Christine Lim, the daughter of Philippine mayor Rey Catacutan, was inspired by Crazy Rich Asians to fill her venue with flowers, wear an OTT dress by Mak Tumang and spend US$5,000 on a cake

If there’s one thing we know about crazy rich Asians, it’s that they love to do everything lavishly. From living in decked-out mansions to owning fleets of luxury supercars and private jets – the only way to live life is by going all out. It’s unsurprising then that they also celebrate their birthdays – and those of their children – like they’re national holidays.

Cakes that cost US$5,000 and Gucci product-filled claw machines are just a few of the highlights you can expect at their birthday bashes. Some of them have even spent over a million dollars on the birthday celebration to end all birthday celebrations.

So which crazy rich birthday bashes made our list of top six OTT parties of all time?

1. Kim Lim’s “Kandy Karnival”

Singapore billionaire heiress Kim Lim recently welcomed her and her son Kyden’s birthdays (which were three days apart) with an extravagant, two-day “Kandy Karnival’’ party at The Barracks Hotel Sentosa last month.

Their 250 guests – which reportedly included glitterati from Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong – were transported to an old-fashioned carnival, complete with a human-sized claw machine that doubled up as a ball pit, a 15-metre (50-foot) balloon wall, and 10,000 toys. Gigantic Pokémon inflatables decorated the outdoor portion of the venue, and Kyden’s friends were invited to enjoy a nine-metre (30-foot) Pokémon-themed bouncy castle.

The set-up reportedly took 10 days to construct. To give back, Kim extended the event by a day so that 50 guests from the North East Community Council, Social Services, and local charity Boys’ Town could also take part in the festivities.
