Gift-giving is an important custom that is heavily ingrained in our culture. We give gifts to our friends and family for various occasions such as birthdays and Christmas in order to show them that we care for them. And we give our partners gifts for their birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries and of course, Valentine’s Day, to show them how special they are to us and our lives. Sometimes we also give our partners gifts for no reason whatsoever just to let them know that we love them no matter the day of the year.

Of course, celebrities also give each other gifts but their gifts are far more luxurious and opulent than any of our gifts ever will be. And that’s not surprising – after all, most celebrities have much more money than we ever will and they are willing to spend it on seemingly frivolous things such as unnecessary gifts.

Thus, below we have compiled a list of the most ridiculously extravagant gifts that celebrities have gifted their partners. Sure, these gifts certainly show love and affection, but are they really necessary? We’re not so sure that one must spend millions of dollars to show love and affection.

Angelina Jolie Bought Brad Pitt A Helicopter

A couple of years ago news that the actress Angelina Jolie bought her husband Brad Pitt a helicopter worth $1.6 million made the headlines. A source close to the couple told The Sun –

“They’ve had a helicopter pad installed in the grounds of their south of France home, Chateau Miraval. So Ange thought it would be nice to buy Brad a helicopter as a surprise present. In particular, they would like to be able to fly to and from Cannes."

But it wasn’t just the helicopter that Pitt received for apparently no occasion – Jolie also got him flying lessons just to be on the safe side – “But even though Brad has his private pilot’s license, he still needs to take a few flying lessons–which he’ll start straight away."

Kim Kardashian Rented Out A Staples Centre For Kanye West

It’s not just kids who like themed birthday parties. Apparently adults, and in particular, celebrities are also fans of them too. Take Kanye West for example. For his 38^th birthday his loving wife Kim Kardashian rented out the Staples Center so that he could pretend that he is a professional basketball player.

A source close to the couple said – “Kim rented out the Staples Center so Kanye and his boys could play an NBA-style game with real refs and Laker girls. John Salley is the announcer. Houston Rockets player James Harden and rapper 2 Chainz are the coaches. John Legend sang the national anthem."

Jay Z Bought Beyonce A Dragon Egg From Game Of Thrones

In a 2015 interview with Harper’s Bazaar Emilia Clarke, the actress who plays Daenerys Targaryen confessed that she loved the dragon eggs from the show so much she even tried to steal one for herself. She also added that she heard that Jay Z bought Beyonce one of the eggs –

“Apparently Jay Z bought one for Beyonce. I don't know. They are really, really, really expensive and they are really f---ing heavy and serious works of art," she added.

It seems that the whole world went crazy for the TV series Game of Thrones. And we can understand the obsession – it’s an insanely cool TV show so we’re not surprised to learn that celebrities such as Jay Z and Beyonce are also avid fans of the show.

Jude Law Bought Sienna Miller A Grand Piano And A Diamond Ring

In 2010 the actor Jude Law gave his then partner Sienna Miller a grand piano for Christmas. You think that’s a pretty extravagant gift? Well, apparently Law didn’t. So he also hid a diamond and emerald ring inside the piano.

A source close to the couple said at the time – “Sienna played the piano as a little girl but hasn't kept up with lessons. Jude chose a fantastic old grand and had it professionally restored and tuned as a surprise gift for her. Sienna wept after opening up the piano lid and discovering a wooden box - made from the same wood as the piano - containing the ring.”

David Beckham Bought Victoria Beckham A Winery

Both David Beckham and Victoria Beckham love wine. So they were pretty happy when David signed to play with Real Madrid because it meant moving to Spain, the second largest producer of wine. Apparently, while living in Spain the couple became wine buffs so it wasn’t that surprising when in 2008 David bought Victoria a Napa Valley winery.

It is said that instead of just telling his wife about the extravagant purchase he handed her a bottle of wine that had a label with her name on it.

The couple has been relatively quiet about the purchase. Indeed, no one even knows the exact location of the winery.

Jay Z Bought Beyonce $350,000 Worth Of Birkin Bags

Celebrities often buy each other extravagant gifts for Christmas. Take Jay Z for example. For Christmas in 2010 he bought his wife Beyonce a few Birkin bags. So, how much did these Birkin bags cost? $350,000!

"Jay was in a private room of Hermes doing last-minute shopping. He had a guard standing watch outside. He spent $350,000 on Birkin bags, among other things."

