The old saying that you can't buy love still stands true today and no one knows it better than the celebrities on this list. Some of the wealthiest people on the planet can't always get what they want and this is especially true when it comes to love. Falling in love and staying in love remains to be one of the most mysterious aspects of life. And although these stars have achieved an incredible amount of success, there's still something missing: love. These are the men and women who seemingly have all the money in the world, and no one to share it with.

Nicolas Cage's Ex Is Stalking His New Flame

His net worth went from $150 million down to $25 million after he threw money around as if it grows on trees. He's also been married and divorced three times, including once to Lisa Marie Presley.
People were confused when he got together with a waitress named Alice Kim. She's 21 years younger than him, and upon their separation, allegedly started stalking Cage's new girlfriend, Vickie Park. This led to Park filing a restraining order against Cage's ex-wife in September 2018. We'll see what happens, but it's not looking good for Cage.

Actor Robert De Niro may have plenty of metal on his mantel — he's a winner of two Academy Awards, a Golden Globe, and even a Presidential Medal of Freedom — but his life may feel emptier today after splitting from his wife.
In November 2018, De Niro confirmed that he and his wife of eleven years, Grace Hightower, had split. Their relationship had been on the rocks for a while. De Niro actually filed for divorce back in 1999, but they ended up reconciling. Now to be twice-divorced with a net worth of $300 million, we have our fingers crossed De Niro finds love again at 75 years old.

Howard Stern interviewed Murray about his love life and asked if he's lonely. "I don't think I'm lonely," Murray said, "It would be nice to go to some of these things and have a date... to have someone to bring along." Murray also admitted that he doesn't think he has a healthy enough relationship with himself, so "it's better than I don't have a different person."
Katy Perry Is Back With Orlando Bloom...For Now
Artist Katy Perry has an incredibly high net worth of $125 million. She's an extremely busy lady who has worked hard for her money. When it comes to love, Perry prefers to date other celebrities like herself. But that hasn't seemed to work out too well.
Her previous relationships include Robert Pattinson, John Mayer, Robert Ackroyd, and her ex-husband, Russell Brand, who was a bit of a jerk when the two went their separate ways. It's been reported that Perry got back together with ex-beau Orlando Bloom in March 2018. We'll have to wait and see if the second time around works better for the couple.
Elon Musk's Love Life Is Messy
Elon Musk is one of the richest men in the world and a bachelor, too. With an estimated net worth of $22.4 billion, he was previously married to writer Justine Wilson. The couple had twins, then triplets. All boys. He's wished his ex the best and also expressed that he was devastated after his split from actress Amber Heard.
Musk is a man who strongly desires a companion. In late 2017, he told Rolling Stone, "If I'm not in love, if I'm not with a long-term companion, I cannot be happy. Going to sleep alone kills me. It's not like I don't know what that feels like: Being in a big empty house, and the footsteps echoing through the hallway, no one there - and no one on the pillow next to you. [Expletive.] How do you make yourself happy in a situation like that?"

Her list of boyfriends include actor Edward Furlong, poker player Rick Salomon, singer Nick Carter, guitarist Benji Madden, Vegas nightclub owner Cy Waits, and others.

To make matters worse, Blackstock quickly began dating again after the split. And his new girlfriend was none other than Reba's best friend, Laura Stroud. That has to hurt.

In the same month the couple split, Grande got together with SNL comedian Pete Davidson. And just a month after that, they were engaged and the news was everywhere. They both got tattoos dedicated to each other, but by October 2018, the wedding was called off, and both were headed back to the tattoo shop to get cover-ups.
Larry Ellison Is 0 for 4
It's not that Oracle co-founder and chairman Larry Ellison has a hard time finding gorgeous women willing to keep him company.

He's also been married and divorced four times.
He's had two marriages that each lasted seven years, one marriage that lasted three, and another that lasted just one (they split when his company took off).

Madonna is arguably one of the most famous people on the planet. She's been topping the charts and pushing boundaries since the early '80s and has amassed a fortune that estimated to be in the ballpark of $800 million. But even with all that money, Madonna might be lonely.
The Queen of Pop has been married twice, once to actor Sean Penn, and once to Guy Richie. It's been two decades since Madonna has claimed someone as her partner since she broke up with Carlos Leon in 1997.

Everyone Is Praying For Sandra Bullock
Much like Jennifer Aniston, for the longest time, Sandra Bullock was one of the most desired bachelorettes in Hollywood.
