Despite popular belief, famous people value family time just as much as the rest of the holidays. They take time out of their busy schedules to give presents to the individuals they care about. Naturally, most famous people have lots of money and can afford to give presents that could put a dent in the mortgages of regular folks.
In the spirit of the holiday season, they go all out on gifts, leaving us all in wonder. Some celebrity Christmas gifts are so extravagant that they make the average American holiday seem like a bargain. The most important thing is that you take the time to find a gift that your loved one will treasure, rather than worrying about how much it costs.

Mike Tyson was previously rich but now owes $38 million. His bad spending habits got him. I've always pondered how I'd handle winning the lotto, and many individuals struggle to avoid debt. Mike Tyson is no stranger to expensive living; he owns a Bengal tiger. Robin Givens was one of his most expensive gifts. His wife got a $2 million bathtub. These lavish gifts may have caused his 2004 financial difficulty. Tyson was one of many celebrities at Charlie Sheen's roast; the bathtub was used to poke fun at him.

Tom and Katie are indulging Suri again, and not just for Christmas. Tom spends a lot of money on his kid to make up for his divorce from Katie. Suri gets new shoes every Christmas, not to mention throughout the year. I have a pretty sick collection of shoes, but none are over $100, and they're nowhere like the quantity this 10-year-old girl wears daily. Suri's shoe collection reportedly costs six figures, and the designers would make most ladies swoon. The girl boasts about her handmade Louboutins.
3. Kylie Jenner

Promise rings from boyfriends usually look like gumballs. Kylie Jenner's Christmas was different. People thought she was engaged because of her boyfriend's large ring. Despite appearances, she commented on Instagram that the ring wasn't an engagement ring. "I'm not engaged" The ring had no symbolism despite its size. The ring reportedly cost $20 million. That's a lot of money for a Christmas gift with nothing to do with marriage, but celebrities are sometimes extravagant. It beats the pajamas I got my mom this year.

Ben and Jennifer were one of our "forever" couples. Hollywood star marriages rarely last forever. Those two lasted a long time and produced two kids. Ben purchased Jennifer a 7-carat diamond ring while they were together. No, he bought her a ring for Christmas "for being a good mom." Awe! Sweet! What could go wrong for such a gorgeous pair to break up? Affleck bought her a huge yellow diamond when he proposed to Jennifer Lopez.
5. Brandi Glanville

Brandi Glanville and Darin Harvey are no strangers to controversy. Since they married, they've been in the news. The couple's New Year's Eve Las Vegas wedding made headlines. Brandi Glanville said she was marrying her best friend, but they were both drunk. After "beers and strippers," they got married. Perhaps it was Darin's white sports car for Christmas. Even though he's fascinated with the RHOBH star, it's no wonder they're considering annulling their marriage. The reality star should keep her beautiful automobile.
6. Alexander Wang

Many celebrities consider it an honor to wear Alexander Wang's clothes. The designer's niece is a young fashionista. She's only two and has a better style than anyone I know. It's stunning to see her wearing tens of thousands of dollars in clothes during fashion week. Aila Wang is still in nursery school but was allowed to wear her Uncle's line for Christmas. It's unusual for a designer to reveal clothes before the runway show, but Aila breaks the rules. Lucky girl!
7. Kanye & Kim

Quality presents are better than numbers, say many. Christmas is about the thought behind the present, not how many you get. Few can afford to buy hundreds of gifts for loved ones. Kanye didn't get the memo because he's all about quantity. He buys his woman lots of gifts to show he cares. He once gave Kim 150 Christmas gifts. It must have taken her hours to open them all; think how spoilt she felt. One hundred fifty gifts under that tree included Louis Vuitton outfits, fur jackets, and Prada jumpsuits.
