How much did Nicolas Cage pay for his tomb?
The fact that Nicolas Cage bought a nine-foot-tall, pyramid-shaped mausoleum in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, New Orleans, has been widely reported. He purchased the tomb for an undisclosed sum of money.
Why is Nicolas Cage’s tomb a pyramid?
There is no formal word from Nicolas Cage himself explaining why he chose a pyramid for his grave.
However, some theorize that he might have been motivated by his role as Benjamin Franklin Gates in the 2004 action movie “National Treasure,” in which his character looks for a treasure that the Founding Fathers hid and discovered using clues hidden in historical artefacts, including the Great Seal of the United States, which has a pyramid design.
