Beyonce and Jay-Z buy Blue an $80,000 birthday present

Most little girls would be delighted to get a regular Barbie doll for their birthday, but when you’re the daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z, you can expect a tiny bit more.

The megastar couple have sung in Blue Ivy’s first birthday by giving her an $80,000 jewelled Barbie doll.

UK newspaper The Sun reports the custom-designed doll is encrusted with 160 diamonds and comes with white gold jewellery.

Blue’s proud parents spent weeks planning her lavish princess-themed birthday, ordering in over $90,000 worth of white and pink roses to decorate the New York venue.

Little guests tucked into a $2000 cake and were treated to party bags filled with more than $30,000 worth of accessories and toys, including jewellery sets, princess costumes and playhouses.

Their parents didn’t walk away empty-handed either. They were given luxury goodie bags with sought-after concert tickets and gold pens engraved with their name as well as Blue Ivy’s.

“Nothing’s been too big or expensive for their little princess. They wanted her first birthday to set the tone for the rest of her life,” a source close to the couple says.

“They work hard for their money and the first thing they want to spend it on is their baby girl.”
