Jay-Z, Beyonce spent £1 million on Blue Ivy toys: Gold rocking horse, Swarovski chair, mini Bugatti
Blue Ivy Carter, the eldest child of music icons Beyoncé and Jay-Z, was born into a life of extraordinary privilege. As the daughter of such influential figures, her every want and need are met with unparalleled luxury.
Jay-Z recently addressed the civil lawsuit accusing him and Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in 2000. He made rare public remarks about his wife Beyoncé and their three children while responding to these allegations.
On December 8, the 55-year-old rapper spoke about the allegations outlined in a federal lawsuit initially filed in October. The case, which originally named Combs as the primary defendant, was later amended to include Jay-Z.
Reports indicate that Beyoncé and Jay-Z have invested nearly £1 million in designing three extravagant nurseries across their various homes. These lavish spaces include unique pieces like a gold rocking horse and a high chair adorned with Swarovski crystals.
A source disclosed to *Star* magazine:
- Nurseries: £240,000 spent on nursery furnishings.
- Rocking Horse: A handcrafted, solid gold Ginza Tanaka rocking horse costing £400,000.
- Luxury Crib: A Fantasy ‘Posh Tots’ coach carriage crib worth £30,000.
- High Chair: A Swarovski-studded high chair by Carla Monchen valued at £10,000.
- Outdoor Playhouse: A magical windmill playhouse priced at £20,000.
- Mini Bugatti: A child-sized version of the luxury car added to the collection.
The furnishings selected for Blue Ivy are fairy tale-inspired and exceptionally lavish. Among these is a handcrafted coach bed made in England from wood and fiberglass, designed to resemble a scene from a fairy tale. The bed’s oval-shaped interior is over six feet in length, making it a standout piece.
In addition to furniture, the couple has acquired several pieces of fine jewelry and keepsakes to celebrate Blue Ivy’s birth. These items include:
- Gold and platinum diamond-encrusted rattles.
- Charm bracelets and pacifiers from Tiffany & Co.
Blue Ivy’s arrival brought immense joy to the couple after they endured a challenging period. In a deeply personal revelation, Jay-Z shared in his song “Glory” that Beyoncé had suffered a miscarriage before conceiving Blue Ivy.
The emotional song narrates the couple’s apprehensions and dreams during Beyoncé’s subsequent pregnancy, highlighting their elation upon welcoming their "magical" child. The track even features Blue Ivy’s cries, serving as a heartfelt tribute to their daughter.
