A nanny who won’t gab to the tabs isn’t cheap. But family pictures can be worth even more than Blue Ivy’s rocking horse. A sampling of the money spent, and earned, at home:
Expenses:
$70K–$130K
For each nanny—many stars double up. They pay more for English accents and graduate degrees. And discretion will cost you, too.
$95K
Tutor for Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s 5-year-old in Latin, Greek, sailing, and philosophy.
$600K
Part of the pampering arms race: a solid-gold rocking horse for Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Blue Ivy.
$100K
Annual cost of a 6-year-old’s stylist. After all, the kid’s look complements the star’s.
Gains:
$11M
For baby pictures (if you’re Brad and Angelina, anyway).
$8M
The net worth of child star Jaden Smith. Shouldn’t a celebrity’s kid learn to foot some bills?
