Most of the celebrities are known for spending thousands of dollars in cars but the case differs for actress Jane Fonda. In an interview with a journalist from the London-based Daily Mail, Jane mentioned about the amount she spends on dental care. She said, “See these teeth? They cost $55,000. It was teeth or a new car — and I opted for the teeth.” Guess she prefers to have thousands dollar worth smile than thousands dollar worth four-wheelers.
