12 Celebrities Who Charged High Prices For Products
Some celebrities will slap their names on literally anything. From food collabs to furniture, nothing is safe. And the worst part? They'll charge a ridiculous price, and fans will still buy it out.
Whether it's a merch item no one asked for, or a fast food themed pillow that costs five times the amount of your meal, these are the most hilariously overpriced and unhinged items celebrities have sold to their fans.
Frank Ocean: $25,570 "XXXL H-Bone Ring"
In 2022, Frank Oceans' luxury brand Homer released a collection of diamond encrusted accessories, one of which was the "XXXL H-Bone Ring." This luxury NSFW ring was casually dropped and somehow forgotten after just three years. But I'll never forget, Frank.
Gwyneth Paltrow: $75 "This Smells Like My Vagina" Candle
If you weren't already aware, Gwyneth Paltrow owns a wellness brand named Goop, which is known for some very unconventional products. The "This Smells Like My Vagina" candle was sold at $75 back in 2020, and of course, it sold out almost instantly. If you think this is weird, wait till you hear about her jade egg controversy...
KISS: $3,900 "KISS Forever" Branded Coffin
Back in the day, KISS slapped their name on literally anything possible. From waffle makers to pinball machines, they have been through it all. Released in 2001, the KISS casket is exactly what it sounds like: a branded coffin designed for fans. It's even been gifted to rock 'n' rollers who have chosen to be buried in them.
Travis Scott: $90 McDonald's McNugget Pillow
In 2020, Travis Scott sold a 3-foot long McDonald's McNugget shaped pillow for a whopping price of $90. It was a huge success, although we can't say the same for the pillow's quality. After shipping to fans' doors, many commented having buyer's remorse. Yikes...
Eminem: $313 Bricks
To mark the 16th anniversary of "The Marshall Mathers LP" in 2016, Eminem sold actual bricks from his demolished childhood home for $313 each. A portion of the proceeds went to the Marshall Mathers Foundation, so at least it was partly for a good cause.
Rihanna: $25 'Ketchup or Makeup?' Lip Gloss
In a collab with MSCHF, Rihanna's makeup brand, Fenty Beauty, launched a set of six ketchup-style packets in 2022 — five containing lip gloss, and one with actual ketchup. Although this is the cheapest item on the list, is $25 worth it for a spec of usable lip gloss and a possible ketchup mishap? That's debatable.
Justin Timberlake: $350 'Livin' Off the Land' Axe
Yes, you read that right. During his "Man of the Woods" era in 2018, Justin Timberlake held a pop-up merch store filled with items relating to his new album. One of which was an axe that he sold for $350. At least he was catering to a specific audience?
Paris Hilton: $30 "Unicorn Mist"
This glittery facial spray was marketed as an "all-natural" pre-makeup refresher in 2017. In reality, the spray contained irritating ingredients. Not hot, Paris.
Taylor Swift: $400 Acoustic Guitar
In 2024, Taylor Swift's merch drop included a $50 soy candle, a $120 "Cowboy Like Me" jacket, and Taylor Swift branded acoustic guitars — all of which sparked controversy for being overpriced and questionably made. Hope there wasn't any "Bad Blood" with fans at those prices!
DJ Khaled: $55 "Another One" Slides
In 2015, DJ Khaled launched some iconic rubber slides. With three colour options and classic DJ Khaled sayings like "Another One" and "Bless Up," the famous record producer had EVERYONE covered.
Kim Kardashian: $98 Butt-Shaped Pool Floatie
In the late 2010s, Kim Kardashian was profiting off of everything mobile-related — From emojis to her hit game: "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood." In 2017, she dropped one of her most iconic merch items ever: the butt-shaped pool floatie — inspired by her Kimoji, of course — retailing for $98!
Grimes: $300,000 "Newborn 2" NFT Art
Grimes dove headfirst into NFTs in 2021 with her digital art collection "WarNymph" — a cyber-baby series that somehow brought her a total of $5.8 million from just 10 pieces. One of the works, "Newborn 2," was initially traded for $300,000 and later relisted for $2.5 million. Now those are some wild stats.
So there you have it, celebrities are out here monetizing the most absurd ideas. I'm both confused yet impressed that most of these items sold out at the time of their releases...
Would you buy any of these? Let us know your thoughts in the comments — and if you remember any weird celebrity products, we wanna hear them too!
