Brooklyn Beckham gets £25,000 ear-rings for 6th birthday!!!!

[Janh]

From aol. No comment!

Brooklyn Beckham has been given the ultimate in bling for his sixth birthday - a pair of £25,000 earrings.

David and Victoria Beckham commissioned New York designer Jacob the Jeweller to create the diamond earrings, which are just like Brooklyn's father's £75,000 pair, reports The Daily Mail.

The couple reportedly wanted to give their eldest son a special present following a difficult year, which has seen intense tabloid speculation about the couple's marriage. Brooklyn will also have a birthday party at the couple's Spanish home - complete with clown, juggler and fire eater.

A source told the paper: "Brooklyn adores his father and always wants everything his dad has got.

"David and Victoria wanted to get him something extra special for his birthday. It has been a pretty tough year for the whole family."

Celebrity guests expected to attend the party include Elizabeth Hurley and Baby Spice Emma Bunton.

If Brooklyn decides that he doesn't want them I'll have them - how would that be for a mother's Day pressie! In fact I think David's would look better on me too - the earings, you understand not the man

Well said Hula.

Words fail me. If this is true than David and Victoria have lost the plot.

bet there are plenty of psychotherapists rubbing their hands at the bills that child is going to run up in later life..... D&V truly are the personification of vulagrity

I'd spend that kind of money on ds if I had it!
Maybe not on earrings, but I am sure I could find plenty to buy!

How many people here would live exactly how they do now if they were millionnaires, simply to teach the kids the value of money?
I know I couldn't/wouldn't.

May be not starlover, but I'm with Lou, a 6 yo won't care whether they cost £25 k or £2.50 as long as they look right and do the job. Plus , assuming he gets to wear them, what are the chances of one going down the plug hole - what is the reaction going to be ? Whoops, oh well we'll get you another one ! ? or don't you realise that cost me 25k ! Neither of which is ideal imho.

Yes I'd like to have that kind of money to spend and not worry about it but you don't have to spend 100k on things like a playground, I'm sure you could get similar for a far smaller budget. I really doubt those kids will realise how privileged they are, and the potential cost to them in terms of personal freedom and discretion is very sad.

oh yes, i realise that you don't HAVE to spend that kind of money... but I guess when you have millions and millions you just get used to spending like that!
you've gotta do something with it all!

It'd be nice if they put them oney back into the local community though- using local materials and builders and stuff for their playhouses and forts etc...

Brooklyn will probably only be allowed to wear his earrings for special occasions.. I'm sure he will get plenty of other stuff to play with that isnt quite so precious!

the cost to them in personal freedom etc was always going to be huge, simply because of their parents... makes no difference how much money they get spent on them.

Should posh and becks not have had children simply because they would have so much media coverage???

Sorry but would you pierce your 6 year old son's ears? I wouldn't but I suppose everyone's is different...

nope, I wouldn't.
see a lot of young boys with pierced ears about though...

No of course not, but can't help thinking that everything that gets into the press is in monetary terms - the £10m Verbier chalet after the Loos thing appeared last year, the 25k earrings, the 100k kids' fort...It wouldn't be so bad if you could actually see them getting some enjoyment out of it all but they just seem to have permanently itchy feet. Of course it may all be media spin but someone tells the press.

I do think that part of the reason so much is spent on them is to compensate for them not being able to go out to playgrounds and the like.
The kids could have a quieter life and don't really need to be dressed as mini models and paraded. It will be interesting when they have to settle into a more normal school routine and cultivate friends of their own.

maybe they'll be clip-ons like victoria's lip ring!

but isn't that the fault of the media not the parents?

Agree with you LIZS. You never see Louise and Jamie Redknapp in the paper as often as the Beckhams.

but they're hardly as famous as the beckhams are they?

they wouldn't sell as many papers/magazines

yuk....chav city. I wonder how much time and money they spend on books and reading to him.That's if they can actually read themselves of course.......was it Wilde who commented on true vulgarity being people who ' know the price of everything and the value of nothing' ?

No, that was a cynic, donnie.

i totally agree lockets

I know a couple of 'chavs' in real life - their children are very bright and have lots of books and at least one of them spends more time reading with her DD than I do with my DS

Just suggested this to ds who is 7 in a couple of weeks and he was distinctly unimpressed !! he'd give them to his sister !!

I read somewhere (here, probably!) that Brooklyn was overhead trying to cheer up Romeo on a plane journey with 'cheer up, our dad's David Beckham.'
