On April 18, 2006, the news was splashed across every tabloid in the USA, sharing news of Tom and Katie’s beautiful new baby. CBS reported on their parenting strategy (Tom would burp while Katie would breastfeed), and NBC News shared with the public that the A-lister couple had bought an ultrasound machine during Katie’s pregnancy. Suri has been surrounded by wealth, privilege, and luxury since the day she was born due to Katie Holmes’s and Tom Cruise’s level of celebrity.
By six years old, Suri had a multi-million dollar wardrobe
Clothing brands all wanted to be seen on the toddler, so she would often get sent extremely expensive designer clothes. By 2012, her wardrobe was worth around $3 million. Tom Cruise loved this, but Katie decided to return gifts in order to provide a more normal childhood.
Katie Holmes is worth approximately $15 million
Katie Holmes gained full custody over Suri after the divorce. Her fame on the TV show “Dawson’s Creek” as well as projects like “Batman Begins” combined with investments, businesses, and other roles acclimated to $15 million.
Tom Cruise has spent millions on child support
While he doesn’t have full custody and hasn’t been involved in Suri’s life, he does have visitation rights. He doesn’t follow up on them because Suri is not a Scientologist. Still, he fulfills his duties by paying Katie $400,000 annually in child support, along with her dental and medical bills.
Her childhood home was a very pricey NYC penthouse
After the divorce, Katie moved with Suri to NYC. Suri regularly experienced massages, performances at Lincoln Center, and more. Suri grew up in a 2,400-square-foot apartment in a trendy neighborhood called Chelsea. The apartment boasted dramatic views of the Empire State Building and had a hidden entrance that led directly to Whole Foods. That said, we’re not sure how much they went grocery shopping while living in that penthouse.