According to that source, these bags were nothing more than a last minute purchase. We really can't relate. We’re sure Beyonce will have enough handbags to last her a lifetime. Or at least we hope so!

Jennifer Lopez Got Ben Affleck A Bentley

Back when the actor Ben Affleck and the singer Jennifer Lopez were dating, Lopez got Affleck a rather extravagant gift. What gift was it, you may be wondering? A $300,000 Bentley! When the pair separated Lopez did not ask for the car back and Affleck did not offer to return it either.

Instead, he later decided to sell it. According to America’s In Touch magazine, the actor did not want to attract too much attention with a public auction and thus was looking at selling his car to private collectors instead. He also claimed that he would donate the proceeds from the car to a children’s hospital located in Boston, Massachusetts.

James Righton Bought Keira Knightley A $4,000 Olive Tree

While an olive tree may not sound like a particularly luxurious or exuberant gift you have to admit that spending over $4,000 for an olive tree is quite self-indulgent. So, who bought the olive tree for whom?

In 2013 James Righton bought a 100 year old olive tree for his wife Keira Knightley. Being the romantic that he is, he also had their initials and the date of their wedding carved on it.

A source close to the couple said – “James had it planted in the back garden of her home in France on the day of the wedding," a source said. "He had carved their initials in a heart and showed her in front of everyone. She collapsed into fits of giggles, it was very sweet."

Robert Pattinson Bought Kristen Stewart A $40,000 Bentley Pen

Imagine spending $40,000 on a pen. Sounds ridiculous, right? Well that’s exactly how much the actor Robert Pattinson spent on a pen for his ex-girlfriend and actress Kirsten Stewart. To be fair, it wasn’t just any pen. It was a Bentley pen. And it wasn’t like it was a gift for no occasion: it was Stewart’s 23^rd birthday.

Before you roll your eyes and claim that a pen is the most thoughtless and boring gift a person could come up with, bear in mind that Stewart collects pens and that Pattinson had it engraved.

A source close to the couple said – “Kristen has always collected pens, and has a variety of stylish ones. Rob decided to go big for her birthday this year and brought her a limited edition white gold Tibaldi Bentley Crewe fountain pen. He had her name specially engraved on it with the year and wording: ‘From R’. There are only 40 of these pens in the world, so it’s a real collector’s item.”

Angelina Jolie Bought Brad Pitt A Waterfall

Have you ever wanted to own a waterfall? Neither have we, but apparently they make great gifts. According to The Daily Mail, in 2012 the actress Angelina Jolie bought Brad Pitt a waterfall for his 48^th birthday and Christmas.

Apparently, upon receiving the unique gift Pitt began planning on building a house over the waterfall. A source close to the couple said – “Angelina wanted to get him something incredibly special and, because she knows how much he loves architecture, she thought this would be perfect. This is the present to top all presents."

Katy Perry Bought Russell Brand A Trip To Space

In 2010 Katy Perry decided that her then husband Russell Brand had enough material goods and thus opted for something slightly different for his birthday gift. So, what did she get him? A $200,0000 ticket to space!

But in case you’re wondering, it’s actually not that easy to go to space. Russell would have to undergo intensive training before he would even be allowed onto the space ship.

A representative for the spaceflight company Virgin Galactic confirmed Perry’s gift, saying – “It is true. We are very excited to have him onboard.”

Khloe Kardashian Gave Lamar Odom A Rolls Royce

Back when Khloe Kardashian was married to Lamar Odom she used to regularly shower him with luxurious gifts. For example, in 2010 Kardashian  bought Odom a $400,000 Rolls Royce Convertible to celebrate his Lakers championship win. At the time, Khloe’s mother, Kris Jenner, was only too eager to share the details. She said –

“It's a brand new 2010 Rolls Royce...drop-top coupe, white on white. It was a Lakers championship present. Fabulous!"

You have to admit, that’s quite a luxurious and opulent gift.  Shortly after receiving the costly gift Odom was seen trying it out with Khloe and his children.

Angelina Jolie Bought Brad Pitt A Heart Shaped Island

According to The Daily Mail, in 2013 the actress Angelina Jolie bought Brad Pitt a heart-shaped island. Apparently the unique island cost $12.2 million and is located about 50 miles away from New York City.

A source close to the couple said –

“As soon as Angelina heard the island was on the market she arranged a viewing. She was really impressed. The house is perfect for romantic getaways or as a family retreat. It’s very private.”

