$80,000 Barbie Doll for Beyonce’s first Baby Birthday

 DOTING Beyoncé Knowles and hubby Jay-Z splashed out $80,000 — around £50,000 — on a diamond-encrusted Barbie for their daughter’s first birthday.

The customised doll for little Blue Ivy includes 160 of the gems, plus white gold jewellery.

 The mega-rich singers also threw a lavish princess-themed party for close family and pals to mark her special day. The bash in New York included £60,000 of white and pink roses as decorations and a cake costing £1,500.

Another £20,000 went on accessories and toys for Blue Ivy’s young guests, including jewellery sets, princess costumes and playhouses.

Adults were given elaborate goodie bags including concert tickets and personalised gold pens with Blue Ivy and each guest’s name engraved on them.

Destiny’s Child star Beyoncé, 31, and rapper Jay-Z, 43, were declared the world’s highest-paid celeb couple last year after raking in $78million (£48million) in 12 months.
