It’s no secret, the Dlaminis come with a bulky bank account and expensive taste. For the man of the house, Njengaye, when it comes to gifting his wife, not even the sky is the limit. For Christmas he gifted Phetheni a holiday to Dubai, which left her beaming with joy.
From private jets and exquisite diamond jewels to luxurious yachts and properties, we've collated some of the most expensive gifts A-listers gave.
Penthouse worth $88 million – Dmitry Rybolovlev
In 2012, Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev bought his then 22-year-old daughter, Ekaterina Rybolovleva, a lavish penthouse worth $88 million.
The property boasts ten rooms and a wraparound terrace. With panoramic views of Central Park, it became the most expensive apartment ever sold in New York.
Yacht worth $80 million – Anil Ambani
India’s business magnate, Anil Ambani, went to great lengths for his wife, Tina Ambani, when he bought her a 35-metre Ferretti yacht valued at $80 million. It had always been the Bollywood actress's dream to own a luxurious boat.
Dubbed the Rolls Royce of water, the yacht features dining in classic style and provides accommodation for twelve guests in six cabins with impeccably designed en-suite bathrooms.
Private jet worth $42 million – Jeff Bezos
In 2020 Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and one of the richest men in the world, gave his mother a private jet worth $42 million. The jet was customised with luxurious interiors, bedrooms, lounges, and state-of-the-art cockpit technology.
Diamond worth $1.5 million – Richard Burton
In 1969, actor Richard Burton showered his wife, Elizabeth Taylor, with what was then the world's most expensive diamond ever sold at an auction. Sitting at $1.5 million, after the power couple's divorce, Taylor put the diamond up for auction and received $3 million for the sale.
