Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Beyoncé and Jay Z have something in common: They have exchanged lavish gifts
Today there is little left of the love that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie once had, but in addition to the happy memories, both can count among their anecdotes the expensive gifts they exchanged.
Pitt showed his love for Jolie with extravagant gifts, like that engagement ring he designed for over a year and made sure the piece only fit perfectly on Angelina’s finger.
First it was said that the jewel with a diamond of about 16 carats and platinum would be valued at USD 250,000, but later it turned out that the price would actually be USD 500,000.
It wasn’t the only way Pitt entertained Angelina. According to the Showbiz Cheat Sheet portal, the actor gave his then wife a painting of Louis Zamperini, the hero of the film Unbroken, which the actress directed in 2014.

According to the same portal, in the gift list of the famous ex-couple you can also count a helicopter that Angelina gave to Brad, as well as flight classes, which in total would have cost him USD 1.6 million.
The actress also presented Brad with a diamond earring with an engraved love letter, and although the price was not disclosed, it was said to have exceeded six digits.
However, the most eccentric gift was an olive tree – about 200 years old – that Brad would have acquired in 2010 for USD 18,500 and that ended up planted on the French property that the couple bought during their romance.

It is not clear if the tree was part of his estate division.
By the way, it was said that Angelina gave Pitt a heart-shaped island , with a price of more than USD 12 million, on the occasion of his 50 years, but months later it was learned that the land was still for sale, so that it was all a rumor.
A day at the Staples Center
But if it is about extravagant gifts, perhaps few surpass the one that Kim Kardashian gave Kanye West.
On the occasion of the rapper’s 38 years, the reality star rented the Staples Center in Los Angeles for a full day, which would have cost him about $ 110,000.

The surprise included that Kanye was transported to the place, blindfolded, and once there a basketball game was developed with professional NBA players and friends of the couple, such as Tyga and Justin Bieber, who were organized into teams ” East ”and“ West ”.
The anthem was performed by John Legend and Kim hired the Lakers cheerleaders to entertain halftime.
Although it was not of the same magnitude, Kanye also gave an expensive gift to Kim when the star turned 34 years old: a Birkin bag with the mark of one of the fingers of his daughter North, at a cost of $ 16,000.
On some occasion the rapper also sent his assistant to Italy to buy Kim 150 gifts from luxury brands. The total amount of what he spent was not disclosed, but it was mentioned that just for a coat he would have paid USD 39,000.

In the Kardashian family, by the way, lavish gifts are not strange, as demonstrated when Rob Kardashian gave Blac Chyna -the mother of his daughter- a $ 200,000 Lamborghini; while Kylie Jenner received as a gift from Tyga, for her 18 years, another Lamborghini, although this one for USD 320,000.

“Jennifer was not expecting such a generous gift, but Marc wanted to give her something to remember this day,” commented a source close to J.Lo about the incredible present of the interpreter.
A powerful couple
Last year, Forbes magazine revealed that together Beyoncé and Jay-Z are worth $ 1.4 billion, so it’s no surprise that the powerful couple have spent fortunes on gifts.
Although it has been the singer who has pleased her husband the most. To celebrate 41 years of Jay-Z, he bought him a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, one of the fastest cars in the world with 1,000 horsepower, and valued at $ 2 million.

Of course, even with her fame and money, Beyoncé had to order the vehicle about a year in advance so she could get to the celebration on time.
Years later, the interpreter spent USD 40 million on a private jet and the aircraft has capacity for 15 people, a room, a kitchen and two bathrooms.
And as if it were about being at her height, Kelly Rowland-friend of Beyoncé- gave Blue Ivy, the first-born of the couple, a bathtub with pink Swarovski crystals, at a cost of USD 5,200.
The Beckhams
The former British footballer has given several luxurious objects to his wife. In 2004 it emerged that David gave Victoria, who was then pregnant, a $ 1.8 million vibrator.

Russell and Perry parted ways in 2011, so nearly a decade later it’s unclear if he will still use the ticket to travel into space.
A joke that got out of control?
During a 2003 chat with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, Ben Affleck revealed an anecdote about a Christmas present while he was on the road.
“I flew back just in time to pick up a toilet for my girlfriend, ” he said, before adding, “That wasn’t so good. You know what I mean?”.

Although he did not mention the name, it became known that he was referring to Jennifer Lopez and then stories began to circulate that Ben had bought a toilet with encrusted precious stones, such as pearls, diamonds, sapphires and rubies, at a cost of USD 105,000.
But it seems like it was all a joke, because in a 2011 interview with People , when asked if she owned a gemstone toilet, Jennifer Lopez replied, “ Obviously not. That’s so crazy! “
What was never in doubt was the veracity of the $ 2.5 million ring Ben gave Jennifer to get engaged to.
