The eye-watering cost of Karl Stefanovic's "highly secret" 50th birthday bash

Karl Stefanovic had a "highly secretive" birthday party in Saint-Tropez. France, according to Women's Day

The Today host, who was in Paris to cover the Olympic games earlier this month, reportedly booked out an entire hotel for his 50th birthday bash. 

A source claimed that his party cost a staggering $200,000, with A-listers James Packer and Anthony Bell among the guests. 

"He'd be thinking you only turn 50 once so let's do this properly and go big!" the insider claimed. 

"Much like the $50,000 he dropped for (wife) Jasmine's 40th earlier this year, and the rumoured $10,000 birthday parties they have hosted for their four-year-old daughter Harper," they continued. 

"And then there was their $700,000 lavish Mexican nuptials - Karl has never done anything half-baked!" 

The party was allegedly 1970s themed, with Stefanovic's wife also showing off her new designer dresses.

This comes after it was initially reported that Stefanovic was set to cancel his planned 50th birthday bash in Paris.

Earlier this year, the Today host was reported to have spent a whopping $50,000 on his wife's lavish birthday celebrations in Noosa, according to the publication. 

Jasmine's entire look alone was worth an eye-watering $5,575, with her gown from Zimmermann costing $1,950. 

The party reportedly lasted for about two days, with a "recovery shindig" allegedly worth $10,000 also taking place. 

A close friend of the couple said at the time that "Karl is an old romantic" and was more than happy to treat his wife to a lavish birthday.
