Blue Ivy Carter’s parents, Beyonce and rapper Jay-Z,  have bought her the most outrageous luxury yet – her own nursery at a basketball stadium that costs $1 million a year to rent.

Blue Ivy is apparently put in the suite at the Brooklyn Nets ground in New York whenever her father performs on stage or is watching a game.

Jay-Z did eight shows to open the stadium last year as he grew up nearby and is a fan of the team.

He and Beyonce’s decision to rent the suite comes after they already showered their one-year-old daughter with more gifts than most children can dream of.

When she was just five days old the couple bought her a $21,000 “fantasy crib” made of solid cedar and birch.

Then there’s the $16,000 high chair lined with Swarovski crystals designed by Carla Monchen from which she can eat her food when she is old enough.

And let’s not forget the clothes: Blue Ivy has already been bought a $290 Jean Paul Gaultier silk dress to get her wardrobe started.

According to US Weekly, the suite at the Brooklyn Nets stadium is ‘filled with toys’ to keep the toddler entertained.

The decor is said to be mostly glass and there is a TV screen so she can also watch him perform.

Beyonce, 31, and Jay-Z are amongst the highest earning and most successful celebrities on Earth – she is worth around $300 million due to her singing with Destiny’s Child and her solo career, her clothing line and numerous investments.

Jay-Z, 43, is said to be worth $450 million on the back of his incredibly successful recording career and investments.

They have not been the only ones pampering their daughter and the child has reportedly be inundated with gifts from the likes of Sean Combs, Kanye West, Rihanna, Mary J Blige and Mariah Carey.

Among the more extravagant gifts already sent by their celebrity friends was a $4,700 Swarovski crystal-studded baby bath from Beyonce’s former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland.

The 3,000lb porcelain tub is studded with 44,928 crystals that Californian interior designer Lori Gardner spent more than two months applying by hand.

Kelly Rowland also bought a green Bob Marley one-piece and several cashmere baby blankets at a cost of $300 each.

Oprah Winfrey even sent a case of her favorite children’s books to get Blue Ivy off to a good start with her reading.

The outpouring has not stopped Beyonce herself splashing out herself, including the crib from high end baby firm Posh Tots, which has in the past sold items to Julia Roberts, Donald and Vanessa Trump and Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.

After the birth she and Jay-Z also ensured their newborn travelled home in style in a luxury van with blacked out windows and a pimped-up interior.

The leather seats, satellite TV, minibar and car stereo of the $125,000 Mercedes Sprinter Van Grand Edition made it look like it had come straight out of one of her father’s hip hop videos.

Beyonce’s baby was born in January last year weighing 7 lbs amid a $125,000 security operation which saw a bulletproof door temporarily installed at the entrance to Beyonce’s room at the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.

The happy couple said at that the “birth was emotional and extremely peaceful; we are in heaven”.
