Sources say Jones was in Houston when the bag arrived, but FaceTimed Kanye on Tuesday so he could see her excitement as she opened it. The source also claimed that it was Jones, not Ye, who requested the Birkin first. She was allegedly asking for this exact bag, as it’s no longer in circulation and extremely rare —and everybody knows a rare Birkin is an expensive Birkin.
Most people would have to lift their jaws off the floor after seeing that insane $275,000 sticker price. However, Kanye is worth billions of dollars thanks to his Yeezy line and probably didn’t even check to see how much it costs.
Birkin Bags are the ultimate status symbol, and Kanye has a history of using them to show his love. In 2013, Yeezy surprised his then-wife Kim Kardashian with a $40,000 Birkin that he had hand-painted by American visual artist George Condo, who did the artwork to his timeless classic My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Kim filed for divorce last February, but hopefully, she kept the gift because it's probably worth a fortune now.
The Luis Vuitton Don also gifted a Birkin to his last fling, Julia Fox, even though the bags are incredibly pricey, and they only dated for a few weeks. Not only that—Kanye surprised the actress's friends with a Birkin of their own on her birthday.
Birkin bags don’t come cheap. Handcrafted Birkin bags are some of the most expensive in the world. Prices start at $9,000, but rare bags like the Hermès Himalaya Birkin command a price north of $500,000.

"I was tired of seeing this sad, restrictive shapewear that literally no one wanted to wear. I had an epiphany like, 'who can actually do something about this?' I decided to take on the challenge of allowing women to feel unapologetically good about themselves again," she said in a statement launching her brand.
She continued "Instead of thinking about size in this linear way, we're thinking about it on a spectrum where everyone is included. Everyone's size is just their size. It's not high, it's not low. It's not big, it's not small. It's just your size.”
Yitty —which comes from Lizzo’s childhood nickname — is the singer’s first business. She says that she has been wearing shapewear for a long time but aspires for her line to be “radically different” than other shapewear brands on the market.
And, with color names like Tempo Lavender and Moody B---h Taupe, it's safe to say the singer is staying on-brand.
"These color names alone should make you feel like that bitch when you're putting the product on," she added.
With the launch of Yitty, the singer shared the criticism she dealt with that led her to wear shapewear at a young age.
"I felt that I was constantly being told through TV and magazines that my body wasn't good enough. And, in order to be considered 'acceptable' I had to inflict some sort of pain upon it to fit into an archetype of beauty. Because of this, I've been wearing shapewear for a long time, maybe since I was in fifth or sixth grade," she said.
Early this morning, Blac Chyna turned to Twitter to claim she recently sold three cars to support her children. "Yesterday I had to give up 3 of my cars …my reasons… morals, beliefs, being a single mother, no support I'm a MAMA,” she wrote.
She went on to make another post, writing, “Single no support child support,” but added she was “practicing gratitude.”
But it didn’t take long for her children’s fathers to reply via social media denying her claims. As PEOPLE Magazine explains, Rob Kardashian left a comment under a screenshot The Shade Room posted to Instagram.
Not only did Rob claim he pays his daughter’s school tuition, but that she’s with him during most of the week. Rob shares 5-year-old daughter Dream with Chyna.
"I pay 37k a year for my daughter's school. I handle every single medical expense,” he commented. “I pay for all her extracurricular activities. I have my daughter from Tuesday-Saturday. Why would i pay child support lol.”
Chyna also shares a 9-year-old son, King Cairo, with Tyga. Like Rob, the rapper also left a comment on The Shade Room’s post refuting Chyna’s allegations. He also said his son stays with him 5 days a week.
"I pay 40k a year for my son school & he lives w me mon- sat. Why would I pay child support lol,” Tyga wrote. He also responded directly to Rob, writing, “How u pay 3k less. Let me kno the plug.”
Chyna’s allegations come months after Rob requested to dismiss a long-standing lawsuit against his ex-fiancé. In February, we reported that Rob released a statement explaining that while the court found evidence to proceed with a jury trial, he believed it was in his daughter’s best interest to withdraw the lawsuit and focus on co-parenting.
"My love for Dream far outweighs my desire to proceed with my claims against her mother in a public trial," he stated.
Rob originally filed the lawsuit following a 2017 domestic assault in which he claimed Chyna choked him with an iPhone cord during an argument. The incident took place at Rob’s younger sister Kylie Jenner’s home.
