they got what for the holidays?! craziest a-lister gift guide
rihanna - dolphin sculpture
for Christmas in 2014, rihanna's producer gifted her an original Koons sculpture which appears to be a dolphin balancing on a book a-top a stool surrounded by a tire. Pretty sure she found the perfect place in her Beverly Hills home to display such interesting art. While we don’t know the cost, we can tell you that Koons' "Balloon Dog (Orange)" sold for $58.4 million dollars, making it one of the most expensive works sold by a living artist at auction. Probably best to have RZA and riot keep their distance.
brad pitt - waterfall
what do you get the guy who has everything? Back in happier times, as a joint birthday/Chistmas gift, Angelina bought him… a waterfall. The california spot was going to be the site of a future home for the couple and their brood, but we all know how that turned out.
justin beiber - gulfstream
nothing wrong with treating yourself to a little something for the holidays. Or in beibers case, the biggest something ever. A Gulfstream G600 to be exact. in 2014 the pop star captioned a pic of himself on a $60 million aircraft along with the caption, 'New jet for Christmas, and she's beautiful.' TMZ called his bluff, but the guy does travel private and tends to spend lavishly so we tend to believe it.
beyonce - multiple birkin bags
in the words of shaboozey, baby want a birkin… but what happens when your baby wants more than one? well, if you’re baby is beyonce, she gets them. hubby Jay-Z reportedly went on a $350,000 Hermès shopping spree on christmas eve in 2020 and although he seemed to have left his gifting to the last minute, we’re pretty sure she got over it.
katy perry - a tiger
once upon a time, “roar” singer katy perry was married to comedian russel brand and while it was a wedding gift rather than a holiday gift, we couldn’t leave this one off the list. A puppy is one thing, but a live tiger? yup, he thought that was a good idea. Rumor has it the animal lives at a reserve so at least there’s that.
chrissy teigen - a cheese wheel
luckily chrissy didn’t find it cheesy when her husband presented her with a gift for the kitchen on christmas in 2020. In fact, the “cravings” creator said it was a “dream” to receive a giant hollowed out wheel of cheese. 2020 was the year of creative cooking so the timing does seem right.
