Billionaires with endless surplus cash to toss around often buy eccentric oddities to amuse themselves, or just because they can. Gold plated ear buds, exotic African animals for their personal zoo, private jets, private islands . . .

Billionaire husband and wife team Sheldon and Miriam Adelson are so very rich, with almost $22 billion in the bank, the 8th wealthiest persons in America weren't happy with their other fancy toys, so they bought themselves a whole, entire person of their very own!
