Notoriously known for its excessive coming of age celebrations, MTV's My Super Sweet 16 was a guilty pleasure that viewers came to love (and loathe) for many reasons. The show, which was noted for its tropes of tantrum throwing, guest snubbing, grandiose entrances, celebrity performances, and lavish gift giving became must-see TV for many during its iconic 10 season run. While there were definitely enough rich kids with parents who were willing to spend excessive amounts of cash for their children's happiness to go around, My Super Sweet 16's celebrity honorees seemed to put on the most over-the-top parties in the show's history.

From the high profile Hollywood guest-lists to the luxury vehicle exits, the celeb moms and dads featured on the show pulled out all the stops to ensure that their children and guests would have the time of their lives. The series, which first premiered in 2005, showcased close 100 parties during its run, with each episode seemingly getting more and more extravagant as time went on. And while any party worthy of being nationally televised on MTV's My Super Sweet 16 is expected to be extreme, the magnitude of celebrity and celebrity kids' parties on the show have been hard to top. And these 16 celebrity episodes of My Super Sweet 16 make it clear: no one will ever party as hard or as big as these famous teenagers once did.
