You win some, you lose some.
But losing doesn’t look that bad when you’re an Oscars nominee. Even the stars who didn’t walk away with statuettes last night, took home the goodie bag of a lifetime – each one filled with giveaways worth a whopping $47,000.
A company called Distinctive Assets has been putting together the Oscars gift bags for more than 10 years. And, if you can believe it, the value of each bag actually dropped this year – last year’s gifts added up to more than $60,000.
The highlight of the 2013 swag bag is a $12,000 trip to Australia. According to news.com.au, celebs have been offered a choice between two luxury Australian destinations: Lizard Island and El Questro Homestead.
Lizard Island is the most northern resort on the Great Barrier Reef and consistently makes the cut as one of the top 10 resorts in the world. Located in Western Australia, El Questro Homestead is an exclusive, secluded luxury lodge in the Kimberly region. Talk about a tough decision.
Other travel bonuses that made the bag were:
- a $4,100 fitness and weight loss retreat
- $1,800 of VIP service at Heathrow Airport
