As if Hollywood couldn’t get any more extreme, award shows like the Golden Globes are handing out gift bags worth half a million dollars to take home. Meanwhile, most people are satisfied with bringing home a slice of cake from a party. This luxury goody bag includes worldwide trips, hotel stays, private jet experiences, and high-end alcohol. Could it get any more luxury than that?
The winners and presenters of the 81st Golden Globe Awards, scheduled for Jan. 7, 2024, will get a unique gift bag filled with various goods and experiences. Along with the presents, luxury magazine Robb Report also plans to donate an undisclosed amount to the Golden Globes Foundation to help non-profit groups that promote underrepresented communities in the entertainment industry and the arts, education, journalism, and humanitarian efforts.
The gift bags will bring even more richness into the lives of the celebs competing for the Golden Globes, which celebrate the best in film and television — even though they probably already have every material item they could want.
Entertainment Tonight reports winners and presenters have 35 options to choose from for their gift bags — some gifts are open to everybody, and some are only available to a restricted number of people. These gift options include, but are not limited to:
- Two nights in the French region of Burgundy ($2,200, available to all 83 recipients)
- Full luxury experience at Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita and Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort ($15,000, all 83 recipients)
- Two nights at an all-inclusive lodge in New Zealand ($15,000, up to 3 recipients)
- Five day, four night luxury yacht charter in Indonesia ($50,000, all 83 recipients)
- Complimentary XO Jet membership with $10K in flight credits ($11,000, up to 10 recipients)
- Private surf lessons in southern California, custom surfboard included ($6,500, all 83 recipients)
- One-year membership at a West Hollywood exclusive social club ($3,000, all 83 recipients)
- Sophisticated wine encounter in Houston ($5,000, up to 2 recipients)
- Bottle of wine ($193,500/6 bottles, 1 recipient)

- 111SKIN Black Diamond Retinol Oil ($250, all 83 recipients)
- Coomi x Muzo: Colombian Emerald Earrings ($69,000, up to 1 recipient)
The lavish gift bags that have come to represent Hollywood glitz are a source of great excitement as shining celebs get ready to walk the red carpet at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards. These sorts of gift bags are a typical extravagance at celebrity gatherings. Still, the Golden Globe bags are about to redefine lavishness, breaking previous records with an estimated value of over half a million dollars.
Back in 2020, gift bags at the Oscars were said to be worth about $225,000. Back in March, the 2023 Oscars gave out gift bags worth $125,000, filled with travel experiences in Italy and Canada, with loads of high-end food brands and alcohol. Nothing can compare to this year’s Golden Globes goody bags.
The 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards will be held on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. The day following the broadcast, the program will be accessible live and on-demand for Paramount+ subscribers who have SHOWTIME or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers.
