Extravagant Birthdays!  

I think that is money wasted for any birthday, I don't even think bill gates should spend that kind of money on his birthday. Your right the little girl is much to young to know what is going on. I lived in the ghetto all my life, most of the kids never even had a birthday party. My son always had one, and it was costing me 40.00 the max.

She wont have had a clue whats going on really she certainly wont remember it will she. It seems like a real waste of money to me im sure theres plenty of decent things that money could have been spent on as she got older, but I suppose when money isnt an issue you dont think about it.

I think that this is a little too much for a kids party. It is the same as these sweet 16 parties that I am seeing on television that the kids get rock stars and stuff at their parties and the parents are spending a fortune on a party. It just shows that parents are the ones who are causing the children to act the way they do and be spoiled and think that they don't have to work to get things in life. It is insane!!
I believe a small party is more appropriate and cake and ice cream is fine for the food to be served.

I think that is ridiculous, even though they are millionaires, there is no need to spend that much money. All kids need on their birthday is love and close friends and family around to spend it with them. Some kids you can spend so much on them and they get overwhelmed by it all. I have never been to any birthdays that I thought was a little too much. Most kids parties I have been too are just at McDonalds or celebrated at their house. I like to have my kids parties at the park near the beach, cheap, and good fun for the kids to run around and play.

If I have money that much, I'd put it in the bank
or invest it.
I must admit its quite extravagant on their part to spend that amount on their little girl's birthday. But who are we to pass judgement?

Lest we forget, it's their hard earned money they're spending...not yours or mine.
They have every right to do whatever they please with their money.

Most birthdays for 1 and 2 year olds isn't for the kids. It's for the parents. Tom Cruise is just showing off again for all his friends. I can't imagine any party costing that much unless it was for charity and a huge guest list.

Although they're celebrities and they are expected to hold an extravagant party like that I still think that it's too much especially if it's for a children party.

If I have lots of money at my disposal, I won't spend a LOT just for a birthday party, I am happy already with a cake and icecream and the people who are dear to me during that special day

1. YES. Only if it means I can make more money out of that birthday - like invite some big dudes and help seal a certain deal and that sort of thing. If not, then I'm better of building a school.
2. The party is for the little child's memory and for his/her future. They're establishing his/her place in society as "someone important" and therefore maintain good connections with other rich dude's kids.
3. I've never been to a party THAT extravagant. Not my social circle.
4. I make sure that there'd be cirque de solei (or however you spell the last word)

I think that if I had that kind of money I would spend it on my daughters first birthday! What else am I going to do with the money..? I'd still have millions more to pay for her college and the rest of her life etc.

Hi there Nichole. Let me see now:
1. Would you ever have a birthday like that if you had the money of course?
No, i don't think so much money should be spent on an occasion like this because i am thinking that the kid would always expect such parties for her birthday from there on.

2. What are your thoughts on a birthday party for a little girl or boy (that probably won't even remember it)? I think that it should be something nice, with a cake and family, perhaps his / her friends if he has any, and of course pictures taken, so that when he / she grows older you can show him / her them.


3. Have you ever gone to a birthday that was a little too much? I must admit i have not, as i don't have wealthy friends
