If there’s ever an award for “couple that blows the most money on overly-luxurious things”, Jay-Z and Beyonce have that thing in the bag. In the grand tradition of Beyonce giving Jay-Z a $2 million Bugatti Veyron for his birthday, they’re first “family car” ran them over $1 million. The souped-up Mercedes-Benz van was purchased by Beyonce a few months ago and made its first public appearance recently when it showed up to grab the new mother, father, and baby Blue Ivy from New York’s Lennox Hill Hospital. It features hand stitched Italian leather seats, a powerful yet smooth engine, and a bathroom…(* stares blankly *)…yeah, we said it, a bathroom, Beyonce’s van has a full bathroom. In order to insure that she never has to deal with us normals when she’s driving around, the van has a toilet, sink, and shower; we were only half-annoyed until we got to the shower part. The bathroom inside the van is a bit much, a tiny bit insulting to the rest of the world, and seems fairly unnecessary, but at least it’s replacing something that she would actually use while out and about, but a shower? It’s not like there’s public showers everywhere that she could want to avoid; jeez lady, shower at home, no one wants to step in your bathwater while they’re walking around New York.
