Guess which celebrity couple spent $100K on their kid's birthday party?
editor
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes clearly misread the memo saying that
$10,000 is the new norm for excessive kid's birthday parties. They somehow added an extra digit and spent
$100,000 to celebrate the second birthday of daughter Suri. They must feel so silly.
NY Daily News reports they had some pretty amazing birthday
cakes (note the plural), $45,000 in food (catered from Wolfgang Puck no
less) and decorated with $17,000 worth of fresh flowers. And 1,000 butterflies flew around her. It sounds like a movie set.
Now if you'll excuse me I'll be
checking out ways to throw pretty cool birthday parties without dropping more than a single Benjamin.

Oh, how I wish I had more money than sense.
Sadly, my poor kids will just have to worry about growing up in a loving home!

Are these the same Hollywood people that tell us working class people to donate to their charity of the month. Maybe they could have spent a little less on the party and made a donation for all of us.

While I don't begrude them their wealth...I do think that they are bringing their child up wrong to spend that kind of money on a birthday party. Would be more responsible to have a nice party and donate the money to charity in her name.

Katie and Tom, only time will tell if this was money well spent.....or if, literally, thousands of orphaned children in third world countries could have benefitted from this vast amount. What a shame most of them will never live long enough to know .... but, oh well, at least you have taught Suri she can have her cakes and eat them too......