However, Chyna’s lawyer Lynne Ciani released a statement hinting her client may pursue legal charges against Rob.
"Rob Kardashian should have thought of his daughter Dream before he filed his malicious and baseless assault and battery lawsuit against Dream's mother,” Ciani said. “Chyna will now seek relief from the court to make sure that Rob cannot refile his lawsuit and to make him pay for her substantial litigation costs.”
Chyna is also part of an ongoing lawsuit against Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner for allegedly interfering with her career as well as a separate one against Rob for releasing her nude photos.
Pink Floyd was the pioneer in creating blues-based progressive rock and psychedelic space rock using an emotional commentary that has given the band a legendary status. Nick, as the drummer, was the only member of the crew who remained a part of the group from its inception until it disbanded. He has amassed a $180 million net worth through the successful music run. Being an avid collector has spent a lot of his fortune buying vintage cars over the years. A fan of mechanical things, he has loved tuning and restoring his vintage cars worth millions today.
From rare-edition Ferrari cars that cost an arm and a leg in the market to race-worthy first iteration McLaren F1, each car owned by Nick Mason has a different story to tell from a different time and age. Let’s take a look at the Pink Floyd drummer’s beautiful car collection.
10 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO ($42 million)
Among Mason's fleet of Ferrari cars, the most famous is the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. Nick purchased the car in the seventies for $42,000, and the same car is now worth $42 million. As only 36 units of the 250 GTO got built, it is an extremely rare car in the market, as noted by GQ. As the car was hand-built, no two 250 GTOs look the same. Mason has driven its powerful V12 engine on many occasions.
In 2009, the Maserati 250F got voted the world’s greatest racing car. In the 1950s, the car got raced by legendary drivers Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio. For the 1957 iteration, the car got equipped with a 2.5-liter V12 engine instead of the in-line six for maximum speed on the racecourse. It provided an output of a whopping 220-270 HP.
8 1955 Jaguar D-Type ($5.7 million)
Launched in 1954, the Jaguar D-Type won three straight 24 Hours of Le Man's titles between 1955 and 1957. The D-Type got strapped with a 3.4-liter XK in-line six-cylinder engine that makes 245 HP. Jaguar only manufactured 17 race cars, 11 with a long nose in addition to 54 race cars for the public.
7 1927 Bugatti Type 35B ($605,000)
One of the most popular racing cars, the Bugatti Type 35, was only produced between 1924 and 1930. As a forefather of the Chiron, it had a 2.0-liter straight-eight engine under the hood. According to Motor Trend, the 35B was a power upgrade and came with a 2.3-liter in-line eight that offered a top speed of 134 MPH.
6 1953 Ferrari 250 MM ($13 million)
One of the most illustrious cars ever made, only thirty-one 250 MM models were made by Ferrari. The midcentury 250 MM raced in a border-to-border sedan rally called Carrera Panamericana. The 1953 iteration won many additional races, making it a favorite amongst the Ferrari clientele. After the car retired from racing, it went through three restorations before Mason purchased it in 2011.
5 1901 Panhard 5-litre ($379,000)
While Panhard vehicles are rarely seen on the streets today, they had a strong presence in the market during the start of the 20th century. The oldest car in Mason’s collection, the Panhard was a vintage beauty with a 5-liter engine that squeezed 24 HP. It could ferry four to five people at once and race a 54-mile race at a time.
4 1996 McLaren F1 GTR ($10 million)
In 1992, McLaren introduced the F1 and took the supercar market by storm. It was the first car made from carbon fiber with a center-mounted driver’s seat. It was the fastest production car with unique features and innovations. It got equipped with a 6-speed V12 engine that gave an output of 600 horses and pranced to 60 MPH in merely 3 seconds, as noted by Top Speed.
3 1935 Aston Martin Ulster ($3 million)
The model that made Aston Martin famous before the second World War, the Ulster, was a competition car with a rugged chassis, and the 1.5-liter car tackled all the critical races in the world, from the Mile Miglia to the Le Mans. It has served as a part of many long-distance rallies over the years.
2 1959 Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage ($3.52 million)
Tipo 61, nicknamed Birdcage, was introduced to replace the series of roofless cars designed by Maserati. The Birdcage was Maserati's first front-mounted engine car with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The car set a speed record for the fastest car under the 3.0-liter engine category at the 24 Hours Le Mans.
