Katie Holmes Singlehandedly Shores Up The New York Economy
In just six months, Katie Holmes has spent more money than most people can hope to earn in a lifetime.
New York, where she’s been living while appearing on Broadway in All My Sons, is the lucky beneficiary of her largesse. She’s reportedly dropped approximately $14.4M since she moved there in July.
Now, to be perfectly fair, the vast majority of that has gone to real estate. Katie and hubby Tom Cruise purchased three additional apartments in the building where they already owned property. The rest supposedly breaks down as follows:
– $13,987 on child care and taking [Suri] out
– an estimated $7,315 on dining out at top restaurants such as brasserie Balthazar, and sushi restaurant Nobu
– more than $17,000 on clothes for Holmes and Suri from shops like Hermes and Bonpoint
– and $5,415 on cultural activities, including a trip to Broadway show The Little Mermaid and to see Tina Turner perform at Madison Square Garden.
Something about this list doesn’t add up – well, several things, actually. When are they paying for child care? Suri is with them all the time! And they must have spent that entire $17K on clothes for Suri, because Katie’s style has gone entirely down the toilet ever since she landed in New York!
Anyhow, thanks to her spending habits, the New York Post has dubbed Katie “Manhattan’s Most Valued Shopper.” Gotta love that tax revenue!
