When your parents are the highest paid celebrity couple in the world, you come to expect a bit more than chocolate cake and a few balloons for your birthday. Yes, even if you're 1.

Blue Ivy Carter, Beyonce and Jay Z's baby girl, turned 1 last week -- and her parents definitely went all out.

Aside from the $1 million a year nursery the power couple has for their girl at the Barclays Center, they reportedly spent $200,000 -- although we wouldn't be surprised if this number was slightly inflated -- on her first birthday party.

According to The Sun, the luckiest girl in the world got a custom-made $80,000 diamond-encrusted Barbie doll. An additional $95,000 went on pink and white roses (blue ivy must be out of season); $30,000 went on costumes, jewelry, and toys for baby Blue Ivy's friends and their parents; and of course, you can't have a party without a cake -- a $2,400 cake, that is.

“Nothing’s been too big or expensive for their little princess," a source told The Sun. "They wanted her first birthday to set the tone for the rest of her life. They work hard for their money and the first thing they want to spend it on is their baby girl."

Bey and Jay are not the first doting parents to pamper their little one with lavish gifts. From fancy cars to renting out an ice rink, celebrity moms and dads love to spend on their little ones. But given that Blue Ivy is too young to understand what she's got, we wonder what to expect when she grows up.

Misplaced priorities and how much did they give to support d victims of d recent hurricane?

^^^

Its their money and they worked for it so I don't think its misplaced priority. Maybe to them family comes 1st.

A parable in my place, says " u don't ask sombody that has oil what/why is he frying.

its like locking money down... just like Gold... stuffs like that dont depreciate ... so when they are broke ... they can sell it and make same amount or more in future

NA THIS ONE MY FATHER DE CALL WHOPPING SUM OF MONEY

what would a one year old do with a diamond doll?

guy you be saddist......what makes it misplaced priority....do you know how much and what beyonce does for charity? it is theit money and not yours.... if i may ask how many beyonce's album have you bought? you come herr spitting venom on nairaland.... anyway they want tospend it let them be..
focus on how you will spend more than that on your own kids...

Good 4 them though it's probably 2 gratify their status cos Blue Ivy is too little 2 appreciate the lavish gifts, esp the doll! She'll probably bite off d diamonds if they'll even let her play with it...lol

Lord bless the work of my hands o.

See d doll lyk Barbie Cartoon. & she might still destroy it.
Btw, Who made her the luckiest girl in the world? Op, talk another thing.
Singing the song... 'Is it your money? Na my money, make I spend am, on anything I like'.

can someone give me the name of Bey/Jay charity organization or foundation? while I know that they worked for their money, others did same(not my biz tho but I must talk cos one way or the other the duos has made money from me) opera winfery, warren buffet, etc. hope they wont buy her queen elizabeth 's head when she turns 10........shit still happens!

Its no big deal, Jonathan spends roughly 6.4 million dollars (1 billion Naira) to eat yearly

That doll will never experience those, Blue Ivy or wetin be her name should be careful rather, cos a doll of $80000 can do THINGS!

DANILSA: NA THIS ONE MY FATHER DE CALL WHOPPING SUM OF MONEY

pls i beg u i no wan laff abeg

its their money
its their call. I just don't understand why one person will have it all while some other has known. God indeed works in misterious wayss(like i often hear). And i hear someone say 'hard work'? Them work one quarter wetin my papa nd mama dey do everyday? Smh abeg. I dey vex

money talks,bulshit works,mehn does people sulking about jay and bey wastyn their cash are just people with poor mentality,u dont expect wealithy parents to buy a rag doll for their kids.....and am reaching there soon.DETRACTO...RS attack

And here I am looking for where to get #40, 000 to change my car. Smh!

Firstly and perhaps most importantly it's their money so it's their business. However it would perhaps have been nicer to read that JayZ and Beyonce donated $80,000 to a Black community unemployment scheme or $80,000 to a Black Orphange or $80,000 to an education fund for young Black kids.

Blacks listen to their music and go to their shows the most,a little giving back would have been nice but hey it's their money but i can't imagine anyone who'd read this and be impressed,extravagance if you ask me

Superfluous, extravagant, love.

Vanity upon Vanity all IS̶̲̥̅ Vanity! A baby dat does not know anytin, wat if she dies 2mao, not wishn ar dat, jst askin

aribisala0: No BLACK dolls??

it is probably one more evidence that the couple are being used to confuse blacks and lead them astray. Blacks that try to be white declare themselves useless to creation - my opinion.

Who has the money? Who are they spending it on? Is it your money?
