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.

Eccentric is a word that could be used to describe Nicolas Cage. The actor has led an interesting life and it's all played out in the public eye. 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.

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?"
