How Billionaires Do Baby Showers

As you can imagine, I come across a number of oddities in my daily search for entertaining stories — however, this one really takes the (baby shower) cake.  This story may be a few months old, but worth sharing nonetheless…

Google co-founder Larry Page threw a baby shower for fellow co-founder Sergey Brin and his wife Anne Wojcicki earlier this year.  With all of their billions, can you guess the theme of the shower?  Perhaps “Baby’s Got Bucks.”  Or “Google That Baby Name…”?

Nope.  It was “A Diaper Fetish Celebration!”

The classy guys rented out a San Francisco warehouse and had a strict dress code:  baby clothes.  Guests wore adult diapers, footie pajamas, pacifiers and other infantile get-ups.  How… sweet.

Hopefully, the diapers didn’t leak at the same rate that Google has been leaking money with YouTube.  Now THAT would have been a mess.
