10 Weirdest Things Famous Actors Did With Their Money

Possibly the most unethical purchase on this list, Akon confessed to purchasing an actual African diamond mine in 2007.

"Confessed" here being apt, because up until that point he ardently denied the claims, including accusations that the diamonds were, in fact, blood diamonds.

For those not in the know, "blood diamonds" is a term used to highlight the negative effects of the trade, and can also refer to diamonds pulled from war zones. If you've seen Uncut Gems with Adam Sandler, or Die Another Day, chances are you're familiar with the concept.

Now, there's nothing wrong with a little jewelry purchase every now and again, but sourcing your own bling by taking advantage of Africa's natural resources and workers is a little sketchy to say the least.

Now, no one but Akon (and his miners) can say whether these diamonds are, in fact, blood diamonds, but given the fact that Akon is on record as saying he doesn't even believe blood diamonds exist, and that it's just something that happens on tv, you can probably see why some folks are a teeny bit concerned.

Oh, and he also has a whole petrol station in his house. Not even going to speculate on where he sources his oil from.