You may be wondering – what was the occasion for such a luxurious gift? Well, it was Pitt’s 50^th birthday so it’s only understandable that Jolie wanted to give him something special and unique.

Tom Cruise Bought Katie Holmes A Jet

What is the best gift a husband can give his new bride? According to the actor Tom Cruise, it’s a jet! When Cruise got married to Katie Holmes in 2006 he got her a Gulfstream IV-SP Jet as a wedding gift. Apparently, the jet cost $20 million.

So, what did Katie Holmes think of the gift? We assume that she loved it for she reportedly said that “it's like a bus, only quicker.” Apparently, Holmes did not use the jet too often, only opting for it when Cruise’s $36 million Gulfstream was not available for her to use.

Mike Tyson Bought Robin Givens A Gold Bathtub

Some celebrities truly squander their money on luxurious but absolutely unnecessary items. After all, we can understand the appeal of buying expensive jets, cars and even pens for your loved one. But a golden bathtub? That seems a bit excessive.

And yet that is exactly what Mike Tyson gifted his first wife Robin Givens for Christmas in the late 1980's – a 24-karat gold bathtub. Thus, it is no wonder that Tyson filed for bankruptcy in 2003. He may have earned a lot during his boxing career (it is estimated that he received around $300 million over his career) but his mad expenses pretty much ensured that towards the end of his life he ended up in debt.

Richard Burton Bought Elizabeth Taylor A 68-Carat Diamond Ring

There’s a saying that diamonds are a girl’s best friend and obviously no one understood this better than Richard Burton. Burton and the actress Elizabeth Taylor had a tumultuous relationship – they were married not once but twice and unfortunately, they got divorced not once but twice also.

Burton got Taylor a 68-carat diamond ring for absolutely no occasion. Apparently the ring cost $1.1 million and was so heavy that Taylor chose to wear it around her neck instead.

The ring became known as a Taylor-Burton diamond but Taylor sold it after her second divorce to Burton and used the money to help build a hospital in Botswana.

Kanye West Allegedly Bought Kim Kardashian Ten Burger King Locations

The actor Tom Cruise may have gotten Katie Holmes a jet as a wedding present but Kanye West decided that jets were far too boring and decided to treat Kim Kardashian to ten Burger King locations. Because you know, one Burger King is not enough.

According to Daily Star newspaper, a source close to the couple said – “As always, Kanye is thinking outside the box when it comes to gifts for Kim. She owns all the jewels anyone could ever want, so he is taking the practical route by investing in businesses for her instead. He knows the fast food industry is reliable and lucrative, plus BK is international so he thinks it’s the perfect fit for Kim…Kanye wants to buy her 10 restaurants across the UK, Italy and France, making her a real international businesswoman.”

Ben Affleck Got Jennifer Lopez A Jewel Encrusted Toilet Sea

Back when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were dating the singer got Affleck a luxurious car. But it would be unfair to say that the actor did not reciprocate when it came to gifts. According to The National Enquirer, back when Affleck and Lopez were dating he got her a jewel-encrusted toilet seat.

According to an anonymous source, Affleck said to his friend that “Jennifer is my princess and she deserves only the best – even when it comes to toilets”.

The toilet seat apparently cost $105,000 and was adorned with rubies, sapphires, pearls and even diamonds. What can we say, that is definitely a unique gift.

Kim Kardashian Got Kanye West Apple Mice Autographed By Jobs And Wozniak

In 2013 the reality TV star Kim Kardashian decided to surprise her husband Kanye West on Father’s Day by gifting him two Apple computer mice that have been signed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. The gift must have been quite costly seeing as Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak memorabilia can cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000.

Wozniak said – “Just because [Kanye] was interested in technology and companies, [Kim], as a birthday present, she had me up there to meet him. Unbelievable that a woman would do that. I mean I just think she is doing everything she can to show her love to her man."

Jessica Simpson Bought Tony Romo A $100,000 Speedboat

Back in 2009 when Jessica Simpson was dating American football TV analyst and former quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo she bought him a $100,000 speedboat for his birthday.

A source close to the couple said – “(She's) hoping that her birthday gift will lead to marriage, and by this time next year she'll be walking down the aisle with him."

Well, that didn’t quite happen but it was nice of Simpson to get Romo such a lovely gift. It was said that Simpson knew that Romo was interested in purchasing a speedboat for quite some time and that upon receiving the luxurious gift he was delighted and overjoyed.
