2,000 Celebs At Mega $30m Private Party in Dubai

Economic recession may be biting in US and the rest of the world, but there was little sign of that in Dubai last night.The world’s rich and famous gathered for the most expensive private party ever thrown – costing some £20 million – to open Atlantis Palm Jumeirah, a £1 billion resort on a man-made island shaped like a palm tree in the Persian Gulf.Two thousand film stars, popstars, supermodels and billionaires were flown in from around the world for the all-expenses paid one-night party with many of them staying for four days. Romours have it that Kylie scooped a £1.5million paycheck for the 10 song performance 45-minute medley of her hits – which works out at some £33,333 a minute. What a nice pay check.
