Whos Paying for the Private Jet?

One of the major perks of being a celebrity is the free stuff. Just ask the famous attendees of this week's VMA music works. Flying around with the entourage can get expensive, and don't except these kiddies to be sitting in coach. Private jets all the way. But are all these extravegences ruining them?

M.C. Hammer was known to have a 40 person entourage which he flew around in his chartered private jet. If he needed more room, he'd get another private jet.

Offering an escape from paparazzi, peace and relaxation private jets have become a favorite toy of the rich and the famous. But how much do these private jets cost? Only the idiots pay for their own flights. Just by showing up to an award show, you'll most likely come across a private jet coupon in your grab bag.

Unlike Hammer, stars like Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis, Sly Stallone and John Travolta get their studios to pay for their 60 to 90 thousand dollar private jets. Travolta even convinced his studio to give him a personal private jet for his own use 24/7. There's also been rumors that one famous couple held a fit when their studio would not pay for a private jet to fly their luggage from L.A. to Europe. Private jets for luggage?
