“Unpacking the $1 Million Golden Globe Gift Bags: A Controversial Glimpse into Celebrity Excess That Has Left the Internet Outraged!”
The Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman resort was the standout, giving a $55,000 five-day stay to all 100 available recipients. Not willing to be left behind, Celestia Phinisi countered with their own five-day getaway at a luxury yacht in Indonesia’s Coral Triangle.

Besides the usual luxury getaways, this bracket included a more diverse set of gifts.
Dr. Simon Ourian, a Beverly Hills dermatologist who promotes himself as “the most sought-after A-list aesthetic specialist in the world,” made an ambitious bet by gifting a non-surgical stem cell facelift valued at $40,000 to an unnamed celebrity.
ACX Access, a private helicopter company, gave one recipient a private flight in Finland to see the Northern Lights from the skies, valued at $48,000.
Liber Pater also made an exclusive gift to an unidentified recipient. A trio of their best ultra-rare wines from 2015, 2018, and 2019, valued at $34,800.
The increase in overall value is part of a larger strategy to generate publicity around the bag, with brands paying large sums to be featured in it

The last and most expensive bracket includes only two items, the aforementioned $500,000 plus three-night stay at the Turks and Caicos island, and an exclusive, one participant only dinner and wine tasting by Liber Pater in Bordeaux, France valued at $272,000.
The opulence and limited quantities offered made readers curious about the gifting process, with many believing that the gift “bags” were uniform, meaning all 100 recipients were subject to the same types of items.
