There’s nothing like attending an extravagant celebration for one of your friends or family members. Despite the stress and planning involved with parties, they’re always worth the effort. Whether the celebration is at the beach or in the mountains, there’s nothing better than letting your hair down and dancing the night away. But there’s no better way to party than at a celebrity’s party. They know exactly how to plan their spaces to throw the best party in the world. If we had millions of dollars at our fingertips, we’d throw an extravagant party, too. Many of these parties took place on remote islands or castles around the globe, garnering attention from jealous fans. As much as we’d like to experience one of these parties, we’ll just have to give up the dream and hope for an invitation.

Kidchella With North West

If you thought an extravagant party was for adults only, you’re wrong. North West had a celebrity party at just one year old. The Kardashians took a complete spin on Coachella and threw one of the biggest parties a child has ever seen. At the party, the kids enjoyed a Ferris wheel, karaoke, snow cones, and face painting. There were even Yeezus t-shirts. The mini-festival was probably better than any birthday party you’ve been to. In a photo Kim shared, she said, “This is what life is about! Our baby girl turned 1 today! We played so hard that they passed out while we were watching the game! Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy in the world! The way you love our daughter and protect her makes me filled with so much love!” If you want to summon your inner child, then Kidchella was the event for you. As most people put it, it was over the top (Refinery 29).

Kate Moss’ Fortieth Birthday

There’s no better way to celebrate your fortieth birthday than with a massive four-day party. Cotswold, England felt the impact of the $130,000 per day party Kate Moss threw for herself. She went with a Glastonbury-themed celebration. At the party, she had tarot card readers, entertainers, fire jugglers, and a small show. The space was something from the movies, and at one point, the noise was so out of control that someone called the authorities. At the start of the party, Moss and her friends wanted to party for 34 hours to signify the hours of her birth, but they only made it to 18. It looks like the celebration was cut short because of a necessary human need, which is sleep. Still, partying for 18 hours with Kate Moss is likely on everyone’s bucket list and the experience of a lifetime (The Guardian).

Simon Cowell’s Million Dollar Birthday

Most of us hope we have one million dollars in our bank account one day, while others throw away one million dollars on their birthdays. In 2009, Simon Cowell invited 400 guests to Wrotham Park, a mansion in England. The party started before arriving at the destination when guests were escorted to the party in a fleet of limousines. In the bathroom, mini sharks swam around in tanks, the food was beyond bougie, and Cowell’s face was projected onto the manor, just so no one forgot whose birthday it was. That’s very Cowell of him. At the party, guests dined on lobster martinis, chicken soup, and apple pie. At the party, Kate Moss, Elton John, and Donald Trump attended. That’s a surefire way to have an interesting night in itself. Guests struggled to find the perfect gift to please the stubborn TV star, and his ex-girlfriend Sinitta said, “I have had so many calls from people going, ‘Oh my God! What can I get him?'” Simon Cowell is known for being hard to please, so we can only imagine the struggle his guests faced before his extravagant party (NY Daily News).

Kylie Jenner’s Italian Getaway

For $250 Million, Kylie Jenner spent her 22nd birthday on a luxury yacht and threw an extravagant party that made headlines around the world. Even though we only see photos of the aftermath, we can only imagine what happened aboard that ship. The ship’s name was Tranquility, but there was nothing tranquil about it. There’s no better way to float around the Mediterranean than in a yacht. Party attendees drank pina coladas, drove around on jet skis, and jumped off the ship and into the water. Money never seems to be an issue for the Kardashians, and it seems like each Hollywood star tries to outdo the other for every party (Observer).

Blue Ivy Carter’s First Birthday

There’s no better way to celebrate your first birthday than as something out of a fairy tale. Of course, Beyonce and Jay-Z would go over the top for their one-year-old, which is why they threw her a massive princess-themed bash. They adorned her with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of roses, and to top it all off, partygoers stuck their forks into a two thousand-dollar cake. Her Barbie Doll cost a whopping $80,000 because apparently, children need those sorts of things. At the party, a source said, “Nothing’s been too big or expensive for their little princess. They wanted her first birthday to set the tone for the rest of her life. They work hard for their money and the first thing they want to spend it on is their baby girl.” Let’s just say their baby girl is living the good life (Cheat Sheet).

Naomi Campbell’s 36th Birthday Party

Naomi’s boyfriend Badr Jafar threw her a three-day birthday party that cost $1.8 million. Turning 36 is very special. He rented out the Burj Al Arab Hostel in Dubai, and 18 floors of the hotel were closed off for the event. Each suite cost a whopping $1,200 per night, and they partied for 72 hours straight. Let’s hope they even used those suites. She didn’t want her guests to repeat an outfit, so she had a different theme for every single night. There was an all-white party, a Brazilian samba party, a hip-hop night, and more. If you have $1.8 million lying around, as Naomi Campbell does, you could do the same sort of celebration, which included Jay-Z, Barack Obama, the Beckhams, and Anna Wintour. The star-studded crew danced to beats put out by DJ Cassidy (Style Caster).
