Top 10 Most Expensive Celebrity Baby Photos

With the recent birth of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, the bidding war for exclusive rights to the first baby photos is underway once again. Early estimates were thatandwould likely be paid $10 million. That figure has been bumped to more than $15 million, though no media source has come forward to claim victory.

We've put together a list of the babies who have brought in megabucks for their parents. Some celebrity couples claim to have turned the money over to charity while others have remained silent regarding the sale of photos. The top bidders have historically been People and OK! for U.S. rights and Hello! for British rights.

Angie and Brad, by virtue of having previously sold photos of Shiloh and Pax, will end up at over $20 million - more than all of the rest of these celebrities were paid as a group. Check out some of those celebrity baby photos here.

We do hear of the occasional couple who flatly refuse to sell images of their offspring. Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman recently welcomed their new daughter Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. They do not plan to enter a bidding war for first photos.
