It's time to remember that the stars are living lives that are nothing like our own! Let's start with one of the wildest stories we've ever seen on Wonderwall.com — courtesy of rapper Lil Uzi Vert. The music star truly committed to showing off bling in a new way when he announced that he'd implanted a $24 million natural pink diamond in his forehead. Yes, instead of having the massive diamond incorporated into a ring or necklace, he opted to have it put in his forehead on Feb. 2. When asked if it cost more than his car, he said, "Yes my Bugatti can't even pay for it… all my cars together, plus home." He later took to social media to share the proof and has since posted plenty of photos and videos showing off the massive pink diamond that now rests between his eyebrows. Keep reading to see more ways the stars are nothing like us these days…

The Weeknd had the honor of performing at this year's Super Bowl halftime show on Feb. 7, and the musician took it so seriously that he invested $7 million of his own money! He told Billboard that he wanted to make the performance a "cinematic experience" and his manager revealed that the Canadian pop star put up the extra funds from his own pocket in addition to doing six months of "Zoom calls and email chains" to plan the epic performance.

We all know that Paris Hilton's life is drastically different than the rest of ours, but this certainly solidifies it! Days before Carter Reum proposed with a huge diamond ring on a private island a few days ahead of her 40th birthday in February, she gave him a very, very big birthday gift of his own to commemorate their love. No, it wasn't a framed print of a selfie. She commissioned an enormous life-sized painting that showed the venture capitalist kissing her on the forehead. Just what every boyfriend wants?

If you starred in one of the biggest blockbusters of all time, would you decorate your house in the film's memorabilia? Leonardo DiCaprio allegedly did! Interior designer Megan Weaver recently revealed that while working with the movie star back in the '90s, she briefly stayed at his beach home, where she made a shocking discovery. "…Everything was 'Titanic,'" Megan explained on the "Behind the Velvet Rope" podcast. "'Titanic' towels, 'Titanic' posters, 'Titanic' everywhere."

It's good to be Stormi Webster. The tot, who turned 3 on Feb. 1, was gifted not one, not two, but 17 pairs of shoes from Nike. The shoes include Air Jordans, Nike Dunks and pairs from collaborations with other brands like Off-White and Stussy, with each pair ranging in price from $100 to over $200. Must be nice to be Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's daughter!

What did you do for your first Valentine's Day with your significant other? We bet Michael B. Jordan has you beat: He rented out an entire aquarium for new love Lori Harvey! Lori shared scenes from the extravagant date on Instagram, explaining how they went on a private tour and then ate dinner brought in from Nobu at an elaborate set-up underneath the swimming fish. Their day ended in an equally over-the-top hotel room filled to the brim with flowers.

For most of us, an unauthorized charge of $10 on our credit cards wouldn't go unnoticed, but when you're as rich as Kevin Hart, it takes a lot more charges to make a splash. When his personal shopper allegedly started stealing from him, it took a while for anyone to realize the purported culprit made more than $1 million in unauthorized purchases. The personal shopper, Dylan Jason Syer — who started working with the comedy star in 2015 — is now facing grand larceny and other charges. Among the items he allegedly purchased? $240,000 worth of jewelry and watches, fine art and Louis Vuitton bags.

Oh, to be a celebrity pup… particularly Martha Stewart's! The domestic icon in January revealed on Instagram that her French bulldogs rock blinged-out collars, and though she didn't exactly remember who made them, the options are pretty insane. A follower asked where she bought the diamond collars and Martha replied, "Van Cleef or Cartier I cannot remember."

Back in November 2020, Rita Ora didn't let a coronavirus lockdown stop her 30th birthday celebrations. The singer, who was in London at the time, reportedly offered a restaurant $7,000 to go against strict government lockdown rules and host her birthday soiree for guests including Cara Delevingne and model sister Poppy Delevingne. All the details were revealed in 2021, including that a rep for Rita who organized the event has since been let go. As for the singer herself? She's apologized for making a "serious and inexcusable error of judgement" for hosting the party.

Chrissy Teigen is no stranger to sharing crazy tales with fans on Twitter, and she didn't hold back this month either. On Feb. 3, the model and cookbook author answered the question "What's the most expensive thing you've eaten that you thought sucked" with a story about dining out with hubby John Legend and being recommended a bottle of Cabernet by their waiter. They weren't informed of the price tag until the bill came, and it ended up being a whopping $13,000. "HOW DO YOU CASUALLY RECOMMEND THAT WINE," Chrissy tweeted in all caps.

When Cardi B wants a purse, she gets it! The rapper added to her Hermes Birkin collection this month, revealing on Feb. 9 that she paid triple for a very specific version of the purse after an extensive search that involved calling "every" Hermes store. She captioned a video of the bag, "I'm in love," adding "I was searching the world for it."

Ever tried to impersonate a celebrity? Surprisingly, Dakota Johnson has! The actress revealed on "The Drew Barrymore Show" that she used to use George Clooney's name to get dinner reservations… without even knowing him! But here's where this story differs: Eventually, she ended up meeting George. He knew about her reservation antics and told her he was "OK" with it!

Next up? Some stars who are using their exorbitant wealth for good! It was revealed this month that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively donated $1 million to food banks — not once but twice! Yep, the couple recently pledged $500,000 to both Feeding America and Food Banks Canada for the second time during the COVID-19 pandemic, making their charitable contributions to the cause total $2 million in less than a year! Food Banks Canada announced the news, sharing that the movie stars' first donations "inspired so many Canadians to donate to their local food banks and show their support to their neighbours during these critical times." They went on to thank them once more for this second round of donations, writing, "Our heartfelt thanks and gratitude ONCE AGAIN to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively for pledging another $500K in support of our COVID-19 Response Funds. You continue to be not only our favourite Canadian, but also our favourite superhero 😉 (sorry, Hugh Jackman)."

What kind of things did your boyfriend buy you after dating for a few months? A house? Well, that's reportedly what Minka Kelly is getting from beau Trevor Noah! People magazine reported that the host of "The Daily Show" host recently spent $27.5 million on a mansion for himself and his main squeeze to share.

Kim Kardashian West took to Instagram on Feb. 8 to show fans a painting created by her 7-year-old daughter, North West — a typical mom thing to do. The only difference? This painting of a lake is insanely impressive… and many fans thought it looked too good to have been painted by a little girl. After receiving a lot of commentary, Kim took to her Instagram Story to write: "My daughter and her best friend have been taking a serious oil painting class where their talents and creativity are being encouraged and nurtured. North worked incredibly hard on her painting, which took several weeks to complete. As a proud mom, I wanted to share her work with everyone. I'm seeing op-ed pieces in the media and social media from grown adults breaking down whether or not my child actually painted this. How dare you see children doing awesome things and then try to accuse them of NOT being awesome!?!?!"

Despite not dating for very long, Avril Lavigne's new beau, rapper Mod Sun, has already inked the singer's name on the back of his neck. The duo had been linked for nearly three months at the time, with Avril popping up on Mod Sun's social media in December 2020. They're also collaborating on his new song, "Flames."

Not only did Halsey buy a $10 million mansion in January — she bought it from a fellow pop star! Yep, the musician purchased her home from Liam Payne. The former One Direction singer's fancy pad includes five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a home theater, a library and a wine cellar, all located in Calabasas, California. Looks like she'll have plenty of room to nest as she prepares to welcome her first child later this year.
