Amazing Ways Celebrities Celebrate their Kids’ Birthdays

With a net worth in the region of $180 million, it’s no wonder that Usher recently went all-out to celebrate the first birthday of his second son, Naviyd Raymond, taking the Aladdin theme to full extreme with camel rides, magic carpet seating, and henna tattoos for all. Celebrities may seem obsessed with making money, yet just like the rest of humanity, they usually enjoy nothing more than spending their time to make others happy. Life is short, many would say, so why not enjoy what you have while you still can? These are just a few of the most spectacular celebrations and gifts enjoyed by celebrity kids.

Romeo Beckham’s Mini $187,000 House

Real estate always goes up in value, they say, so why not start your child’s appreciation for investment young by giving them a playhouse that costs more than many people’s homes? That is just what David and Victoria Beckham did on their son Romeo’s 10th birthday, giving him a cubby house in which to get away and feel like the king of his castle. This type of gift actually makes sense; one can only imagine how many hours of fun Romeo had with his friends in this home away from home!

Miles Stephens’ Red Mercedes-Benz

Nothing spells luxury like a high-end car and Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are certainly getting their son Miles used to the finer things in life early, surprising him with a red toy Mercedes-Benz when he turned one. Electric cars thrill kids with a passion for velocity, with some going as fast as 5mph. Some cars even come with a remote control so parents can take the lead without their children knowing it. The tiny tot’s model has a great battery life and a gorgeous design that is almost as good as the real thing. He should get a lot of mileage out of this one before getting his actual license.

Taking the Cultural Route

It’s not all about expensive toys and parties for culture vultures like Angeline Jolie and Brad Pitt. When they were still married, they celebrated their son Pax’s seventh birthday as a family unit, heading for Paris to cruise down the river Seine. Many would agree that travel is the ultimate gift and the love for adventure cannot be started too early in life.

The World of Fantasy

For some reason, first birthday parties seem to be extra-big in Hollywood. Kourtney Kardashian certainly showed others how it is done with a beautiful, fantasy-filled party on her daughter Penelope’s first birthday. The garden was filled with three-foot balloons with handmade paper frill, a real-life unicorn (actually a horse dressed up as a unicorn), a piglet, a faux Disney castle and fireworks. Not to be one-upped was her sister Kim, who celebrated North’s first birthday with a ‘Kidchella’ (Kids’ Coachella) music festival. The event had a giant Ferris wheel, stages for performances, teepees, bouncy castles, and just about every other fun feature you might find at a real-life music festival.

Celebrities’ huge net worths somehow makes the idea of over-the-top birthday parties and gifts a little more comprehensible. For many, the events are a way of highlighting the importance of family in their lives while taking perfect Instagram shots. They may spend most of the year working hard, touring, and traveling, but they do know how to throw a great party on their kids’ most special day of the year.
