Today is Christmas and they say it is a time of giving and celebrities spare no expense when shopping for gifts. So, in the spirit of the holiday season, we give you the list of the most extravagant gifts that the stars have bought.
Angelina and Brad are no strangers to expensive gifts, including an engraved motorcycle and a 200 year old olive tree. The Oscar winning actress bought husband Brad Pitt a $1 million helicopter complete with flying lessons. She also threw in a helicopter pad installed at their home in the south of France.
Hollywood sweetheart couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are very devoted parents and this especially goes for Jennifer, who even put her career aside to raise their children. Ben has recognized this and he bought his wife a 7-carat diamond ring, reportedly “for being a good mom.”
As a thank you for her years of friendship, John Travolta bought Oprah Winfrey a $400,000 Rolls-Royce Corniche II Convertible.
After only three months of dating, Kim Kardashian bought her boyfriend Kanye West a $750,000 Lamborghini Aventador for his 35th birthday.
After tying the knot in 2006, Tom Cruise gave Katie Holmes a wedding present — a $20-million customized Gulfstream jet. Their daughter Suri is one of the most spoiled celebrity children. Christmas and birthdays present opportunities for extraordinarily lavish gifts, such as child-sized designer gowns and heels, Chloe fur coats, diamond earrings and a pony. Most notably, however, was a $24,000 playhouse Suri received from her mother last Christmas.
The talk show host has shelled out more than $750,000 to take her staff and their families on an all-expenses paid cruise around the Mediterranean. Winfrey covered the cost of their transportation, food, drinks and activities at port stops. No wonder Oprah is their favorite boss.
Jay-Z and Beyoncé are both known for their over-the-top gifts. For his 41st birthday, Knowles bought her husband the Bugatti Veyron Sport, a $2 million car that happens to be the fastest road car in the world. Meanwhile, for her 29th birthday last year, Jay-Z reportedly bought Beyoncé an island in the Florida Keys for $20 million.
Christmas presents can’t come easy when your wife is worth upwards of $500 million, but Nick Cannon proved he’s up to the task when he bought Mariah Carey a Rolls Royce Phantom. Nick spent $400,000 on the car.
In 2010 Katy Perry bought her then-husband Russell Brand a $200,000 ticket for a voyage on the Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo for a trip to space. The flight carries its passengers more than 365,000 feet into the air, where they can look down on Earth.
Even though this pair had only been dating for five months, Jessica reportedly bought Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo a speedboat that cost over $100,000 for his 28th birthday in April 2009. For her 29th birthday three months later, he broke up with her the night before.
Well, we all like making expensive gifts to the dear and close people. The income of the celebrities is considerably higher than of the simple people, consequently their gifts are more expensive that is. I like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pit gifts to each other. Suri is definitely a very spoiled young lay and I am sure she doesn’t need heels. Was sad o read about Jessica Simpson,w ho got such a breaking heart gift on her 29th birthday eve. And I was surprised by Kim Kardashina’s generosity to Kanye West when they were dating just for 3 months
