A parade of monied Hollywood A-Listers preached down to the rest of us about equality at this year’s Oscars ceremony all while collecting a $225,000 swag bag.
This year’s swag bag, put together by LA-based Distinctive Assets, came with free cosmetic surgery, a cruise on a luxury yacht, dating services, gold-plated vaping devices, and more, according to reports.
“It’s the highest value we’ve ever put together,” Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary said.
“This year’s top swag includes a $78,000, 12-day yacht cruise; $20,000 of facial rejuvenation treatments; and $20,000 in matchmaking services,” Yahoo reported.
The nearly 80 items included in the 2020 Academy Awards ceremony also included a 24-carat gold-plated vaping device, included apparently because star Leonardo DiCaprio has been such a fan of vaping.
Fary insisted that the luxury swag bag is a thank you to the A-Listers for how wonderful they are.
“This is an acknowledgment of an amazing performance that they put in and, for many of them, a lifetime of amazing performances. So, you’re never too rich or famous to outgrow gratitude,” he said.
