LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
The craze for celebrity baby pictures is reaching new heights with the reported recent exclusive photo purchases of Jessica Alba and Matthew McConaughey’s new bundles of joy. And while it appears Brad and Angelina are set to break the bank with shots of their newest additions, here’s the current list of the top ten most expensive celebrity baby shots!
#1
More than $11 million – Knox Leon & Vivienne Marcheline
According to the AP, the first pictures of the newborn twins to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are reportedly worth more than $11 million dollars, with some speculating $15 to $20 million. The proceeds that the couple receives from the highly anticipated snapshots of their twins, which brings the Jolie-Pitt family to a total of six children, will be donated to charity.
#2
$6 million – Max & Emme Anthony
Second place goes to Max and Emme, the fraternal twins of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. Keeping the pregnancy a secret for nearly five months paid off for J-Lo! The twins’ photos sold exclusively for $6 million and was featured on the March 2008 cover of People.
#3
$4.1 million – Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt
Shiloh Nouvel, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s first biological child, appeared in People in June 2006, for $4.1 million dollars. The couple donated the money to African children’s charities.

#4
$3 million – Levi Alves McConaughey
The first pictures of little Levi, born on July 7, 2008, to actor Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend Camila Alves were reportedly sold to OK! for $3 million. According to the New York Post, McConaughey hired Todd Shemarya, who sold the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie $4 million Shiloh pictures, to broker the deal. According to TMZ, the deal includes Levi’s first Christmas, additional newborn photos, and the first rights to the couple’s wedding photos when (and if) they marry. Those photos would be an additional price tag, of course.
#5 (tie)
$2 million – Dannielynn Smith
The untimely death of Anna Nicole Smith in 2007 kicked off an extensive custody battle for Smith’s little girl, Dannielynn. When it was confirmed that Larry Birkhead was the biological father, OK! bought the photos of the father and daughter for reportedly $2 million for their April 2007 cover.
#5 (tie)
$2 million – Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son, Pax Thien, who they adopted from Vietnam in 2007, earned the couple a reported $2 million dollars for his first publicized photos.

$1.5 million – Honor Marie Warren
Jessica Alba’s newborn baby girl, Honor Marie, was born on June 7, 2008, to her and her husband, producer Cash Warren. After originally declining offers, TMZ reports that Alba decided to sell the exclusive photos to OK! for a reported $1.5 million.
