Star Magazine reports that 5-year-old Suri Cruise has a shoe collection worth over $150,000—and that’s just a portion of her designer label-stuffed wardrobe, which some sources estimate to be worth over $3 million.
At this point, I think it’s all right to say that I envy a young child. Her clothes and shoes alone are worth more than my entire house.
Suri Cruise’s shoe collection includes pieces by Marc Jacobs, of whom she’s a “massive fan.” A source also told Star magazine that “the older she gets, the less she wants to wear anything but little heels.”
If they didn’t come with heels, mom Katie Holmes redesigned them for her little big spender. Katie commissioned a pair of shoes just for Suri from the reigning king of designer shoes, Christian Louboutin.

Now, you can never compare children of the rich and famous to average children, but Suri Cruise has undeniable influential power as she is touted as a style icon of sorts. Parenting groups complain about the high-heel rage Suri sparked among the under-5 set.
The Gap included high heels in its Kids’ line as soon as Suri was first spotted in hers, reporting brisk sales. While Gap has answered criticisms with assurances that it tests its heeled designs for safety, can the same be said of the numerous other retailers who jumped on the high-heels-for-kids trend?
