PATRICK FIORI: a real lit
As soon as December 1st arrives, the singer is in the starting blocks. A true Santa’s elf, Patrick Fiori pulls out all the stops. “I’m crazy about everything that has to do with lights, everything that has to do with decoration. If you arrive home during this time, don’t worry, it’s Euro Disney!” he confides. No doubt, we now know who his song is aimed at That you come back !
VICTORIA BECKHAM: All That Glitters
As soon as the pumpkins and Halloween skeletons are put away, Posh begins to prepare her Christmas decoration. As a good obsessive, she coordinates each ball placed on the tree, each star on the windows, not hesitating to spend up to 40,000 euros each year, just to make it beautiful. In terms of gifts, it’s often crazy. We remember that she bought David some pigs… But jokes are just for New Year’s Eve. Afterwards, they become serious again and go to the Caribbean to rest a little. Winter is cool, in the sun it’s better.
GEORGINA RODRIGUEZ: a ca-Rolls for her king
It’s to the sound of All I Want for Christmas by Mariah Carey that the wife of the famous footballer made us discover the sublime gift given to her man for Christmas. In this video, published on Instagram in 2022, we see Cristiano, child in arms, discovering his new toy open-mouthed: a Rolls-Royce convertible costing 400,000 euros! Really generous from a girl who, apart from a few advertising contracts… doesn’t work.
LADY GAGA: very fond of parties
The Mother Monster has never lost her childish soul. In 2015, after receiving a superb white horse as a gift, she declared that she still believed in Santa Claus. “He’s somewhere, obviously. Him, and the Easter bells. I hung out with them and Jesus on various occasions. They are friends and all do good for humanity.”We warned you, she’s completely Gaga…
BEYONCÉ & JAY-Z: their daughter is worth gold
It’s simple, we haven’t known a more important birth since Jesus. Nothing surprising then, to see this pure marvel, this miracle incarnate, covered with gifts! On this, Beyoncé and Jay-Z did not disappoint us. For her first Christmas, in 2012, their little Blue Ivy received a million euros in gifts, including a solid gold rocking horse, costing 455,000 euros. We imagine that after such gifts at such a young age, the kid must be difficult to please now… Besides, she received so much gold that, today, all she wants is money.
WILLIAM & KATE: a spoiled little prince

The first December 25 of a future king of England is worth celebrating. And not with a common rattle and a small industrial pot, please! For their eldest, Kate and William cracked their PEL. George received a small wooden train for 400 euros, a pirate cabin for 3,000 euros and a rocking zebra worth 6,000 euros. It’s worth all the thrones in the world!
MANON & JULIEN TANTI: a “hand-stitched” Christmas
Long before the price of product placement plummets and the Marseille were forced to resume nightclub bookings, Christmas was for them the apotheosis of mass consumption. Under their 2020 tree: toys galore, Hermès bags, here you go, Gucci shoes for their daughter Angelina who wasn’t yet walking, a diamond necklace… Which makes you wonder if Julien and Manon weren’t making any not a Tanti-net too.
ANGELINA JOLIE: cascading gifts

How far away are the days when the actress tomb Raider spoiled her husband more than was reasonable. Before embarking on a merciless legal battle against Brad Pitt, Angie had offered him, at Christmas 2012, a plot of land in California with a sublime waterfall to build the house of their dreams. Fortunately, the two stars never got involved in the work. That’s less for the lawyers to share.
TORI SPELLING: too hot
The holy shit Donna Beverly Hills grew up in an extremely wealthy family, which gave rise to many fantasies about his lifestyle. We often read that, faced with the sadness of his daughter who wanted snow for Christmas, her father Aaron Spelling would have chartered trucks of powder to cover their garden. The anecdote is partly accurate, but largely exaggerated, as Tori Spelling recounted in her autobiography. “Yes, he had rented a snow cannon”, she admits. But, as spoiled as she was by her father, the actress was also mistreated by her mother, who almost completely disinherited her. Today, she lives in a trailer, and she hopes… that it won’t freeze.
JOHN LEGEND: he makes his wife rap
No jewelry, car or handbag for the former model. Her darling wants his gifts to be useful. That’s why, in 2015, when Chrissy Teigen released her first cookbook, John Legend decided to give her a wheel of parmesan. And don’t think she wasn’t thrilled. Worth around 2,000 euros on the American market, it was able to test all the recipes of Italian gastronomy thanks to this beautiful piece of 40 kilos. The fact remains that they must have tasted it quite quickly, because this nice present could quickly become… stinky.
TOM CRUISE & KATIE HOLMES: a horse for their Suri

Your children’s Santa list will seem very dull compared to his. But also much less expensive! No Polly Pocket or Barbie truck for Suri, who had asked for a pony, princess dresses… and diamonds for her 5th birthday Christmas! All of this caused his parents, who were still together at the time, to spend nearly 90,000 euros. The fact remains that today, Suri is a very simple teenager, who walks around New York in jeans and sneakers. We don’t know at all what happened to his diamonds, but as they are eternal, we don’t worry too much for their young owner…
CELINE DION: Chocolate Show
It’s the same ritual every year, even and especially since René’s death. For the holidays, Céline takes her sons to a superb private club in Montana, Yellowstone Park, where they enjoy together the sublime snow-capped mountains and an ultra-luxury cottage, where the fireplace is twelve square meters. On the morning of the 25th, around a fir tree that is necessarily giant, and necessarily red and green, the singer watches her children unwrap their dozens of gifts, telling as soon as she can an anecdote about their deceased father. We just wonder if the twins and René-Charles like it… or if it pisses them off!
