Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday bash turned out to be the ultimate star-studded affair last weekend, with practically all of Hollywood under one roof to celebrate the business mogul.
Forget the Oscars and Grammys, Kris’ private 007-themed soirée has been dubbed ‘more iconic’ than some of Hollywood’s biggest nights of the year.
Luxury party planner and founder of Olive Sky Events, Jennifer Wadsworth, told the Daily Mail Kris’ birthday party likely cost around $3.9 to $6.5million (£3 to £5million) – depending on how far the production and entertainment went.
Only the most distinguished A-lists were invited to join the Kardashian-Jenner clan in celebrating the powerhouse at billionaire Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez’s $165million mega mansion in Beverly Hills.
Her guestlist proved more high status than Anna Wintour’s exclusive Met Gala, with faces including Beyoncé, Justin Bieber and Mariah Carey in attendance.
If you thought it couldn’t get more star-studded, there was even a royal cameo too, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle making a very unexpected visit.
Also among the other celebrity guests were Oprah Winfrey, Adele, Paris Hilton, Snoop Dogg, Gayle King, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson and Naomi Watts, who were all dressed to the nines for the James Bond–themed blowout.

The royal invitation is said to be the seal of approval for Meghan – who is also close friends with Beyoncé, who was also at the party.
Beyoncé and Meghan have publicly shared their fondness for one another over the years, with the actress seen dancing at Queen B’s concerts this year.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé publicly praised Meghan’s bravery after the Sussexes’ bombshell interview with Oprah, during which the Duchess claimed to have been subjected to racist treatment within the Royal Family.
Meghan and Harry posed for pictures at the star-studded bash with Kris and her daughter Kim Kardashian.
Kim seemingly removed a photo of Meghan from her Instagram photo dump of the party, as per US Weekly.
The unlikely friendship is said to have blossomed when Meghan sent Kris a jar of her American Riviera Orchard strawberry jam last year.
Over the years, rumours swirled that Kim and Beyoncé were in a feud but the two stars appear to be on very good terms, and actively support each other.
Justin has been friends with the Kardashians for years – particularly with Kylie and Kendall since they were teenagers and also close friends of his wife Hailey Bieber.
Earlier this year, Kris admitted she is ‘grateful and blessed’ for her friendship with best pal Mariah as she took to Instagram to share a gushing birthday tribute.
The former air hostess-turned-billionaire momager has well and truly climbed her way to the top and showed she was the ultimate IT-girl at 70.
Kris – who is said to be worth an estimated $200million – looked gorgeous in her statement tiered red gown which she wore with long black gloves for the party.
The entrepreneur, who celebrated turning 60 with a party inspired by The Great Gatsby, is said to have opted for 007 this year as a play on the number 70.

Her six children reportedly together coughed up $2million for the Great Gatsby themed birthday bash in 2015, according to TMZ.
It is a stark contrast to her apparent $6.5million Bond-themed bash this year, with Olive Sky Events team experts telling us ‘much of the money goes on control, privacy and precision, not just aesthetic’.
They shared: ‘With 17 years’ experience planning large-scale events for HNW and UHNW clients, I can say that a party on this scale is far from a last-minute affair. Even with the best of the best teams involved, something like this would likely require close to a year of planning.
‘This is especially true if, as reported, it was held at Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s private residence, as private homes usually involve an extra layer of complexity in terms of both infrastructure and privacy.
‘When guests are globally recognisable, each one brings their own set of needs: personal security, private transport, dietary requests, styling, and strict confidentiality. Layer that on top of the overall event security and you start to get a sense of the scale.
‘Catering at this level is rarely just about food and drink. It often involves tailored menus for specific guests, sometimes designed to discreetly accommodate dietary needs without drawing attention, such as molecular-style dishes that appear one way but are actually something else entirely.
‘VIPs may have dedicated butlers, and service teams are carefully briefed in advance, often over several days, to ensure timing, discretion and delivery are flawless. The result might feel effortless to the guest, but every detail is the product of rigorous behind-the-scenes planning.’
Daily Mail has contacted Kris’ representatives for comment.
While it’s not known who organised the ‘event of the year’, the Kardashian-Jenner family have forever used celebrity party planner Mindy Weiss to organise their picture-perfect events.

Mindy – who has planned the likes of Hailee Stanfield and Demi Lovato’s weddings – has been working with the family for decades, organising baby showers, birthday parties for Kris’ grandchildren and elaborate Christmas dinners.
The well documented night has gone viral across social media, with fans left surprised over Kris’ A-list group of friends.
Commenting on the impressive guest list, fans have said: ‘A party with Jeff Bezos, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Mark Zuckerberg, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’,
‘She proved SHE is the most popular of them All’, ‘This birthday party was bigger than the Golden Globes, Oscars, Grammys, and Emmys combined’,
‘Oh Kris your party got more A-Listers than the Academy awards’, ‘This was the event of the year’.
Interestingly, insiders told People that no reality TV cameras were allowed inside, making it one of the few Kardashian celebrations not captured for The Kardashians.
‘It was just all about celebrating Kris,’ a source told People. ‘And it was everything you’d expect from Kris: over-the-top, glamorous and full of love from her family. It was obvious that she had the best night.’
Another insider told the outlet earlier this month that Kris has been ‘excited about turning 70’.
They added: ‘Sure, she looks amazing, but it’s her energy that stands out… she has this nonstop enthusiasm for life.’
Rounding out Kris’ photos was a jubilant image of her blowing out her birthday candles as bellhops lifted the cake for her.

In a fitting move for the James Bond–themed party — dubbed ‘0070’ for Kris’ new age — Beyoncé managed to sneak in without ever being detected by photographers.
According to TMZ, the songstress, who was accompanied by her husband Jay-Z, arrived at Jeff and Lauren’s lavish Beverly Hills estate, yet somehow avoided being spotted by photographers.
Insiders told the outlet that the pair pulled off their quiet entrance thanks to prime parking access, which simply entailed pulling directly onto the sprawling estate and slipping out of their vehicle away from prying eyes.
It wasn’t until two days later that fans learned the couple had even been there at all.
Interestingly, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, did not share her daughter’s aversion to the spotlight as she happily posing for photos in her vibrant red outfit, confirming at least one Knowles was in attendance.
Kris’ bash was so over the top that it had Beverly Hills neighbors dialing 911, multiple times in one night.
According to TMZ, police were dispatched to Jeff and Lauren’s $165million Beverly Hills estate on Saturday after nearby residents complained about loud music blaring from the A-list celebration.
Sources at the party told the outlet that the noise ‘was off the charts,’ thanks to a live performance by Bruno Mars, which sent the glamorous crowd into a frenzy.
Under California law, noise complaints are taken seriously, especially in residential areas like Beverly Hills, where city ordinances prohibit excessive sound after 10pm.
Officers reportedly spoke with security and issued a warning, but that wasn’t the end of it.
Later in the night, police returned after learning that large decorative hedges had been placed outside the property to block off the street, a move that apparently required a permit the hosts didn’t have.
The fake greenery was ordered to be ‘removed [just] as dozens of celebs were leaving the party.’
