Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt welcomed a boy, Knox Leon, and girl, Vivienne Marcheline, Saturday night at Lenval hospital in Nice, France.

These twins will be the most expensive kids ever. They will receive this nomination because of the cost of the very first picture. Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline will be worth between $15 million and $20 million.

Nice Matin, the hometown daily in the Riviera city in the south of France, put the twins' worth at more than $11 million. It first broke news of the birth and reported Sunday that the couple have sold the rights for the first photo of their newly expanded family to a U.S. publication, which it did not name, and that the proceeds would go to charity.
"I've never known a set of pictures to be worth this amount of money," said Lyons, the owner of Big Pictures. He estimated that the twins' official photos will be worth between $15 million and $20 million.

The only other photos that "would possibly come that close is Britney Spears giving birth to an alien," he said.
Veteran London-based celebrity publicist Max Clifford estimated the first photos could fetch 10 million pounds -- roughly euro12 million or $20 million -- "which would make it the biggest baby deal ever."

"These kind of pictures sell lots of magazines," he said. "It's a 10-million-pound ($20 million) gamble as to whether the ends justify the means. But obviously it's a very calculated risk because whoever lands the photos will have a lot of experience with the popularity of mum and dad."
