A three-night stay for eight people on an Italian island, liposuction and a plot of land in Australia are all part of the Oscars gift bag nominees will receive at the event on Monday.
The “Everyone Wins” Nominee Gift Bag for the 95th Academy Awards is worth around $126,000 USD (about £106,000) and is given to the top acting and directing nominees on Oscars night.
From $40,000 USD Canadian holidays to Japanese Milk Bread and everything in between, this gift bag literally has it all.
So even if the likes of Cate Blanchett, Brendan Fraser or Steven Speilberg don't win an Oscar, they won't go home empty-handed.
American company Distinctive Assets have been putting gift bags together for the Oscars for 21 years.
They also create bags for other events including the Grammys and Tony Awards.

The 2023 bag has decreased in value by $23,000 compared to the 2022 version which was worth £149,000.
The most expensive gift bag was back in 2020 which had an estimated value of $225,000.
The 2023 gift bag is still 300 times more expensive than an Oscar trophy itself - the 24-karat gold-plated statuette only costs about $400 to make.
