Victoria Beckham's $220,462 Birthday

David Beckham wisked Victoria away to Paris, for a 12 hour trip, of course! The cost? A whopping $220,462!

After arriving in Paris at about 4pm yesterday, the pair went shopping, looking at jewellery, cameras and - obviously - clothes.

They reportedly spent $140,294 at several shops in the trendy Marais district.

Beckham, 31, had spent weeks organising private sessions at the showrooms of designers including Christian Louboutin, where Posh snapped up a pair of made-to-measure heels for $3,006.

He then took her to one of her favourites, Azzedine Alaia to select a $14,029.40 dress (in picture).

Their suite at the Ritz, and hiring the renowned Guy Savoy restaurant so they could dine alone would have set Beckham back another $30,063. The Real Madrid star sprang the surprise trip after a training session with the Spanish club. (A meal for over $30,000? That's like, the average amount a blue collar worker makes in a year!)

Victoria had only been expecting lunch in Madrid, but instead he drove her to the airport where he had spent $50,105 on a private jet.

A source said: “Victoria was overwhelmed. She thought she was going to have a Chinese meal with David and the boys.”

After dinner the couple retired to their suite at 1am - but they were back at Paris’s Bourget airport at 4am for the flight back to Madrid.

Don't worry you're not alone. Most of us just have a dinner with family and friends. Most people spend an amount of money like $220,000 on a house. Not on a single day.
