It must be good to be rich, and prime examples of that good life are Jay-Z and Beyonce.
While last minute shoppers were hustling about on Christmas Eve attempting to finish off their loved ones wish lists, Jay-Z hit up the Hermes' boutique to make sure his wife Beyonce would be happy on Christmas.
According to the NY Post, "Jay was in a private room of Hermes doing last-minute shopping. He had a guard standing watch outside. He spent $350,000 on Birkin bags, among other things." The buying binge took so long; Jay-Z missed his scheduled lunch at Nello, prompting the restaurateur to deliver his food to the store.
Now that's being catered to. That money will be replaced in his account quickly however as he is set to earn $1 million in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve performing at the Cosmopolitan resort. Coldplay will be joining the party, and Gwyneth Paltrow, who recently embarked on a country music career, will be a special guest of the band. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is married to Paltrow, making it easier
to secure both performers for New Year's.
Already there is a buzz around Las Vegas about Jay-Z performing. In past years, Jay-Z has held New Year's party's in different locations and each time the party has been one of the hottest in the country. This year will be no different with the Cosmopolitan one of the most expensive new casinos in the world, holding the bash.
"I can't wait to see Jay-Z on New Year’s," said self-described long-time fan Greg Bancy. "I know the tickets are going to be expensive, but I don't care. There is no better way to celebrate the New Year than with one of your idols."
Jay-Z does not need the money, and it is likely he is performing more to help the casino than to pad his bank account. Between himself and wife Beyonce, the couple has more money than they know what to do with.
The concert will be attended by 2,500 fans. The Cosmopolitan has almost 3,000 rooms and is expected to be the last of the casino expansion in Las Vegas for several years.
