Beyoncé And Jay-Z Gifted Blue Ivy An $80,000 Barbie
Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ movie is blowing up the box office, and that means everybody’s got Barbie (and Ken and Allan, of course) on the brain. Hello Magazine points out that none other than Blue Ivy Carter has a unique Barbie doll that was certainly not sold in any stores. The first birthday of the first child of Beyoncé and Jay-Z wasn’t going to be a quiet, modest affair. The party, described as a “princess-themed, lavish bash held in New York,” featured more than $75,000 worth of pink and white roses and a nearly $2,000 birthday cake. Blue Ivy herself ultimately got “a diamond-encrusted, one-of-a-kind Barbie,” worth $80,000, thanks to an adornment of “160 sparkling diamonds embedded in white gold.” In 2005, Mattel produced a Beyoncé Barbie as part of their set of Destiny’s Child dolls.
