Brad Pitt Spends Half A Mil Furniture Shopping
Tags: Brad Pitt
Above is a a photo of the $300,000 marble table Brad Pitt purchased at the Design Miami Basel fair in Switzerland yesterday. But don’t think the bargain-hunting stopped there — oh, no. Brad dropped nearly half a million dollars furniture-shopping at the prestigious art and design exhibition. According to NY Post says
[Brad] bought a hollow white marble rococo-style table by Dutch designer Jeroen Verhoeven for $293,000; two Ron Arad chairs [rumored to retail for $25,000 a piece]; and ordered “Silver Sky,” a rug made of aluminum thread [that] sells for $175 a square foot. Pitt also showed interest in a [$300,000] gold lacquer-coated fiberglass sofa by Zaha Hadid.
Perhaps I was mistaken, but I was under the impression that four children under the age of seven also live with Brad. And there’s two more on the way. Given that marble has a porosity ratio of almost 2% — making it one of the most absorbent of all metamorphic stones used in furtniture-making — and that Kool-Aid is second only to the blood the Devil uses for signing contracts in the indelibility department, this makes as much sense as buying a birth control for a Spears or a book for a Hilton.

Inevitable Red Kool-Aid spills * 6 kids + ridiculously expensive marble table = Brad Pitt is really f*cking stupid.

That white table looks like an oversized lego piece that got put into the microwave. You think if you were going to drop that kind of money on furniture, it would actually look nice. That lamp looks like someone molded and tarred dogshit, and that chair looks like it went through an atomic blast.

I thought it looked like a giant piece of PVC that someone warped with a torch.

This is a joke, right? That’s not real furniture that someone — anyone! — paid actual money for… right?
