TALK about setting the bar high.
If this is what Beyonce buys Jay Z for
his birthday, what on earth is the rap star going to find under the tree this
Christmas?
It has been reported that the Crazy In Love singer surprised
her husband with a €4m diamond encrusted Hublot Big Bang watch – the most
expensive wrist watch on the planet. Ever.
The diamond watch, which has a
whopping 1,282 diamonds covering its face and wristband, sparkles from every
conceivable angle thanks to 140 carats of diamonds set in white gold.
And
the company, which is owned by French luxury giant LVMH, stated that it took 17
people 14 months to design and make the one-of-a kind time piece.
Jay Z
may have 99 problems but a gift certainly ain’t one, as his wife Beyonce is
known for her generous and extravagant presents.
Earlier this year, the
Halo singer spent €385,000 on a sapphire pinky ring for her hubby, which was
intended to show Beyonce's appreciation of Jay Z's support throughout her
pregnancy.
The deep blue ring also commemorated the birth of their
daughter Blue Ivy.
Last year she bought the rap star a €1.8m Bugatti car
for his birthday.
A source close to the couple said: “Beyonce will always
get Jay the best gifts money can buy. She knew he would love the Hublot Big Bang
watch. It's the ultimate time piece.”
Jay Z is a watch enthusiast and has
a pretty impressive collection.
“Jay Z is a huge watch collector and was
very excited when he was given the gift. He can't wait to start flashing it
around,” said a source.
And the Empire State of Mind singer knows how to
spoil his wife of five years too.
In 2012, he bought her €270,000 worth
of Hermes Birkin bags.
Earlier this year, Beyonce and Jay were listed as
the world's richest couple in Forbes magazine.
Not bad, considering that
Beyonce has scaled down her work schedule after giving birth in January this
year.
While Beyonce has been focusing on motherhood, she's still managed
to rake in royalties from past hits, benefiting from her various endorsement
deals and other ventures, including her clothing line House of Dereon, making
her personal income €32m.
Meanwhile, her husband has been touring the
world with fellow rapper Kanye West, and their sellout Watch The Throne tour has
helped him add a further €30m to their combined income.
