How Much Would You Pay For A Good Haircut?
Is $24,000 too much to pay for a haircut? The obvious answer is yes! But not when you are the Sultan of Brunei. The 61-year-old, who is said to be worth an estimated $24 billion, paid exactly that to have his hairstylist Ken Modestou cut his hair. The British barber has been cutting the Sultan's hair for the past 16 years, and while he charges his regular clients about $60 per cut, it looks like the Sultan kicks him a little more change. (The $24,000 fee includes a luxury flight on a Singapore airline to the Sultan's home in the Middle East, sumptuous hotel accommodations for a few nights and several thousand dollars as the actual fee of the haircut.) Not a bad gig if you can get it, right?
But all this makes us consider how much we shell out for our own cuts. As anyone who's suffered major post-snip trauma knows, sometimes it pays to spend a little extra. Then again, sometimes expensive isn't always best. What's the most you've spent on a hairdo?--Zandile Blay for The Frisky
