In some respects, a baby belonging to a celebrity couple will have the same experiences as any normal person growing up. Many readers will have fond memories of playing with Barbie dolls when they were kids. Blue Ivy Carter - daughter of Beyoncé Knowles and her rap superstar husband Jay-Z - is no exception. Playing with dolls, dressing them and miming out interactions are all part of us developing social skills as infants. She probably doesn't have any concept of how valuable her Barbie doll is, though!
The average store-bought Barbie just wouldn't do for Beyoncé, who had her daughter's one sent to an exclusive jewelry store and encrusted with the finest stones available. By the end of the modifications, there were over 150 diamonds on the doll and its outfit, and Beyoncé had spent $85,000 on the toy. Let's hope she doesn't chew it, drop it or lose it! Blue Ivy, that is, not Beyoncé.
