Coming Up on VH1 December 10 -December 16 2004 40 Gets Fabulous on VH1

Premiering Sunday December 12 8:30 PM* "The Fabulous Life Presents: The Fabulous 40"

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- From 40 to 1, we'll show you the biggest, and baddest expenses ever when "The Fabulous Life Presents: The Fabulous 40." Premiering Sunday, December 12 at 8:30 p.m., this 2-hour special takes a look back at Fab-history and looks forward into the future of Fabulous in this countdown of the most incredible items on the planet. From diamond encrusted iPods to $2000 cocktails, we'll show you what a billion dollars and a famous face really gets you. No one lives as large as Tinkerbell Hilton, Paris's mini-pooch, who dresses in Chanel couture and travels by way of a Louis Vuitton Carrier. And no one travels quite like Donald Trump whose 727 Jet features gold-plated seat-belt buckles and one of a kind oil paintings and costs $2 million a year just for the upkeep. And speaking of basic upkeep, Fab celebs pay for their every need with the Centurian Card, the world's most exclusive power card. With an unlimited credit line, stars like Jessica Simpson and Jerry Seinfeld can purchase anything from a Fendi purse to a yacht on the spot. But if you've really got the cash to spare, you can spend it on an island. Oprah Winfrey rents the private island of Musha Cay for $25,000 a day and Johnny Depp owns his own in the Bahamas.
