Brad Pitt spent more than $500,000 at a design exhibition in Switzerland.
Brad - whose long-term partner Angelina Jolie is pregnant with twins - made the trip from France on Tuesday for Design Miami/Basel.
Among Brad's purchases were a $293,000 marble table by designer Jeroen Verhoeven, a rug made of aluminium thread that sells at $175 per square foot and two $25,000 Ron Arad chairs. He is also said to be considering buying a gold lacquer-coated fibreglass sofa by Zaha Hadid for $300,000.
In addition to his furniture spree, Brad has recently been allowed to further explore his interest in architecture.
The 44-year-old actor has been named a design consultant on a new five-star hotel in Dubai.
Speaking about the "socially conscious" complex, Brad said: "Whilst acting is my career, architecture is my passion. Selecting this development as my first major construction project has been a simple decision.
"We will be unveiling precise plans in the next few months, but you can expect something that is not only stunning to look at, but will also be an incredible attraction to visit or stay at."

Sharon Stone has apologised again for her controversial comments about the Chinese earthquake.
The 'Basic Instinct' star - who suggested the devastating natural disaster in the Sichuan province on May 12 was "karma" for the Chinese government's treatment of Tibet - issued another apology on Wednesday (04.06.08) following her original statement of regret last week.
In her latest backtrack, she said: "There have been numerous reports about what I said in Cannes. I would like to set the record straight about what I feel in my heart and end all of the misunderstandings.
"Yes, I misspoke. I could not be more regretful of that mistake. It was unintentional. I apologise, those words were never meant to be hurtful to anyone. I am deeply saddened by the pain that this whole situation has caused the victims of the devastating earthquake in China."
Stone's original comments sparked mass outrage and were condemned by many commentators.
French fashion house Christian Dior was so appalled by what she said they dropped her from all their advertising campaigns in China.
Speaking about the earthquake, Stone, 50, initially said: "I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, 'Is that karma? When you're not nice then the bad things happen to you?' "
China has occupied Tibet since its invasion in 1950, claiming the neighbouring nation is rightfully part of China. Since the occupation began, people have campaigned to liberate Tibet and to end the human rights violations.

Here’s Jessica Simpson working her new country girl image at LAX airport.
I think this shift is a good move on her part, because there’s nothing sexier than a hot big-breasted blond in a cowboy hat.
A celebrity photographer was arrested Wednesday in Liberty, Miss., for allegedly stalking the pregnant 17-year-old and her boyfriend, Casey Aldrige, according to TMZ.com.
The photographer, Edwin Merino, who would surely just be one of the gang were the couple in Los Angeles or New York, claims he was following the engaged duo from at least 100 feet away while taking photographs. Police still arrested him at a gas station where he was shooting.
The paparazzo posted bond and is scheduled to appear in court next week.

Angelina Jolie will be on the cover of Vanity Fair Magazine for July 2008 issue. She opens up about her pregnancy, motherhood, and her always-expanding international family during the interview:
Angelina Jolie on being pregnant: "I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I'm fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depending on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody (Brad Pitt) who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy."
Angelina Jolie on Shiloh's 2006 birth in Namibia: "We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don't think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing... I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn't find it a sacrifice and I didn't find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do."
Angelina Jolie on her growing international family: "When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn't have parents. It's not a humanitarian thing, because I don't see it as a sacrifice. It's a gift. We're all lucky to have each other. I look at Shiloh — because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little — and say, 'If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?' I suppose I'm giving them the childhood I always wished I had."
Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and their child are reportedly moving to New York City as Holmes prepares to make her Broadway debut in the fall, according to Us Magazine.
“[Katie] and Tom are committed to keeping the family together, so they have to get an apartment here [in NYC],” All My Sons producer Eric Falkenstein told the New York Post.
Falkenstein said that Holmes will be perfect for the part of Ann, despite the uproar by many critics who’ve said that Holmes will be terrible on Broadway.
“Katie’s not a celebrity type,” Falkenstein says. “She’s done brilliant work in films like Pieces of April and The Ice Storm.” He went on to call Holmes a “sweet heart,” whose personality will fit perfectly with that of the character.
“Katie basically has that exact moral fiber [of her character in the play],” who “starts out as a simple, sweet, average Midwesterner, and by the finale gets up the gumption to stand and confront what’s wrong.”

Hayden Panettiere once had a lesbian experience.
The 18-year-old 'Heroes' star admitted to "experimenting" with her female friends when she was growing up.

The singer gave birth to her first child with music executive Jordan Bratman earlier this year, and the couple has since been spotted partying at Hollywood nightspots.
But Aguilera has defended her actions, insisting it is possible to juggle a social life with being a stay-at-home mom.
She tells People.com, "Once in a while, if I want to go out and have a mommy-daddy night with my husband, I am more than allowed to do that.
"I spend all day with my son. Everybody has an opinion and everybody sometimes wants to cause drama and be mean spirited. But it's something that comes with what you do and I learned that very early on."

Kate Beckinsale isn't bothered she can't cook - because she makes up for it in the bedroom.
The Pearl Harbour star admits she is a terrible wife because she cannot cook a decent meal for her husband Len Wiseman.
But she insists she makes up for it in other areas.
She tells British magazine Glamour, "I'm the worst wife in the cooking department. I always thought you can't be good at food and sex, but you can always order the food in.
"I'd rather he didn't order in the sex."
