BUT according to Forbes, Jessica earned $4 million in 2004. Therefore her $2000 sheets are about .05% of her yearly earnings. Most of use wouldn't blink if I said I bought a new set of sheets today-nice egyptian cotton - high thread count and I paid $125 for the king set---- well if the average person is earning $50,000 (totally random number) then they would have spend .25% of their yearly incomes. As a % to earnings the $125 pair were more pricey. (yes- my current job title is accountant!)

I think part of the problem Nick had with it is that she was in major debt to her record label at the time, probably a few million. He most likely wanted her to work to pay some of that off than to spend it on $1200 sheets.
