Guy Ritchie spends £100k on Madonna's birthday bash

Material Girl celebrates her 50th with family at London club Volstead

Monday, 18 August 2008

Madonna marked turning 50 on Saturday with an extravagant party organised by husband Guy Ritchie.

Kids Lourdes, Rocco, 9, and adopted son David Banda, 3, were joined by over 40 dancers as they headed to Mayfair's Volstead nightclub to toast for the £100k bash.

Guests were treated to a Kosher menu of Wagyu beef, foie gras and caviar – and Guy, 39, put £20,000 behind the bar to pay for Krug Rose champagne, martinis, and mojitos.

The lavish spread included a stunning 3-tier cake covered in crystallised rose petals.

Entertainment was provided by magician David Blaine, 35, and daughter Lourdes, 11, who sang Never Alone from the musical Fame on the grand piano.

Guy gave his wife a Bulgari necklace and earrings set worth £250,000. He also made an emotional speech paying tribute to her career and their marriage.

The night came to a close when Madge delivered a 40-minute message thanking friends and family for their support, reports the Daily Mirror.

‘I can't believe I have reached half a century,’ she said. ‘It only happens once and this is an event I'm glad to be sharing with you.’

Yesterday, Madonna was snapped heading for the gym just hours after returning home from the do.
