    Back in 2021, it was reported that Angelina gifted Brad a real waterfall for his birthday. Brad is apparently a big fan of architect Frank Lloyd Wright and always wanted to build a home in his style around a waterfall.

    The big 4-0 seems to be a momentous birthday in the Kardashian-West family, because for Kim's 40th birthday in 2020 (yes, the one on the private island) Kanye gave her a hologram of her late father, Robert Kardashian. The hologram apparently spoke to Kim and told her he's happy she married the most "genius" man in the world (Kanye).

    10. Ben Affleck gave Jennifer Lopez a $45,000 necklace

    Not just any necklace — a custom Foundrae necklace that depicts a timeline of their love. Since the pair has been on and off since 2002, their love story is certainly an expensive one.

    It was an 18-carat-gold Tibaldi Bentley Crewe pen that he had inscribed with her name. It is apparently one of only 40 in existence and cost $43,000.
