It looks like Gordon Ramsay's daughter Matilda "Tilly" Ramsay has got expensive taste, and luckily for the teenager, her dad's got connections and cash.

The youngest daughter of Gordon and wife Tana Ramsay celebrated her 18th birthday earlier this month, and to celebrate the major milestone, she had quite the party. According to the Mirror, the chef got Ed Sheeran to play at the event, and dropped a reported £500,000 ($553,975) to get him there. As you could probably guess, the Grammy-winning artist is Tilly's favorite.

A partygoer dished to The Sun about the big night, saying, "Tilly’s bash was next level. It was clear Gordon had spared no expense in making sure it really was a night to remember," adding, "The whole party had a James Bond theme, with drinks topped with her face or the 007 logo and guests encouraged to come in black tie. There was even a 007 ice sculpture which you could drink shots out of."

While £500,000 is certainly not a steal, fans of the TV personality know that Ramsay isn't exactly suffering financially. The 53-year-old father-of-five landed a top spot on Forbes' Celebrity 100 list of 2019, reportedly making $63 million in their scoring period.

Can Gordon Ramsay plan our birthday parties, too?!
