Lawyer, oil executive, governor, actor, peanut farmer. While recent past presidents have held many titles, none could boast the title of billionaire.

As America’s first billionaire president, Donald Trump has received a great deal of attention regarding his spending habits. Unsurprisingly, many of his favorite things are costly. However, there are a number of items Trump buys on the regular that even the common man can afford.

From high-price luxuries to inexpensive grocery store items, here are a few of the ways Trump spends his fortune.

Outfitting his Boeing 757-200

Declared the Trump Force One during the campaign, the president’s personal plane of choice is a 757-200 purchased from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in 2010. Trump claims to have spent $100 million on this ride, but a CNBC report asserts that he paid less than $50 million. According to Forbes, operating expenses for a plane this size total roughly $8,000 to $13,000 per hour.

Most 757-200 jets seat more than 220 passengers, but Trump’s is equipped for just 43 people. After purchasing it from Allen, Trump spent $10 million on renovations, including adding gold seatbelt buckles, gold service buttons and a 24-carat, gold-plated sink. The jet is also equipped with a state-of-the-art multimedia system and plush leather chairs for lounging.

Chowing down on fast food

A fast food aficionado, Trump is loud and proud about his affection for eateries like McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken. During a February 2016 town hall at the University of South Carolina, he revealed that the “fish delight” is his favorite choice from McDonald’s.

McDonald’s does not offer a “fish delight” menu item; however, it is likely the president was referring to the restaurant’s Filet-O-Fish sandwich. The sandwich costs around $4.89, rising to $7.59 with fries and a drink.

Purchasing luxury cars

Trump, who had two chauffeurs usher him around New York City in a limo during his civilian days, doesn’t do much driving. But he still boasts a pricey collection of luxury cars. The auto enthusiast’s fleet includes a 2015 Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Mercedes-Benz S600, which start at $400,000 and $100,000, respectively, according to the Kelley Blue Book. However, it’s unlikely Trump settled for the basic package on either purchase.

Washing his famous hair

Since Trump’s mane is a key element of his signature look, you might think he washes it with an exclusive shampoo, but you’d be wrong.

In a 2011 Rolling Stone interview, Trump said he uses Head & Shoulders to keep his locks clean. The anti-dandruff shampoo can be purchased at most drugstores for about $1.99.

Shampoo isn’t the only thing Trump refuses to pay top dollar for. In fact, buying generic is an important money lesson Trump shares in the book “Trump: Think Like a Billionaire.”

Buying paintings and portraits of himself

Many art collectors lean toward a certain artistic movement. For Trump, that genre is himself.

In 2013, Trump directed art collector pal Stewart Rahr to spend $100,000 on his behalf for a 9-foot oil painting of him by artist William Quigley at a charity auction in the Hamptons. In 2007, he reportedly purchased a $20,000 portrait of himself during a fundraising auction at his Mar-a-Lago estate. However, the funds for this piece came from the Donald J. Trump Foundation, not Trump’s own pocketbook, according to The Washington Post. As of September 2016, the portrait hangs in the Trump National Golf Club Westchester.

Snacking on chips and diet soda

Some billionaires snack on caviar and Cristal, but not Trump. The White House is fully stocked with Lay’s Potato Chips for when he needs a refresher. One bag of Lay’s costs just $2.50.

Trump claims to have abstained from alcohol his entire life. However, in a 2012 interview with CNBC, he admitted to being a fan of all kinds of soda. A 24-pack of Diet Coke costs around $8, making each can just 33 cents.
