Just imagine if the world was your playground. These parties sure made it seem like a possibility! Win the NYE of a lifetime with ASOS. You + a mate party in Miami, hop on a private jet to Tulum, Mexico to usher in 2014 at the Young Turks NYE party. Sound great? Course it does.

Topshop boss Philip Green’s 60th reportedly cost £6m. What do you get for shelling that out, you may ponder. Well, Stevie Wonder, The Beach Boys and Michael Bublé sing, hot Hollywood types play ball sports on the beach, and you get the whole resort to yourselves. Security were on jet skis and burgers were £50 a pop. Srsly.

Three days of peace, love and music. At some guy’s farm. This was mosh pits before they were posh pits. Bet there were no chips squished into the grass either.

5. Mariah Carey’s way spenny dinner party

A birthday dinner with 10 of your nearest and dearest might sound boringly do-able, but MC knows just what touches make a simple meal completely ridiculous. They private jetted to Barbados for their grub, drank Dom P and had the cake flown in from New York City. Just like us then.

6. Six months at Villa Nellcôte with The Rolling Stones

Those glorious rockers and their hangers-on chose the ultra-secluded gaff to escape for a spell and, more importantly, record Exile on Main St. The music-making mayhem didn't stop for six months.

7. Paris Hilton’s 21st birthday

Paris sneakily avoided waking up sad, older and alone for five whole days by paying $75k per guest to celebrate with her in NYC, LA, Las Vegas, Tokyo, and London. Clearly her friends are super busy working bods too.

8. Osea

Huh? Exactly. Just off the coast of Essex, there’s a hive of celeb hedonism. Now you know.

9. P. Diddy's White Party

Via Rex UK

Since 1999, Sean Combs has managed to convince all his mates to spend an evening at one of his humble abodes dressed in head-to-toe white, all to raise a little dollah for charity. Probs the most famous gaff parties since Gatsby. But with more champagne, and less taste.

10. Naomi Campbell’s 40th

“When I grow up, I want my birthday party to cost $1.8 million.” Said no-one ever. Nazzle Camblz is all about it though. Her week of parties in Cannes included Hollywood’s fave theme All White, as well as Brazilian samba and hip hop nights. Play on, player.

11. Project X

Terrible film. Epic party.
