It’s pretty easy to assume that every celebrity will have an amazing Christmas with all of the luxuries their parents can afford. We can imagine them flying into a relative’s city in a private jet. Many celebs are buying their fiancé a brand-new Mercedes or spoiling their kids with a stockpile of the hottest toys under the tree. Regardless, we’re guessing that the rich and famous celebrate BIG. Let’s try not to feel bad about how much we get for our kids. Not every kid needs a mansion or an exotic trip to the Maldives. They’ll be okay with some Hot Wheels or a new dress-up costume; we promise.
But what about the celeb kiddos who are having a bad year so far? Their chances of a happier Christmas aren’t all that high — are they? In some situations, it could be family drama. In others, it might be the parents’ personal decisions.
We think that it would suck to be a celeb kid and know that your parents are loaded but they aren’t showering their littles with sh*t for Christmas. It’s pretty harsh, considering how materialistic society is today, but maybe a divorce will mean double the presents? We’ll have to wait and see how things unfold.
Here are some of the luckiest celeb kids who will most likely make bank this holiday season. They’ll wake up to tons of new toys, video games, electronics, and whatever else they may want. Then there are those who might have some challenges this holiday season — for one reason or another. Let’s dig a little deeper to see who’s getting coal, who’s getting spoiled, and who’s getting nothing at all!
15 North And Saint West Live It Up
This one’s most likely a given. North and Saint West — the children of Kimye (Kim Kardashian and Kanye West) — are guaranteed to have their dreams come true this year. Why? Because looking back to when North was just one year old, Kim and Kanye spent nearly £50,000 on her. That is nearly $60,000 in the United States. Crazy! That year — from her parents alone — North received a diamond tiara and a mini SUV. This mini SUV was made to look just like Kanye’s. When you’ve got that kind of money to spend, why not go all out?
Anyway, that sets the standard for birthdays and Christmases to come. So, Kim and Kanye better be able to maintain it — which we’re sure they will. North and Saint are some of the luckiest kids in Hollywood, based on their parents’ wealth and the way holidays are celebrated around their home. Plus, with so many rich and famous relatives and family friends — like Kathie Lee Gifford and the Jenner clan — they’re only going to get bigger and better gifts.
14 Prince George And Princess Charlotte Get The Royal Treatment
The royal children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge — Prince George and Princess Charlotte — live in luxury every day. But we’re sure Christmas is celebrated extravagantly at their 10-bedroom mansion, because why not? They have the money and the help that they need to go all out — from decorations and dinners to stockings and presents.
Prince George is four-years old; Princess Charlotte is two years old; and the Duchess — Kate — recently announced her pregnancy with her third child. Apparently, the young prince likes anything with wheels and enjoys riding his bike (without training wheels) around their mansion. Princess Charlotte loves princesses (shocking), but we’re all guessing she doesn’t quite understand that she too is a princess. So, these kids will get the throne eventually. But until then, we think they’ll find lots of exquisite gifts underneath the tree!
13 The Jenner’s Jump Around — In Balenciaga Boots
Kendall and Kylie Jenner — the daughters of Kris and Caitlin Jenner — are given just about anything they want as it is. But how could Kris not go big on Christmas? This isn’t one of the biggest grand totals on the list, but it’s still much more than most of us would expect under our own trees. Thanks for the sweater and the toothbrush, Grandma.
One year, the Jenner girls each received Christian Louboutin shoes, a Celine purse, and boots from Balenciaga. How much did that total run their parents? It was valued up to around $10,000, which seems like a lot to just about any non-rich and famous person.
Based on this past gift-giving situation, we’re guessing it’s only going to get better from here on out for the Jenner girls on Christmas. We’re not sure what else they could possibly need, but we think that after you’ve been this wealthy for this long, wants are where it’s at.
12 The Beckhams Bend The Rules
David and Victoria Beckham are the parents of four children. Brooklyn is 18-years old, Romeo is 15, Cruz is 12, and Harper (the only girl) is 6. These kids are — without a doubt — spoiled as it is. We’ve seen them on the red carpet many times and at various fashion shows. Of course, they attend plenty of soccer games, given their dad’s past career. We know their family is rich and famous, but does that mean they definitely go above and beyond for Christmas? Basically, yes.
Let’s take a look back at the Beckham family’s Christmas celebrations from years gone by. One year, the children received an expensive family trip to the Maldives, which made their Christmas total up to £250,000. When you have that much money to spend, it makes sense to take an elaborate vacation, and the experiences are much better than material gifts too. Who doesn’t love a quarter-million-dollar memory?
