What Stars Spend - Sarah Jessica Parker
They've got all the money in the world - so what do they spend it on? This time, Sarah Jessica Parker.
She's known for being a down-to-earth star who's careful with her money, but Sarah Jessica Parker has one serious weakness - shoes.
"I have far too many shoes - I mean really, really too many shoes," says the Sex and the City star. "I've been wearing Manolo Blahniks for 16, 17 years. I'm not proud of my habit, but it's what I do with my disposable income. I can run a marathon. I can jump puddles, I can do anything in heels - the higher the better."
Sarah Jessica Parker dates her shoe obsession back to her childhood, when her hard-up mother bought her just two pairs a year and dressed her in rummage sale outfits. "That's why I have such a weird relationship with money," she says. "It comes from this desire to save, save, save and yet, on the other hand, I have been working so hard I think, why can't I have another pair of those Manolo Blahniks?"
Sarah Jessica Parker is estimated to have around 100 pairs of them, which range from $300 to $1,000, and she wears them at all times, even though they give her bunions and Achilles injuries.
