No one lives as large as Tinkerbell Hilton, Paris's mini-pooch, who dresses in Chanel couture and travels by way of a Louis Vuitton Carrier. And no one travels quite like Donald Trump whose 727 Jet features gold-plated seat-belt buckles and one of a kind oil paintings and costs $2 million a year just for the upkeep. And speaking of basic upkeep, Fab celebs pay for their every need with the Centurian Card, the world's most exclusive power card. With an unlimited credit line, stars like Jessica Simpson and Jerry Seinfeld can purchase anything from a Fendi purse to a yacht on the spot.
