Beyonce's Birthday Present

For her 25th birthday, Beyonce Knowles got a very pricey gift from boyfriend Jay-Z. He picked out a 1959 Rolls Royce convertible with an estimated value of $1 million dollars, though the full amount he paid for the car will probably be known only to him and the dealer.

Even with a steep price tag, the gift doesn't quite measure up to the $5.4 million necklace Mariah Carey got from her prince, but it's safe to say that Beyonce could have done a lot worse than this car.

Absolute Power Couple! There's not much more that can be said about them...EVERY woman would love to be Beyonce, and EVERY man would love to be Mr. S.Carter-or at the very least, have their body, money, power, prestige, talent, influence, favor, wisdom, etcetera, etcetera. :)

I guess a girl like beyonce needs to be sure thats it was'nt for the pricey car that cost them real love she need to look beyond for the pricey gift he will give him after ten years from now. Thats would be more pricey!! and i believe Beyonce is a good model for the rest of the women around the world..NO DOUBT

Well, actually lots of women are happy being themselves, but good for Beyonce -- GREAT car!!!!

I don't want to be Jay-Z. I plan to be more.

Well, I am a woman and I know for sure I wouldn't want to have Beyonce's life because I love the life I have now!!! Maybe you got some personal issues that you need to deal with.

Great car but where's the engagement ring???

Hey, the car is nice, but I'm getting tired of this whole Beyonce and Jay-Z mess.

Big deal if Beyonce is a pretty girl that loves to shake her butt. She wears way too much make-up and looks a heck of a lot better without IT and those light contacts.

And as a man, no I don't wish to be Jay-Z (or S Dot Carter, Jigga, Hova, Sean, Rockafella, Young or whatever ridiculous name he decides to call himself this week). His talent is way overrated and he looks like the child of Jimmie "J.J." Walker!

The car is nice ...but it's not like she will actually be driving it..it's too dan gon expensive. The best thing she can do is sit and look at it.
Nice gift though, when you have no idea what to get the person.

What a waste of a nice automobile!!!

Brittney Williams Sep 7th 2006 7:31PM

Great car Bee, hope u have fun driving it!!!!

catcha Sep 7th 2006 4:39PM

I agree what a waste. I would much rather have seen the headline that JAY Z donated his money to a worthwhile cause rather than an automobile. There's still much needed help in New Orleans, and all over the US.....

WITH A GIRL LIKE BEYONCE(WOW) AND A MAN THAT LOOK LIKE!!!!WHAT IS THIS GUY GOING TO DO WHEN HE RUNS OUT OF MONEY??

connie Sep 8th 2006 6:22PM

I think she is a great person.She will look fine in the car!

ReeRee Sep 7th 2006 4:51PM

There are so many haters out there. Go Beyonce and Jigga, hova. Those haters out there do want to be like you guys. Sad

Does anyone else think Jay Z looks like the alien dancing with Will Smith at the end of Men In Black?

Lmajel Sep 7th 2006 5:30PM

I think Beyonce's gorgeous, I bet some of you wished you looked anything close to her. I'd take the car, her looks and anything else I could get, including Jay-Z, who cares what he wants to be called this week, he can do that, you sure can't.

As a 25 year old successful female in a relationship with a wealthy musician in his 40's,I can surely indentify, somewhat with the issues these two deal with. Beyonce obviously does not need Jay to buy her things or even to boost her career, so it must be love. However an older man is great but a BITCH to deal with so B deserves EVERYTHING she gets;TRUST ME!!!

Who would want to give anything to Mariah worth %.4 Million. She is a nasty ugly skank

Deborah Williams Sep 7th 2006 6:11PM

What ever happen to the simple things in life. You can't take it with you. A BIT MUCH!!!

LEI'LONI JONES Sep 10th 2006 6:16PM

THAT IS A VERY NICE CAR, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT THAT IT IS A GREAT INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE. AS FAR AS EVERYONE WOMAN WANTING TO BE BEYONCE THAT IS A DEFIANT NO!!!!!
MILLIONS OF WOMEN LOVE THEMSELVES AND EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT THEM THAT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE UP. I DONT CARE HOW BEAUTIFUL A PERSON MAY LOOK ,BEAUTY DOES NOT LAST FOREVER. YOU HAVE TO BRING MORE TO THE TABLE THAN THAT!!!!!!!!!!!
