What do the rich buy one another for Valentine's Day?

[SusanJillParker]

Do you ever wonder what Jay-Z buys his beloved Beyonce for Valentine's Day?

"Honey, I bought you another 20 carat diamond for Valentine's Day," said Jay-Z.

Beyonce made a face while wishing he bought her flowers and chocolate like any other normal husband.

"Put it over there with the other diamonds Jay that you gave me for Christmas. I haven't been to the bank vault yet."

And what does she buy a man who has everything?

"Happy Valentine's Day, Jay. Here are the keys to your new Ferrari," said Beyonce.

'Damn, another car,' thought Jay-Z. 'I could have used a bottle of cologne or new slippers, something that any normal wife would buy her husband.

What does Tom Brady buy Gisele? What does Gisele buy Tom Terrific?

What does Bill Gates buy Melinda? What does Melinda buy Bill?

Perhaps, they have something custom made or buy one another an expensive vacation.

What do you think? What would you buy your beloved if you were super rich?

"Honey?" Astrid Buffet, Warren's second wife, stared at the piece of paper her husband gave her before looking up at him. "What's this?"

Warren looked up from the financial page.

"It's your Valentine's Day gift. Happy Valentine's Day, Astrid."

(Astrid? What the Hell kind of name is Astrid? That's worse than Gisele or Beyonce? Seriously, c'mon, what ever happened to cool names for the super rich like Buffy of Muffy?)

"Thank you for the piece of paper but what is it?"

Warren looked at his wife annoyed.

"It's the title to Nebraska. It's yours now. You own it. I bought it and am giving it to you as a Valentine's Day gift. Happy Valentine's Day, my Dear."

Stunned she looked from the paper to look at him.

"Thank you, I think," she said while obviously wishing he had bought her New York so that she could finally get out of this Hell whole.

Happy Valentine's Day

Oops, I nearly forgot.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Last Sunday's issue of The Sunday Times listed suggestions for thoughtful and affordable Valentine's Day gifts starting from as low as 50 pounds (62 US dollars).

If I gave my wife a gift costing 50 pounds she'd respond with a list of things that 50 pounds could be better spent on. I'd be in the dog house!

Hmm, that's a tough one. Perhaps you should just give her the 50 pounds.

"Fifty pounds? You gave me fifty pounds for Valentine's Day? Do I look like a whore to you? I suppose you'll be expecting sex for that amount of money too," said Ogg's wife, Mrs. Ogg. "You should have bought me flowers, candy, and at least a card."

"But when I do, you complain," said Ogg.

"Complain? That's just my way of saying...Thank you."

After more than 40 years of marriage that's an unlikely scenario.

If I don't know by now what she wants?

We wouldn't have survived more than 40 years of marriage.

My wife collects, among other things, Art Deco costume jewelry, so I normally buy her a striking piece I think will look good in her display cases, or she'd be happy to wear when we go to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July; as a rule, I don't spend more than £100, anything more and she'd be annoyed - she prizes beautiful and authentic over expensive.

She's a keen gardener, with her own wild-flower meadow, and loves to see flowers living in flower-beds, not dead in vases, so roses are not usually a good idea, so I take her out to dinner somewhere nice instead, which she appreciates more than a truckload of expensive gifts. Tonight, we have a table at a place called 'The Fat Duck' in Bray, not too far from the film studios. She's decided that we're going to be James Bond and femme fatale du jour, so she can wear one of the 1960's Balmain dresses she found in Charing Cross market, which means I have to wear a dinner jacket and studs, and look up some of JB's lines so I can throw them at her and look like a seducer...

The only one I can remember is 'shaken, not shtirred', so I might have to write them on my cuff; it looks it's going to be a long, long evening...

This reminds me of a cute post I saw on Facebook yesterday--being particularly amusing as I'd just spent $7.00 for a Valentine's Day card. The post was about a couple that goes to card shop together on Valentine's Day, with each picking out a card for the other, reading the cards, and then putting them back and going for an ice cream cone.

I think this just turned into an advice column...and I'm taking the advice on this one!

AS Do The OP: What do the rich buy...I'm thinking... (No, I won't say it...I'll hold my unruly tongue in the spirit of ST Valentine )

I read one year, Jay Z gave Beyonce a two million dollar Bugatti.

This year, he gave her twins (lol).

Last year, Kim Kardashian gave Kanye West a $750,000 Lamborghini Aventador. She should have waited. They dropped in price the next year. Now you can buy one for $400,000.

Angelina Jolie gave Brad Pitt the door, felony child abuse charges, and an extended stay in rehab.

J Lo found another young, stud.

Flowers and chocolates pale in comparison.