11 Suri Cruise'd Into Her Own Palace
The daughter of these two stars — Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise — is 11-years old and surely looking forward to Christmas this year. Her parents split up last year, but now that the smoke has (hopefully) cleared, she’s got a good chance of getting the coolest gifts this year. She will likely get presents from both Tom and Katie. In fact, she will probably have two Christmas dinners, two stockings, two trees, and two of everything else this holiday season.
Let’s rewind a couple of years to when Suri Cruise received a $13.5-million gift from her parents for Christmas. Now, let that sink in. And try to consider what the heck the then nine-year-old would have needed that cost that many figures. A mansion. Tom and Katie bought their nine-year-old daughter a $13.5 million mansion. Tom reportedly made this purchase so she had a place to drive her miniature toy cars. With that standard set, we can only dream of what she’ll open this year.
10 Levi, Vida And Livingston Alves-McConaughey — The Luxe Life
Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves are the parents of three young kids named Levi (9), Vida (7), and Livingston (4). The couple has a combined net worth of around $100 million, which means these kids are going to get pampered this year (and every year and day to follow). With the kids’ closeness in age, they will likely get some combined gifts, in addition to presents solely for themselves.
Any one of us would gladly become an Alves-McConaughey to receive a piece of that $100 million jackpot. Yes, it would have to be split a few ways, but that’s the least of our concerns. Keep an eye out to see what Levi, Vida, and Livingston open on December 25th, because it’s sure to be extravagant. But don’t get too down about it; we can’t all be that lucky.
9 Blue Ivy, Sir, And Rumi Carter Learn The Meaning Of Christmas
We all know these little ones because of their superstar parents — Beyoncé and Jay Z — along with their unique names. The parents of Blue Ivy, Sir, and Rumi Carter are valued at over a billion dollars between them. These siblings are sure to have an amazing Christmas, and we know exactly why. While their parents do have the money to buy them nice things — and lots of them — we know that Jay-Z and Beyoncé are both hard-working individuals. They didn’t get everything handed to them, and we don’t think they’ll hand everything to Blue Ivy, Sir, and Rumi either.
We’re thinking that they will get a few gifts this year — just enough to make their Christmas more special. But Beyoncé and Jay-Z will probably spend more time with family than on gift-giving, which will help their kids to learn to work hard for what they want. Isn’t this the true spirit of Christmas anyway?
8 Honor And Haven Warren Are Honored To Have The Parents They Do
Honor, 9, and Haven, 6, are the two daughters of Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren. They’ve been married since 2008 and are now expecting their third child together. Combined, Warren and Alba are worth over $200 million, which means they definitely have enough money to spoil Honor and Haven this Christmas.
Because Honor and Haven are close in age, we’re guessing they have some similar interests and can share most of their presents. As mentioned before, sometimes this can be like getting twice as many presents. Score!
Alba and Warren seem very committed to each other and to their family. So, we feel like they will continue to do their best to give their children what they want. With the money they have and their celebrity status, they can probably gift their children just about anything.
7 Harper And Gideon Burtka-Harris — A Doubled Up Christmas
The two seven-year old twins of Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka are one of the cutest little duos around. Their parents are pretty loaded with a combined net worth of $18 million. That being said, we’re assuming these kids will get pretty darn lucky this holiday season. Plus, since there are two of them, and they’re the same age, they’re technically doubling up on presents. That is, as long as they can share.
So, considering Harper and Gideon’s parent’s wealth — along with their irresistible adorableness — we think that they’ll end up with lots of gifts underneath the tree. From what we’ve seen, the two are excellent parents, and great parents usually mean great kids!
Regardless of their behavior, who could say no to those sweet faces? We can definitely see NPH and Burtka going above and beyond to make the twins’ Christmas extra special. Even Halloween is a big deal in their house, and they go all out to come up with the most creatively coordinated costumes for their family.
6 Jayden And Sean Federline Reap The Benefits Of Their Parents’ Success
The two sons of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, Jayden (11) and Sean Preston (12), will surely get some of the best gifts the stores can supply this year. Their mom alone is worth nearly $200 million. Add in K-Fed’s net worth, and these kids are bound to be spoiled. If the money alone isn’t convincing, take a look back at the boys’ joint Pokémon birthday party last year. Spears went all out on decorations and Pokémon-themed food for a pool party at their luxurious home.
