We all know what it\u2019s like, scraping the money together and trying to think of birthday ideas for our loved ones. For the lucky few out there though, it\u2019s easy – fast cars, diamonds, heck maybe even an aeroplane, should do the trick.<\/p>\n

Jay Z buys Beyonce a $1 million car
\n\"\"
\n<\/strong>
\nYou know how your girlfriend naturally assumes you\u2019ve done something wrong if you buy her expensive flowers or fancy chocolates? Well, who knows what Beyonce must have thought when her then boyfriend and now hubby Jay Z rocked up with a $1 million car for her. Never one to do things by half, Mr Z picked out the super-stylish 1959 Rolls Royce convertible for the Destiny\u2019s Child star\u2019s 25th birthday. Imagine the look on his face when he saw the insurance bill though.<\/p>\n

Beyonce buys Jay Z…erm…a $2 million car
\n\"\"<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>
\nLike some kind of inter-marital game of oneupmanship, Beyonce went one better to show girls could run the world of buying pricey sports cars by splashing out $2m to buy her beloved the world\u2019s speediest roadster. Maybe she just got sick of him borrowing the keys to her Rolls, but the 255mph Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport was certainly a hit 41st birthday present for the 99 Problems rap star. The showbiz power couple\u2019s battle of extravagant gifts apparently hit ludicrous levels last year, when Jay reportedly bought Beyonce a private island in Florida Keys for a mere $20m. Crazy in Love indeed.

\nMariah Carey gets $5.4m diamond necklace and ring
\n\"\"<\/strong>
\nYou know a present is pricey when it has to be sent by private jet. Clearly not satisfied with the insurance offered by UPS, Price Azim, son of the Sultan of Brunei, took fan stalking to another level when he dispatched his own team of couriers by plane to deliver the diamond and platinum necklace and ring set to US pop diva Mariah Carey before her concert at New York\u2019s Madison Square Garden in 2006. She was spotted as one of the guests at his star-studded 26th birthday bash three years later. Can\u2019t think why.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s Richest Man buys his wife a $60m plane
\n\"\"\u00a0<\/strong>
\nWhile many women would be satisfied with a budget flight on EasyJet for their birthday, petrochemical tycoon and one-time world\u2019s richest man Mukesh Ambani took it quite a few steps further by buying his wife her own aeroplane. He presented his other half Nita with an Airbus 319 for her 44th birthday in 2007, worth a reported $60 million. He already owned his own Boeing Business Jet 2 so it was ridiculous to think they could both share one plane, can you imagine the arguments? But then he is worth $27 billion, so I guess he could afford it.<\/p>\n

Richard Burton buys Elizabeth Taylor a $1m diamond
\n\"\"\u00a0<\/strong>
\nThere must be plenty of husbands scrabbling around for 40th birthday ideas who have fallen back on the old favourite of buying their wife a diamond. Few have done it quite as extravagantly as Hollywood legend Richard Burton, however, who splashed out more than $1m back in 1972 on a pear-shaped diamond for his on-off wife Elizabeth Taylor on her 40th birthday. They later divorced, remarried, divorced again and she hocked the ring for $5m six years later. Charming.<\/p>\n
