I had to vote for the belt buckle, but the Aerosmith, 50 Cent, Don Henley bat mitzvah he threw for his daughter is almost as tacky.

His lawyers also defended the hiring of prostitutes for employees and board members, arguing in court papers that it represented a legitimate business expense “if Mr. Brooks thought such services could motivate his employees and make them more productive.”

the brazenness of this is just so awesome in some way

I just find the juxtaposition of the items for his family so amazing. It gives such a strange sort of insight into the daily life of the Brooks'.

I mean:

university textbooks for his daughter, pornographic videos for his son, plastic surgery for his wife, a burial plot for his mother

Just... wow.
