Liesel Pritzker, heiress to the Hyatt hotel fortune

Youtube28-year-old Liesel Pritzker, best known for her feature role in the 1995 Warner Bros film A Little Princess, is one of 12 grandchildren with stakes in the enormous Hyatt hotel fortune.

In 2002, when she was a freshman at Columbia, she and her brother sued their father and other family members claiming they had been cheated out of their inheritance. The pair won a reported $560 million settlement.

Several years later she put her money to good use and spent $6.2 million to purchase a castle-like Upper West Side apartment.

But this isn't Liesel's only Manhattan spread. She also owns a $2.29 million condo near the Columbia campus. “I figured that it would make more sense to buy,” she told The New York Times. Princesses don’t rent.

Haji 'Abdul 'Azim, Prince of Brunei

YoutubeFor his 30th birthday, Prince Azim of Brunei pulled out all the stops and invited A-listers like Pamela Anderson and Marisa Tomei to an enormous celebration at the Dorchester Hotel in London.

But lavish parties have always been his thing. In 2009, the billionaire playboy reportedly threw the "Party of the Year," spending over 70,000 euros on the flowers alone.

Guests can always count on leaving the Prince's celebrations with some pretty stellar party favors, including iPods, diamond jewelry, and luxury Crème de la Mer face creams.

And if you're a real bestie, he may just spoil you rotten. Mail Online reports that the Brunei Prince gifted $6 million worth of jewels to long-time friend Mariah Carey in 1996.
