7 Vacations – Beyonce Works Hard And Plays Harder Than Kim
To celebrate Beyonce’s 33rd birthday, Jay-Z hired a luxury yacht to take the couple to the South of France and other places for a staggering $800,000 dollars. They have also gone to Iceland to celebrate Jay-Z’s 45th birthday and of course stayed at the Trophy Lodge, Iceland’s most luxurious spot. They indulged in a helicopter tour there and literally had their champagne chilled out in the snow. They have celebrated their wedding anniversary in the Dominican Republic, but instead of staying at some run of the mill resort, the dynamic duo stayed in the very own private cabana. They have vacationed all over Italy and France and have gone to Thailand, Cambodia, Cuba, St. Barts in the Caribbean, Costa Rica, Croatia, and all over the United States. They have even vacationed down under in Australia.
Kim and Kanye take plenty of vacations as well. One of them was to the Bahamas and it cost them almost half a million dollars. They stayed at the exclusive Baker’s Bay Golf and Ocean Club where you can’t stay unless you’re a member or invited by a guest. Then, for Kanye’s 40th birthday, they went to Japan where they went about town unnoticed. Kim told The View, “We would put on hoodies. We took the train. No one bothered us, it was great.”
6 Glam Squad – Kim’s Wins Head & Shoulders Above Beyonce
Every celebrity has a glam squad, an entourage of staff, that is responsible for their wardrobe, make-up, hair, etc. They prep and preen their VIP boss before they will be seen by the public doing interviews, etc.
Beyonce spends about $1 million dollars a year on her glam squad. The breakdown of her beauty is $50,000 a year for twice-weekly meetings with a nutritionist, $200,000 for fitness costs, which include a personal trainer, $20,000 for manicures and pedicures, but the biggest chunk of change goes into her tresses. Beyonce spends about $545,000 on hair, eyelash extensions, wigs, and cosmetics.
Kim’s on-hand glam squad costs her a jaw-dropping $2.6 million dollars every year but it is money well spent for her stellar line-up of staff. She has Joyce Bonelli, a makeup artist, on retainer for $750,000. If you include the bonuses she gets for events while Kim is traveling, it earns her a whopping $1.5 million a year. She has George Papanikolas, who is her hair colorist, treat her hair two times a month for $12,000 a year. Then, she has Chris McMillan, the man who did Jennifer Aniston’s bob, do her hair styling, and she pays him $4,000 a month. As for her clothing stylists, Kim has the duo, Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi, that she works with and they only charge her $810,000 a year. Last but not least, trainer, Tracy Anderson, charges Kim $250,000 a year.
5 Clothing Lines – Kim Gets Hung Out To Dry
In 2016, Beyonce co-founded an activewear clothing line with Topshop called Ivy Park. The company was named after her daughter, Blue Ivy, and the “Park” part came from a park in Houston called Parkwood Park where she would go to exercise. In a promotional video for the company, Beyonce said, “There are things I’m still afraid of. When I have to conquer those things, I still go back to that park. Before I hit the stage, I go back to that park. When it was time for me to give birth, I went back to that park. The park became a state of mind. The park became my strength. The park is what made me who I am.” The line of Ivy Park clothing, from headbands, sandals, tops, bottoms, swimwear, and accessories range from $30 to $200, so there is something for everyone.
As for Kanye and Kim’s joint clothing line endeavour for children called The Kids Supply, Kim told Vogue magazine, “I love making pieces that I haven’t seen before in children’s clothes, like the slip dress or lace tap shorts,” but sadly, Kim’s statement was not the case at all and she was accused of ripping off designs from designers like Demna Gvasalia and Rei Kawakubo. Diet Prada callout Kim out by showing an image of Kim and her daughter side-by-side, and her daughter was wearing a mini-version of Kim’s original Comme des Garçons garment that was designed by Kawakubo. Kim will lose this round for un-originality, aka, copying.
