bid for by phone. He recently conducted the CBS interview from his brand-new gold Lamborghini, which he purchased in tribute to a 1968 movie directed by Federico Fellini.
