Only a handful of actors walked away with a little gold statue at this year’s Oscars, and with Oppenheimer and Barbie accounting for a large portion of all nominations (and wins), plenty of millionaires would be going back to their Beverly Hills mansions empty-handed if it wasn’t for marketing company Distinctive Assets.

Their “Everybody Wins” Oscars gift bag is back for the 22nd year in a row and it’s packed with everything from a Rubik’s Cube to a $50,000 stay at a Swiss ski chalet.

According to CNBC Make It, these bags are valued at around USD$180,000 and pack more than 50 items into them before they’re delivered to the homes or hotel addresses of all twenty-six recipients, including Martin Scorcese, Christopher Nolan, Bradley Cooper, Lily Gladstone, Emma Stone, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Gosling, and Mark Ruffalo for a little post-event uplift. We’re checking out just about everything that’s inside them below.
