Compared to the conditions in which ordinary staff members work, life at Gold Base is reported to be more comfortable for Miscavige and celebrity Scientologists. Most staff were not permitted to have their own vehicles, but Miscavige was reported to have a customized Yamaha motorcycle which he rode around the base as well as a range of other vehicles, including a Mazda Miata roadster, a Range Rover luxury SUV and a high-performance BMW M6 as well as a custom-made armored GMC van equipped as a mobile office. According to Claire Headley, who managed Miscavige's finances from 2000 to 2004, his food costs ranged between $3,000 to $20,000 a week, with food flown in fresh from the East Coast or Canada. His villa is said to have a $150,000 sound system and its own private screening room.
