Americans' 10 Biggest Wastes of Money

"...paid $1,000-an-hour to attend a card show".

If Bonds did a show, he would probably charge $400-450 per signature and if he did 800 signatures, that's $320,000 for three hours worth of work and take into consideration mail order items, Bonds could probably take home $400,000 for four hours for signing his name. $100,000 per hour!

Paying $700 is simply moronic. Vintage singles can be had for around $200.

There are a lot of things that you could consider "wastes of money" but depending on how much you have in the bank, is it a waste of money? You ever see the MTV show "Cribs" and what some of these rappers spend their money on?

I was watching one show on E! talking about how foolishly some rich folks spend money and designer Ralph Lauren went through a "ranching" phase and had to have a ranch out in the South-west. He paid an artist $200,000 to create a fence around his home and even paid someone to make sure that the doors squeak the way they would in the old west.
