Ah, to be rich and eco-conscious in Hollywood today. Don't get me wrong—I love that Leo tools around in a Prius and Daryl Hannah drives a biodiesel El Camino. But still, sometimes I'm amazed by how much they'll pay for simple household fixtures. As part of an eco-fabulous remodeling project at his home, Leonardo DiCaprio has installed a $3,200 Toto toilet, which is fully loaded with a seat warmer, automatic flusher, and remote control. That's right—a remote control. Plus, the toilet seat automatically flips up when the user approaches it. Pretty high tech, huh?
While the toilet—reported to be the Toto Neorest 500—is supposedly also eco-friendly, at 1.6 gpf, it's still only average for water use. I think he may have done better with a dual flush toilet or even a composting toilet, though I don't know how well that would go over in LA.
To see a picture of the new toilet (yes, I know it's not as exciting as a picture of Leo, but still), just read more.
Here it is, in all its understated glory. What do you think? Is $3200 too much to pay for a throne?

uhm yes it is a little on the expensive side. i was expecting to see a bigger toilet, but that picture was kind of anti-climatic.
