Imagine spending a cool grand on a holiday gift and thinking it’s a big deal. Now, welcome to Hollywood – where the stars play in a whole different league. Here, the holiday spirit comes with a splash of extravagance and a dash of 'do-it-big' attitude. Some celebs roll out gifts that are as unique and grand as their personalities.
For Suri Cruise's sixth Christmas back in 2012, her mom Katie Holmes decided to gift her something truly magical. According to Huffington Post, Holmes shelled out $24,000 for a custom playhouse that's more like a mini-mansion. It came decked out with electricity, water, an eat-in kitchen, and even a media room. Quite something when you realize a typical kid's playhouse might set you back just a fraction of that.
Ben Affleck sure knows how to treat his 'princess' right. CheatSheet reported that during their first romance, Ben gifted Jennifer Lopez a toilet seat worth $105,000. This wasn’t just any seat – it was encrusted with rubies, diamonds, emeralds, and pearls, partially designed by Ben himself. “When you’re with the queen, even bathroom breaks have to be royal,” a source quipped.
Now, this wasn’t technically a Christmas gift, but close enough! Beyonce decided to surprise Jay-Z on his 41st birthday in December 2010 with none other than a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. PageSix tells us this speed demon can hit over 250 mph and came with a near $2 million price tag. Beyonce had to plan this a year in advance – a testament to the love and attention she pours into her gifts.
When Angelina Jolie was with Brad Pitt, she took inspiration from his love of architecture and gifted him a waterfall in 2011. Her muse was the famous Frank Lloyd Wright home 'Fallingwater,' which Brad adored. While the price of this nature-infused gift remains unknown, PageSix hinted at its grandeur, suggesting it was more than just a splash of water.
In the world of Hollywood, holiday gifts aren't just a token of affection – they're a testament to creativity and luxury, often leaving us in awe of their sheer scale.
