John Oliver did a piece on the SCOTUS. Mostly Thomas, who is arguably the most corrupt one of the bunch. But several members accept expensive gifts under the guise of "giving a friend a gift" (I forget the precise term used, but it is written into the law). Thomas is probably the most blatant.

As an aside, John Oliver offered to pay him $1M per year for the rest of his life, plus a brand new deluxe "motor coach" (valued at over $1M; to replace his cheap motor coach that a "friend" gave him for about $500K) if he retired from the Court within 30 days. And, apparently, Oliver's offer is totally legal.
