VIDEO ON MSN MONEY
My first child was born in Switzerland, and Sophie could be purchased just about everywhere (in grocery stores, department stores, etc.) for about the equivalent of $7-10.
I think French citizens would laugh that Sophie is considered a "trendy, splurge, bling" toy by Americans.
It is funny that people are upset over the way that rich people spend their money. Most of these people have more money than they know what to do with..Why ?? Because we all gave it to them by buying their music and watching their movies. What do you expect them to do with it? Pay the National debt? Take care of the worlds homeless and poor? Many of them do donate time and money to all of this ( whether it be for PR purposes or pleasure). If it makes them happy to spend outrageous amounts of money (that they happen to have in abundance anyways) on stupid useless items for their kids then that is ok. At least they arent out spending that same money on drugs like many other celebrities have done. They can sit on it or spend it .. It isnt their job to give every send away for every bleeding heart cause. They earned their money doing a job that pays in excess and they have a right to spend it however they want.
Ok, $130,000 sounds like alot of money to spend on your kid for Christmas, but it is their money, and if you figure what percentage that is of their income, I am pretty sure my Fiancee and I spent a larger percentage of our income on my son last year for Christmas!
And who cares if they but designer diapers, do you seriously think celebrities bought all of them? No way, I on occasion buy them for my son! It is adorable to see him running around with camo or flower butt!