1 1970 Ferrari 512 S ($3 million)
After Ferrari sold 50 percent of its ownership to Fiat, Enzo Ferrari began a new project for the 5-liter class. The company built 25 models within three months to approve the car. The 512 S got equipped with a four-cylinder V12 engine that delivered a whopping 550 HP with a top speed of 211 MPH, as stated by Ferrari.
While it is said that Nick Mason’s collection once had 40 cars in his collection, the drummer has kept the location of his other automobiles a secret from everyone. As one of the biggest celebrity petrolheads, his collection has made him a part of several vintage car associations, and the rare cars have been borrowed and used by people for various occasions.
Ukraine has just seven billionaires, many of which are plagued with accusations of fraud, embezzlement and sanctions; however, it appears whatever distrust or ill will the richest of the country face, they’ve currently set aside their differences with President Volodymr Zelensky for the good of the country.
In late Feb., when the Russia-Ukraine crisis began, it was reported that some of Russia and Ukraine’s richest fled the country out of fear, however, they soon returned for a number of reasons; protecting assets, donating financial support and more.
Check out Ukraine’s richest and how they have been affected by the recent events.
7 Rinat Akhmetov – $ 7.6 Billion
In Nov. of 2021, MSN reported Akhmetov had been accused by Zelensky to have worked with Russian leaders to overthrow Ukrainian government. Though Akhmetov denied all accusations, and tensions seem to have eased in recent weeks between the two, the founder and president of System Capital Management (SCM) a financial and industrial holding company, has the opportunity to prove himself now. Just this week, Akhmetov has shared plans for the various plants he owns in Mariupol, a war-ravaged city, saying “under no circumstances” will his plants work under Russian occupation. Akhmetov’s net worth is $4.6 billion today, a substantial loss due to war-torn areas in the country.
Akhmetov has been through this before. During the war between Russia and Ukraine in 2014, many of his assets including real estate and the Shakhtar Donetsk (home to Ukraine’s successful soccer team) became worthless overnight when the property was seized. Despite the risk, Akhmetov has continued to support evacuation, healthcare, and more among the Ukrainian people.
The CEO of Interpipe, a steel production company is reportedly weighed down by heavy debt within the business, however, he’s spent more than a decade giving back through his charitable entity, Viktor Pinchuk Foundation and created the largest scholarship program in Ukraine to date. Pinchuk even has ties to some of America’s elite. The Foundation created an open-air benefit concert led by Paul McCartney and they are also behind the production of a film with Steven Spielberg on the Holocaust in Ukraine. It’s estimated his new net worth is around $1.9 billion today.
5 Kostyantin Zhevago – $2.4 Billion

Another wealthy businessman under scrutiny from the government, Zhevago owns a majority stake in mining company Ferrexpo, however, he stepped down as the firm’s CEO after an investigation by Ukraine’s state prosecutor office began. Prior to this, the billionaire was wanted for questioning about an alleged money laundering scheme at his former bank. As of Dec. 2021, Zhevago was placed on an international wanted list. Not surprisingly, he has not commented on the current Russia-Ukraine conflict, but it’s estimated his net worth has fallen to $1.4 Billion.
4 Ihor Kolomoyskyi – $1.8 Billion
Facebook@IhorKolomoyskyi
The oil baron and banking mogul was known to spend millions equipping Ukrainians with military supplies to fight Russian troops back in 2014. He’s changed his tune recently, urging Ukraine to side with Russia in order to find peace among the bordering countries. In March of 2021, the U.S. State Department sanctioned Kolomoyskyy for corruption and the U.S. Justice Department filed a civil complaint against him, regarding alleged fraud and theft from PrivatBank. So far, Kolomoyskyy has been quiet during the current crisis but his net worth has fallen to $1 Billion.
3 Henadiy Boholyubov – $1.7 Billion
Instagram@Henadiy Boholyubov
Former business partner to Kolomoyskyy, Boholyubov has also remained silent in the recent conflict. He co-founded PrivatBank in the early 1990’s and was caught up in fraud accusations over the past decade. It’s estimated Boholyubov and Kolomoyskyy’s bank eventually served nearly half the country’s population. The two even settled a lawsuit with fellow billionaire Pinchuk in 2016, for damages on mining investments. Boholyubov’s current net worth is approximately $1.1 Billion.