Being nearly the same age, and both being into the same things (like Pokémon), this duo is likely to get a ton of gifts this year. We think they’ll be happy, even if it means sharing. They did split a birthday party, and we didn’t see any drama break out. Plus, these guys are the perfect age for video games, which means even pricier presents, like gaming systems and accessories. Spears and Federline will definitely give their kids a chance to indulge in the material things this holiday season.
And 5 Who Will Have The Worst
5 Jack Pratt Could Slip Through The Cracks This Break-Up Has Caused
After his two celeb parents’ recent split, four-year old Jack Pratt’s Christmas may be rough. There is a chance that he will end up with extra gifts as a result of the breakup, either because his parents feel bad for him or because they aren’t on the same page about who’s getting him what and where he’s spending his Christmas this year.
It’s also important to keep in mind that both breakups and the holidays are stressful times. So, there’s a chance that Jack may be short-changed or somewhat forgotten this year. But Anna Faris and Chris Pratt have tried their best to keep their split private in order to protect Jack. Although their love for each other has weakened, their love for their little guy, Jack, has remained steadfast. Hopefully Jack feels the same way and his wishes don’t get overlooked this year with the drama of the breakup!
4 Indiana And Atticus Affleck Pay For Their Parent’s Mistakes
Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix have split, leaving their two kids — Indiana and Atticus — in a tough spot. Especially come Christmastime. Where will the 12-year old and 9-year old boys spend their holiday season? We aren’t sure at this point, and that news may not be released to the public, but we have a feeling they won’t have a very merry Christmas.
Regardless of the terms on which Affleck and Phoenix called it quits, there are always issues, and even more appear when kids are involved. Things are bound to get messy, especially since they were a celebrity couple for so long. The media has obviously been pushing to find out more information about the breakup, which causes more tension for Phoenix and Affleck. The kids are probably suffering in one way or another, and the stress of Christmas likely won’t improve that.
3 The Jolie-Pitt Kids May Trade Joy For Pity
With their celebrity parents’ recent split, Shiloh, Maddox, Vivienne, Zahara, Knox, and Pax may not get the best Christmas this year. With the potential family drama, possible custody battles and the adjustment that a split brings, there are bound to be some difficulties this holiday season. Who gets the kids on Christmas Day? How do presents work this year? Will the kids guilt their parents into giving them extra loot?
Because of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s wealth, they can definitely afford to spoil their kids this year. But maybe the brokenness of the split-up family will weaken the holiday joy this year. Maybe all the kids want is for their parents to get back together so they can be one happy family again. We’ll be interested to see how things unfold for the six Jolie-Pitt kiddos. Hopefully, the presents can make up for some of the heartache and confusion from this break-up.
2 Wyatt And Dimitri Kutcher — A Very Russian Christmas
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have recently shared that they don’t do gifts for their kids at Christmastime — and guess what? The kids don’t have anything to do with it. This seems bizarre and unnecessary. Kunis and Kutcher have two young kids. Wyatt is three-years old and Dimitri is one-year old. Let’s see why the Kutcher offspring aren’t getting anything for Christmas this year — or any other year, for that matter.
Kunis was raised in communist Russia. So, she didn’t have a very Americanized Christmas experience until she moved to the United States. She and Kutcher want their kids to focus more on family instead of the stuff that they’ll be getting for Christmas.
They even went so far as to limit the grandparents’ gift-giving to one charitable donation. We understand that Kunis and Kutcher don’t want to raise spoiled, materialistic brats, but a couple of new toys wouldn’t be so harmful, would they?
1 Axl Jack Duhamel — Christmas Gets The Axe
Don’t recognize his name? That’s okay! We all know his parents, Fergie and Josh Duhamel. Axl is the son of these two stars, and he just turned four in August. His parents are clearly rich and famous, as are all of the celebs on this list are. But why isn’t he getting the best Christmas gifts this year?
After eight years of marriage, Fergie and Josh Duhamel have grown apart and ended up having to split due to their differences. Poor little Axl probably doesn’t quite understand what’s going on between his parents, but he surely notices some kind of difference. Anyway, Axl is cute enough that he will be spoiled with gifts from his parents, but he may not experience the Christmas joy and warmth that we would normally expect from the holiday season when one’s family is intact. Hopefully the little guy isn’t neglected too badly by all of the break-up talk and potential custody battles.
