Oscars Gift Bags Shower Hollywood Elite With Opulent Gifts

Although Will Smith slapping Chris Rock stole the show during the 2022 Oscars, another big story from the show was swept under the rug: the $100,000+ gift bags the celebrities received just for being nominated for an award. Some of the gifts included in the bags included an Oprah-endorsed designer tea set, a $12,000 liposuction voucher, and a three-night stay at a castle in Scotland.

"The Oscars are on Sunday, and Los Angeles will soon be awash in designer gowns, famous movie stars and high-price gift bags.

For the 20th consecutive year, LA-based marketing company Distinctive Assets is distributing its famously expensive “Everybody Wins” gift bags to select nominees. This year’s bag is valued at just over $137,000 and includes items ranging from designer popcorn to a voucher for $12,000 worth of liposuction.

The gift bags have their “own reputation within the entertainment industry,” says Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary. They are a hit not only with the nominees, but with their representatives, agents and managers, he adds.

“We get calls from about 25% to 30% of the nominees each year who want to make sure we know where to get their bag to them,” Fary tells CNBC Make It."
