Kim Kardashian or Angelina Jolie: who gives the most extravagant gifts? From Michael Jackson’s jacket to a US$2.4 million Boucheron necklace, 6 of the most OTT celebrity presents

The Kardashians throw a backyard party, the Pitt-Jolie family open their stockings and buy presents for children in need, and the Beckham household used to eat a KFC bucket – these are just some of the ways Hollywood’s most influential families have celebrated Christmas in years past.

But for the rich and famous, gifts can be given any time of year – and the millions they unapologetically splurge on special occasions and birthday presents is enough to make us mere mortals green with envy. And when money is no object, A-listers can be especially creative and extravagant when giving gifts to their loved ones – we’re talking waterfalls, pre-owned celebrity clothes and even a gold bathtub.

What do you do when you have millions in your bank account and your child idolises Michael Jackson? Buy memorabilia and belongings of the legendary pop superstar, of course. In 2019, Kim revealed via an Instagram story that she had gifted then-six-year-old daughter North the exact velvet jacket the King of Pop wore while out with Elizabeth Taylor. She explained that she and North won the item in an auction, and she had the jacket altered so her daughter could wear it.
