7 Ridiculously Expensive Gifts Celebrities Gave To Others

When it comes to gifts for celebrities, sweaters and cologne aren't going to cut it. When celebrities give each other gifts, they think creatively about how to spend huge dollar signs on their presents.
Celebrities often spend obscene amounts of money on gifts for their loved ones that are expensive or even odd. In celebrity gift-giving, there is no limit on the amount of money that may be spent, but it seems that uniqueness and imagination are just as vital as generosity. You won't believe some of these celebrities' romantic gestures ranged from diamond-encrusted toilets to waterfalls.

Angelina Jolie showered her longtime companion and now-husband, Brad Pitt, with outrageously expensive presents before they started fighting in court. On the occasion of his 48th birthday and Christmas in 2012, she reportedly presented him with a waterfall in California.
Pitt's favorite architect, Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, inspired the couple's dream home, which they planned to construct above the waterfall. A few years later, on his 50th birthday, she reportedly spent $19.7 million to purchase the heart-shaped island of Petra off the coast of New York.

2. David Beckham

David Beckham gave his wife, Victoria, a purse and jewelry set for Christmas in 2005, solving the dilemma of choosing between the two. The magazine claims he purchased her a $100,000 diamond clutch as a gift. That's more than enough for the average person, but David also threw in a custom Rolls-Royce Phantom worth half a million dollars. A $2.4 million ruby and diamond necklace from Boucheron was his most costly gift that year. We need a Secret Santa, and he seems like he might be the one.

3. Katy Perry

Katy Perry's ex-husband, Russell Brand, might be the sole recipient of a present she has no regrets about giving him: a trip to space. A ticket on Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic voyage, reportedly costing $200,000, was one of the gifts the pop star gave to the comedian for his 35th birthday back in 2010, when they were engaged. Passengers on the as-yet-uncompleted voyage will ascend to an altitude of 365,000 feet.

4. Mike Tyson

Boxer-turned-reality-star Mike Tyson's marriage to the lovely Robin Givens is hard to believe. Eleven months of marriage were spent together in 1988 and 1989. The two-million-dollar gold bathtub Tyson bought for Givens should have lasted longer than their tumultuous marriage. Our minds can't help but think about what he may have provided her had they been married for another year.

5. Courtney Cox

It does not just couples in Hollywood who give and receive outrageously pricey presents to one another. For her close friend and former co-star Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox bought a $12,000 Chanel bicycle. Jenny wanted to start biking since it's great exercise, says Pop Sugar. A new, ultra-chic Chanel bicycle was what Courtney sent her. What would happen if Aniston suddenly declared her desire to become a pilot?

6. Aaron Spelling

The lack of regular snowy Christmases is one of the few downsides to life in sunny Los Angeles. Tori Spelling and her brother never let that stand in their way as kids. Aaron Spelling, their famous father as a producer, reportedly paid $2 million for a snow machine to deliver fake snow to their Beverly Hills mansion. Tori was motivated to do the same in 2009 for her own children, years after she had been encouraged to do so herself.

7. Ben Affleck

The closest thing we have to royalty in America are celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, and her ex-fiance Ben Affleck even gave her a glittering throne. Affleck reportedly bought Lopez a jewel-encrusted toilet during their highly publicized relationship from 2002 to 2004. Rubies, sapphires, and diamonds adorned the commode. It's too bad it wasn't more visible to the public.
