Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld's iPod collection has ballooned to 70, according to a profile in the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph. At last count, he owned 40 iPods.

"His idea of relaxation, a word he seems to dislike, is to lie in his bath listening to his iPod. One of his 70 iPods, that is.

'I have some white ones but lots of metallic pinks, blues. I have had every single CD I have downloaded. I enjoy gadgets.'
