(CNN) Rich movie stars spend their money exactly how you'd think. Russell Crowe, for instance, dropped $35,000 on a dinosaur head he saw sitting on display in Leonardo DiCaprio's house.

Just like that.

"I bought it for my kids, and you know, cut myself a little bit of slack here, there was a bunch of vodka involved in the transaction and it happened at Leonardo's house ," Crowe told Howard Stern Wednesday on his SiriusXM Satellite show.

"So you were drinking at Leonardo's house, you guys were having a fun night, and you say to Leonardo, 'Gee, this is fantastic a dinosaur head'?" Stern asked him.

"No, I think he started the conversation, he's like, 'I got this one, but there's another one coming on the market that I really want so I'm trying to sell this one' and I said, 'Well, I'll buy it' I said 'How much you want for it?' He was pretty cool about it, he said, 'Just give me what I paid for it,' and I think he paid 30, 35 grand for it," Crowe explained.
