Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage once spent $276,000 on a prehistoric dinosaur skull.

The 45-year-old outbid Titanic actor Leonardo DiCaprio for a $276,000 skull claimed to be from a prehistoric beast, reports contactmusic.com.

Cage's other extravagant purchases include a jet, two yachts, three castles, two islands in the Bahamas and a number of mansions.

His most expensive car - out of a fleet of 50 - was a $495,000 Lamborghini whose former owner was the Shah of Iran.