2 Petro Poroshenko – $1.6 Billion
The former Ukrainian President has been outspoken throughout the Russia-Ukraine crisis. He has spoken defiantly against Russian President Vladimir Putin and his belief that not only is Ukraine fighting for themselves, but for the entire west, including the United States. He’s been one of the most visible, wealthy officials supporting Ukrainians and according to ABC News, has repeatedly visited the front lines and spoken to media. In Jan. Poroshenko returned to his home country to face charges of treason that he claims are politically motivated. Poroshenko has been donating toward his country’s cause and has an estimated net worth of $1 Billion.
1 Vadim Novinsky – $1.4 Billion
Instagram@Vadim Novinsky
Novinsky is known as the most pro-Russian Ukrainian billionaire, proposing negotiations with Russia’s members of parliament and trying to ease tensions. Despite his involvement in business and political agendas, he was recently named a deacon of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, perhaps another reason the billionaire is anxious to seek peace over war. Novinsky is co-owner of Ukraine’s Smart Holding Group, and according to CEO World, also has a large stake in Akhmetov’s iron ore producer Metinvest. To date, it doesn’t appear Novinsky has lost much in the financial realm. He’s still standing at a net worth of $1.4 Billion.
Jim Carrey is calling out Will Smith for his attack on Chris Rock at the Oscars, saying that he was “sickened” by what he saw. The actor was promoting a new film when he claimed he would have taken Smith to court for $200 million if he was in Rock's shoes—because “that video is going to be there forever.”
Carrey was on CBS Mornings to promote his new flick Sonic 2 when the conversation turned to the viral Oscars moment. Co-host Gayle King asked for his thoughts on the attack, and how he felt about Smith taking the stage moments later to accept an award.
“I'd have announced this morning that I was suing Will for $200 million because that video's gonna be there forever,” Carrey said of the viral clip. “It's gonna be ubiquitous. That insult is gonna last a very long time.”
He continued: “You do not have the right to walk up on stage and smack somebody in the face because they said words.”
After the infamous slap, Smith returned to the stage to accept the award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Venus and Serena Williams’ father in King Richard.
On stage, the actor apologized to the Academy and fellow nominees—but not to Rock. Several actors stood up after Smith's big win was announced, including fellow Best Actor nominee Benedict Cumberbatch, actress Maya Rudolph, and Best Director nominee Paul Thomas Anderson.
“I was sickened by the standing ovation,” Carrey said of the moment. “I felt like Hollywood is just spineless en masse. It really felt like this is a clear indication that we're not the cool club anymore.”
The Bruce Almighty actor briefly crossed paths with Smith in the 1990s on Fox's In Living Color, and says that he doesn’t have anything against him—but says the attack was not a good look for Smith, calling it a "selfish moment."
Millions of dollars in luxury cars have been recovered after a months-long investigation in California.
Sharing to their Facebook page, the Special Services Vehicle Theft Unit of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Southern Division shared they had concluded a two-month investigation into vehicle theft after a variety of luxury models had been fraudulently purchased from local dealerships.
“A search warrant was served by the unit in the San Fernando Valley, where investigators recovered approximately 35 stolen luxury vehicles, which included Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes Benz, and Porsche,” the social media post explained.
The authorities confirmed they arrested one person in connection to the theft. They also seized one firearm in addition to discovering an “indoor marijuana grow operation of well over 400 plants was discovered.”
The CHP ended their post by encouraging anyone with knowledge of the crime to come forward. “This is an ongoing investigation, and if you have information or believe you were possibly a victim of this type of vehicle theft, please contact the CHP Southern Division Vehicle Theft Unit at 323-644-9550,” the post read.
Auto Blog reports that thirty-five cars were recovered on a property in Van Nuys. The reported total of the cars that were recovered is estimated to be over $2.3 million USD.
One of the cars that was founded included a Bentley Continental GT, which often goes for $200,000 or higher. Other notable cars recovered included a current-generation BMW X6 (est. $85,000) and an Aston Martin Vantage ($143,000).
This may be a win for investigators, but there are plenty of other luxury cars that remain missing, including nearly $1 million in designer vehicles that were stolen from an Illinois dealership this year.
Earlier this month, we reported that 14 luxury cars were stolen from Autobarn Collection located on the 1900 block of Greenwood Street in the early hours of the morning. The thieves made off with models from brands like BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Maserati, and Bentley.
Security footage showed the thieves entering the dealership after breaking a window with a crowbar. They were then able to disassemble the security system. After breaking the lock box, they were able to make away with most of the designer cars featured in the showroom.
