Spencer Pratt’s Crypto Crash: Top 5 Things You Need to Know About His $2.5 Million Hobby
* Spencer Pratt, the reality TV star from "The Hills," just revealed he spent over $2 million on a single Pokemon card. The card is a rare Charizard, and he says it’s worth even more now, proving his “investment” strategy is all about nostalgia.
* He admits he’s been buying and selling rare Pokemon cards like a day trader, turning his hobby into a side hustle. Pratt claims he’s made back his initial investment three times over by flipping other cards on eBay.
* The backlash is fierce online—fans are calling him tone-deaf for flaunting such massive spending during a cost-of-living crisis. Some are even comparing him to a crypto bro who just swapped Bitcoin for cardboard.
* Pratt’s wife, Heidi Montag, is reportedly fine with it, according to him. He says she’s “supportive” because the cards are kept in a bank vault, not their living room, making it more like a “passion investment” than clutter.
* The real twist: he now plans to launch a charity auction for one of his duplicates, specifically to help struggling families. Critics are watching closely, wondering if this is a genuine redemption arc or just another publicity stunt.
