The Pricey Gifts Rihanna, Kylie Jenner & More Have Given to Their Moms

by

In case you’re wondering what your mom wants for Mother’s Day, the answer is grandkids. 

If you’re not planning on a major life change right now, she’ll be happy with a simple phone call or card. She might even say she doesn’t need anything at all – and she truly means it.

Of course, when you’re really ballin’, you tend not to listen. 

I’ll never forget Russell Wilson’s Mother’s Day post from 2019. He shared a video of him surprising his mom, Tammy Wilson, with a new house, and the caption just got me. He said she’d never asked him for anything over the years, just for his love. It was so touching, and he ended by saying the gift was all for her, because of the way she loves them. It was a really special moment.

The surprising play happened soon after the 37-year-old signed a four-year, $140 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks, making him the league’s highest-paid player at that point.

I’ve noticed a wonderful trend with celebrities lately! It’s not just one star showing love to their moms and dads – Rihanna and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson are also investing in property as gifts for their parents. It’s so heartwarming to see them giving back to the people who helped them the most!

Look, I get it – Mother’s Day doesn’t have to break the bank. But let’s be real, if you’ve really hustled and achieved serious success, maybe you can splurge a little and show Mom how much she means to you. It’s about being able to go above and beyond when she deserves it most.

For their mom Kris Jenner’s 64th birthday in 2019, Kim Kardashian rented the house where she and her siblings – Kourtney, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian – grew up with their father, Robert Kardashian.

She shared on Instagram that their home holds a special place in their hearts, especially because of her dad. It’s where all the Kardashian children were born and grew up, shaping them into who they are today.

She meticulously planned every aspect of the event, even using their outdated wallpaper to create unique table decorations. She also rented all of her parents’ former cars, parking some as a display and using the rest for transportation.

Kim shared that they had lunch at the house, and it felt just like old times, though they were all crying throughout the meal. Despite the sadness, she said it was the best day ever.

Despite the challenge, she still managed to create a gift for Kris’ 65th birthday that was just as thoughtful and detailed as her previous ones.

This Mother’s Day, take a look at the perfect gift – and all the others that will make Mom feel appreciated and loved!

It’s hard to keep track of all the designer brands Kris Jenner loves! But Kim Kardashian really went above and beyond for her mom’s 65th birthday in November 2020. She put together 65 different outfits from top designers – all custom-made to Kris’s exact measurements. With the help of stylist Danielle Levi, Kim presented the looks – including pieces from Comme des Garçons, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Gucci – like a high-fashion exhibit.

I’m just at a loss for words, I can’t believe what’s happening,” Kris Jenner shared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “This is honestly one of the biggest surprises of my life. It’s incredibly thoughtful and generous, but the amount of time and effort Kim put into this is the most amazing gift I’ve ever received. Sixty-five outfits, one for each year of my life! It’s absolutely beautiful.

At the Kardashian family’s 2024 Christmas gift exchange, Kylie Jenner gave their mom the standout present. Khloe Kardashian shared on Instagram how impressed she was with the personalized Goyard tote bag Kylie gifted, which featured painted childhood photos of Kylie and her siblings. Khloe wrote, “Mom is lucky!”

In 2019, New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson showed his appreciation for his mother by buying her a house, not long after he signed a lucrative four-year, $140 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks.

At first, his mom, Tammy Wilson, thought it was a prank, as he showed in a video on Instagram. But the athlete, who married singer Ciara in 2016, always intended to spoil her. He shared a message online saying, “Thank you for always loving us. This is for you!”

Dwayne Johnson, much like Wilson, recently made a heartwarming gesture for his mother, Ata Johnson. In 2022, he surprised her with a new house. He shared on Instagram that he’s been able to buy his mom several homes over the years, but this one meant the most because she’d repeatedly expressed her wish for a final, permanent home after a lifetime of travel. Johnson wrote, “Mom, making you happy is the best feeling.”

Rihanna works incredibly hard, and there’s a special reason why. In 2012, she surprised her mother, Monica Braithwaite, on Oprah Winfrey’s show with a Barbados mansion. Monica initially thought they were just visiting for work, but Rihanna revealed it was a gift. Rihanna explained she wanted to show her appreciation for her mother’s strength and dedication, saying, “You’ve been an amazing mother, a role model, and a fighter, and now you get to own this house.”

For many years, NBA shooting guard Dwyane Wade hoped his mother, Jolinda Wade, would overcome her struggles with addiction. He was incredibly proud when she not only got sober but also began a ministry while in prison. As a testament to her transformation, he bought her a building in Chicago for the Temple of Praise.

The three-time champion, now a Baptist pastor, expressed deep admiration for his mother, noting how far she’s come. In a 2008 interview with The Associated Press, he said, “I’m incredibly proud of her.” While many see his own success as remarkable, he believes his mother’s transformation is even more so, describing her journey as being ‘anointed’ and blessed beyond measure.

While many fans consider LeBron James one of the greatest basketball players of all time, he clearly considers his mom, Gloria James, his true hero. He showed his appreciation by surprising her with a Mercedes for her birthday in 2022. Gloria shared on Instagram how much the thoughtful gift meant to her, saying LeBron consistently goes above and beyond to bring joy to her life.

Lizzo proved her success by buying her mother, Shari Johnson-Jefferson, a new Audi for Christmas in 2020, as she shared on Instagram. The Grammy-winning artist recalled a difficult time earlier in her career, remembering crying in her car after her father’s death while facing unemployment and homelessness. She expressed a desire to support her family, and vowed to spoil her mother as a way of honoring that wish.

Trying to find a gift for someone who has everything can be tough, but Jeff Bezos had a unique solution for his mother, Jacklyn Bezos. In 2021, he flew to space on a Blue Origin flight, wearing a necklace branded with the company’s logo. After returning to Earth, he gave the necklace to his mother as a special gift from his space adventure. Jacklyn Bezos passed away in 2025, four years after receiving the heartfelt present.