In other luxury car news, we reported that a cargo ship carrying $335 million in designer vehicles sank after a fire broke out on the Atlantic Ocean. Luckily, all crew members were evacuated without any injuries.
Katy Perry has put her Beverly Hills home on the market for a cool $19.5 million five years after purchasing it.
According to Mansion Global, the pop star has listed the property with Brett Lawyer of Hilton & Hyland. The listing describes the property as one of the “most private and special homes in the exclusive guarded celebrity enclave of Hidden Valley Road in Beverly Hills.”
The 6,000 square foot home comes with 5 bedrooms and X6bathrooms. It features a gym, sauna, library, eat-in kitchen, butler’s pantry, and cold plunge pool. Its outdoor amenities include an infinity pool, outdoor lounge area, and outdoor dining terrace. It also comes with on-site security for maximum privacy.
The estate comes with over an acre of property featuring a variety of walking trails and greenery. The mile-long driveway is lined with tall trees, adding to its privacy.
Despite real estate prices increasing across North America, Katy’s listing price isn’t much higher than what she paid for the property in 2017, which was $18 million.
Katy’s decision to sell the Beverly Hills estate comes less than a year after she sold a second estate in the neighbourhood, which she reportedly used mainly for guests. Though she originally listed the property in October 2020, it didn’t sell until the following May for nearly $7.5 million. Despite the high price tag, Katy barely broke even on the property after purchasing it in 2018 for $7.45 million.
The home feature two separate wings – one of the wings houses an impressive master suite, which included a sitting area, veranda, and soaking tub.
It’s unclear if Katy is in the market to purchase another property. TMZ reports that she also owns a home in Montecito, which may become her primary residence. The singer spends a lot of her time at the Montecito property with her fiancé Orlando Bloom and their daughter, 1-year old Daisy Dove.
As per Hello! Magazine, Katy purchased the Montecito home for $14.2 million. The estate’s manicured greenery and elaborate pool as well as eccentric décor are often featured in the singer’s social media posts as well as those made by her fiancé.
Katy has an impressive real estate portfolio. Perhaps most famously, the ‘I Kissed A Girl’ singer tried to buy a former convent from a group of nuns, which resulted in a years-long legal battle dating back to 2015.

Kim Kardashian showed off one of the latest vehicles in her car collection and it’s clear the reality star loves to ride in style, as she spent nearly half a million dollars customizing a Maybach minivan for her and her four children.
During the season finale of Million Dollar Wheels,Kim was presented with a $400,000 Maybach minivan from celebrity car deal, R.D. Whittington, the man behind Wires Only, a transportation and entertainment company that specializes in creating custom vehicles for celebrity clientele.
The custom ride features a variety of luxury features, including “multi-color roof lighting, folding tables, seat heaters and coolers and reclining captain's chairs,” TMZ notes The minivan also comes with leather seats featuring diamond stitching as well as T.V. screens in front of all the seats.
It appears Kim may have been inspired by her estranged husband Kanye West, who we reported in January also spent $400,000 on a minivan customized by Whittington’s company. Ye’s Mercedes Benz van includes swivel seats, tray tables, studio-level speakers, and multiple TVs.
It's no surprise Kim and Kanye have dropped serious cash on luxury minivans given their large brood. Together, the former couple share four children – North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2. Despite tying the knot in 2014, Kim filed for divorce from the rapper last year. She was declared legally single in March though their divorce is not yet finalized.
Kim’s new Maybach is certainly stunning, but it’s hardly the only impressive car she has in her collection. One of her other recent purchases includes a Lamborghini Urus Mansory, which she bought for approximately $600,000 after filing for divorce from Kanye.
The SKIMS founder also owns a Rolls-Royce Ghost (worth an estimated $400,000), Mercedes Maybach GLS600 (estimated to be worth $200,000), and a Ferrari 458 Italian (which costs anywhere between $200,000 to $470,000).
“I really wanted something different. I wanted my cars to kind of blend in,” she explained to Vogue. “My house is grey and I wanted them to kind of match the house, so I did all grey cars.”
Kim may have expensive taste in cars, but she has the income to back it up. In January, her SKIMS brand was valued at $3.2 billion. The company increased sales by 90% in 2021 alone after launching in 2019. With the recent launch of the SKIMS swimwear collection, it's expected the brand will continue to grow.
