Purchases included $2 million in fine jewelry and $35,000 on limousines in New York, a $3.5 million Michelangelo painting in Rome, and $2,000 in chewing gum during a stop at San Francisco International Airport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mary Todd Lincoln<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092152\/640px-Mary_Todd_Lincoln2crop.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19808 pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"640px-Mary_Todd_Lincoln2crop\"  width=\"600\"  height=\"775\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092152\/640px-Mary_Todd_Lincoln2crop.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092152\/640px-Mary_Todd_Lincoln2crop.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092152\/640px-Mary_Todd_Lincoln2crop-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092152\/640px-Mary_Todd_Lincoln2crop-380x491.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092152\/640px-Mary_Todd_Lincoln2crop-80x103.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092152\/640px-Mary_Todd_Lincoln2crop-62x80.jpg 62w\" ><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The former First Lady and wife of Abraham Lincoln had a bit of a spending problem. In less than a year, Mary Todd Lincoln quickly went through the four-year White House budget for home repairs and d\u00e9cor, spending most of it on fine china and French wallpaper. In order to salvage her debt, Lincoln sold White House furniture, padded expense accounts, took bribes from lobbyists, and even ordered the groundskeepers to sell manure from the presidential stables. However, this didn\u2019t stop Mrs. Lincoln from adding a $2,000 dress and 300 pairs of kid gloves to her lavish wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>William Randolph Hearst<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19805\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19805\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092147\/hearst.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"wp-image-19805 size-full pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092147\/hearst-80x55.jpg\"  alt=\"Pool at The Hearst Castle\"  width=\"750\"  height=\"516\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092147\/hearst.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092147\/hearst.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092147\/hearst-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092147\/hearst-380x261.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/22092147\/hearst-80x55.jpg 80w\" ><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19805\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pool at the Hearst Castle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After his mother\u2019s death in 1919, William Randolph Hearst went on a shopping spree with $11 million of his inheritance.
