“That’s not luxury, it’s cruelty with money”: the controversy over the million-dollar shark tank Jason Derulo installed beneath his living room floor

A million-dollar aquarium, installed beneath the glass floor of his living room, with sharks and stingrays swimming while guests walk above them. 🦈 That’s what Jason Derulo showed the world from his $15 million mansion in Tarzana, California, during a tour filmed with streamer N3ON in April 2025.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) was quick to respond: it accused the singer of normalizing the use of wild animals as luxury decor and of setting a “bad example” for the world. They pointed out that many shark species are endangered because of overfishing and pollution. 🌊 But on social media, the story split in two: there are those who say Derulo has every right if he complies with the law, and those who believe money cannot justify putting a wild animal in the floor of your house.

Was what Derulo did a millionaire’s whim within his rights, or is there a line luxury should not cross? 👇
