Madonna's Malawi baby boy is probably feeling very lucky right now - or he would be if he had any idea his mom is the world's greatest superstar.
Madonna recently dished out $19,000 on toys for her adopted son.
The "Hung Up" singer treated 13-month-old David Banda to a child-sized electric car, a $6,000 rocking horse, giant cuddly toys and designer clothes.
She has also decorated his nursery with giant murals of tigers and lions and installed a surround-sound system.
A source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "Madonna had great fun choosing baby David's toys and accessories, getting him all the latest, coolest gear. As well as a designer wardrobe, Madonna and Guy have laid his bed with cotton and cashmere sheets and a music system will pipe out classical music."
The source added, "Madonna's only stipulation was that there was no television in his room. As with her other two children, she doesn't want David growing up watching
mundane rubbish."
News of Madonna's shopping spree shocked residents in the Malawian village where David was born. That amount of money could have paid for 10,000 chickens and 500 goats, or 10 mud huts.
David's father Yohane, who sent his son to an orphanage after his wife died, is hoping Madonna will rescue him from poverty.
Yohane, who earns 77 cents a day working on his onion crop, said, In our Malawian culture, if you are wealthy and your relatives are poor, you assist in any way you can. I am not asking Madonna for anything, but when he is brought here and sees our poverty, he will certainly ask his mom to help."
Tickets to Madonna's recent "Confessions" world tour cost up to $200 - the average Malawi villager earns $135 annually.
