Emma Watson – France

At 18 years old, Emma Watson was already an A-list superstar. After scoring straight As in her A-Levels, she decided to treat herself and splurged $1.2 million on a ski chalet in France. Not only that, but the actress also spent a fortune on furniture and renovations to the property.

It wasn’t just a lavish purchase; it was also a birthday present for herself. It’s reported that her tight schedule didn’t give her enough time to celebrate her birthday, so she decided to get herself a unique present—her own ski chalet. How apt for a rising star like Watson!
