POPS EXTRAVAGANT BIG SPENDERS WITH MONEY TO BURN
The flash harries admit to spending enormous amounts on bar bills,
restaurants
,clothes, cars jewellery and Houses.
Among the millionaire popstars biggest splashes were 5,200E on a single bar
bill
4,000E on a leather jacket.
And the band also disclose they get lots of free designer clothes and even cars,
asked what the biggest bar bill tab they had to personally fork out for was
Bryan McFadden replied "45,200E" while Shane Filan disclosed his was "3,400E"
"One night we went to the bar just for a few beers and when we picked up the
bill a few hours later it was 1,700E because people had been putting their
drinks on our tab" explains Shane.
Mark Feehily stressed "I'm not flash enough to go and buy drinks for everyone in
a bar when I don't even know them, It annoys me when everyone expects it and
thinks 'He's loaded he can get the drinks in'"
Nicky Byrne adds "If you put your credit card behind the bar total strangers put
drinks on it, thats why I've never put my card behind the bar-its that simple"
The group concur Kian is the 'Stingiest' with his money when it comes to
picking up the tab." I'm careful with my money" says Kian. Shane pointed out
"Actually I think Mark could be the stingiest- he's more likely to keep his head
down and his wallet in his pocket"
Nicky added "Once we were in a restaurant with some friends and we got the
biggest bill ever, so we put our credit cards in a pile to pull one out to see
who'd pay, We were all hoping it would be Kian-and it was!"
But Shane insisted that everyone paid their own share as he had to fork out on his
own previously and felt it was unfair.
Shane says he has "at least 8 wardrobes full of clothes and 150 leather
jackets at home", He adds "I bought a Gucci jacket for 3,200E and only wore it
twice-its madness!"
Kian notes "I always check the price beforehand, if its daft money I wont buy
it. I wouldn't spend 2,000E on a leather jacket now, for example three years ago I
had 6 leather jackets sitting in the wardrobe"
Nicky says "I'm not the most fashion conscious, but I go shopping every few
weeks, a few years Ago I spent 4,000E on a Gucci leather jacket and its the best
buy I've ever invested in"
But Shane points out he can be sensible when spending money on clothes
too-Thanks to his fiancé Gillian Walsh
"I don't care about Labels at all" he insists, " Gillian shops for me and comes
back with with some Jeans for 7E,a shirt for 29E and a jacket for 285E.Shes
excellent at shopping, She buys me loads of total bargains."
Bryan says he's "Flash with my cash when it comes to sport-I play a lot of
golf" Despite their millions the group love their freebies
"We use to get loads of Adidas, which was great" says Kian. "Dolce & Gabanna give us
loads of clothes which is fantastic but we don't get as much anymore"
Bryan adds "I've got given a watch, and I'm suppose to be getting a smart car soon"
"A number of the band own Ferraris while all own or are in the process of building multi million euro mansions. Some of us are married, some of us are getting married" explains Nicky "all of us have more money than we started out with and we own our own houses, but we still count ourselves very lucky lads"
Last Sunday Shane spent 20,000 on his stag night in London booking a pricey private box for his party at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea V Man Utd game (He will marry Gillian on December 28)
