Swarms of A-List stars rang in 2026 on the ritzy Caribbean Island of St Barts – and spent much of the evening filming their luxurious surroundings for online clout.

Former supermodel Heidi Klum, 52, was one of the worst offenders. The German clotheshorse shared 17 posts over the course of the evening.

Tousel-haired Klum filmed herself posing coquettishly for a selfie video in a nightclub and showed-off a table groaning with Petrossian caviar, which costs up to $447-a-tin.

The attention-seeking mother-of-five also shared a clip of fireworks exploding over a pretty bay while dance music blared and of husband Tom Kaulitz, 36, swigging from a $2,500 jeroboam of Cristal champagne in a rowdy nightclub.

She shared videos and photos with her guitarist husband and brother-in-law, Bill Kaulitz, from the lavish evening. The Kaulitz brothers are in a German pop-rock band, Tokio Hotel.

Klum spent at least part of the festivities back at Nikki Beach where famed DJ Diplo, 47, performed an exclusive set.

Diplo, real name Thomas Wesley Pentz, also got in on the social media bragging with a photo obviously taken from the deck of a superyacht.

The unidentified boat he was on was moored off St Barts with other superyachts visible. Billionaires Jeff Bezos and David Geffen are among those aboard their vessels for the annual frenzy of celebrations.

St Barts was a who’s-who all week as A-listers, including Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez, Michael Jordan, and Sam Altman, have been spotted on the island.

Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 56, were previously spotted at Nikki Beach dancing and drinking with dozens of bikini-clad women.

The couple parked their $500 million yacht off the shore of St Barts in a sea of shockingly extravagant celebrity boats.

The rich and famous have a tradition on the island of sounding their foghorns on their mega yachts in unison when the clock strikes 12.

Other celebrities who parked their massive yachts off the coast of St Barts include Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan, WhatsApp founder Jan Koum, and Michael Jordan.

Locals of the island have shared their annoyance with the gluttonous activities of the ultra-rich on New Year’s, with many airing out their grievances online.

One Reddit user who has traveled to the island for 12 years said St Barts has become a magnet for the ‘tacky designer crowd.’

Others were shocked at the sea of mega yachts, complaining that they block the view of the beautiful ocean.

Social media users also mercilessly mocked Bezos and Sanchez for their party behavior at Nikki Beach.

Sanchez was filmed in a denim mini skirt and a tight brown top, dancing on her seat and clinging to her phone.

‘One of the richest men in the world parading around partying with his 56-year-old teenager wife like a University of Miami fraternity brother,’ one reacted on X. ‘Exhausting and cringe.’

‘These disgusting people could eradicate homelessness across the entire world with their cash and look what they do instead. So tacky and vile,’ another added.

‘All the money in the world and he’s hanging out with teenagers carrying fireworks. Strange life,’ wrote a third.
