PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Celine Dion is a water hog. The Palm
Beach Post did a study of local water usage and found Celine Dion's
5.7 acres in Jupiter, Florida, used about 6.5 million gallons of
water in a year.
That's more than 250 times the amount of water the average
resident uses, or equivalent to filling a 50-gallon bathtub every
four minutes.
A 9,800-square-foot home is under construction at the site.
Representatives for Dion did not respond to requests for comment.
Tiger Woods was second on newspaper's list, using about 3.7
million gallons of water in a year. A spokesman for Woods'
charitable foundation says much of that went to new landscaping.

no i am not spoiled i work very hard to pay for my water and dont consider it anyones business how much water i use i wish i could afford a house like she has that is what america is all about she is very talented and God has blessed her
like i said i dont pay her bill why would you care what she paid as long as the water company did not send you the bill and as far as being spoiled goes try not paying that bill and see what the water company does they show no favors how do you get spoiled out of that
