household. The huge assortment of orange-coloured boxes under their Christmas tree would have sent us into a veritable frenzy, for lucky Beyoncé proved she was the fairest of them all as she received an assortment of Hermès gifts from her adoring husband Jay-Z, to the value of £225,000. It seems that the term 'last-minute Christmas shopping' doesn't mean the same thing as nipping into a couple of high street shops when you're an internationally successful businessman, record producer and rapper worth around $450 million. Handbags at dawn: Hermès vs LVMH is a battle set to run and run 41-year-old Jay-Z reportedly amassed the huge bill on presents during a single visit to the Hermès store on New York's Madison Avenue.

Outlined below is what £225,000 could get you in a single trip to Hermes: - Birkin bag-lady: the Birkin bag, named after singer and actress Jane Birkin, costs around £10,000 on average, so 22 Birkin's could be at one's disposal - For the woman who has everything: a collection of no less than 441 giant silk twill scarves worth £510 each - All about the bling: pile on 38 gold bracelets from the fine jewellery collection, where prices start from £3,860 and range up to £8,240 - For the showjumping enthusiast: 160 pairs of jumping boots in calfskin adorned with the famous 'Kelly' buckle, worth £1,400 a pair - For the beach bum: never be caught without a spare beach towel again by stocking up on 608 towels with eye-catching, colourful designs, worth £370 each.
