Lifestyle Travel Celebrity Vacations Inside Aaron Paul's $300K 40th Birthday Bash in the Dominican Republic — with Bryan Cranston! He was joined on the celebratory vacation by 40 of his closest friends and family members — including Bryan Cranston. By Hannah Chubb Published on September 4, 2019 01:53PM EDT Aaron Paul may have been celebrating his 40th trip around the sun, but his two-week birthday bash in the Dominican Republic was truly the trip of a lifetime. The Breaking Bad star, who turned the big 4-0 on August 27, embarked on a celebratory vacation to the Carribean nation about a week before his actual birth date, joined by 40 of his closest friends and family members. The group — which included Paul’s wife, Lauren, their one-year-old daughter, Story Annabelle, his The Path co-star Michelle Monaghan, and his Breaking Bad partner in crime Bryan Cranston — stayed at Ani Private Resorts Dominican Republic, a 14-bedroom estate set atop a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. A celebrity-favorite spot, the cost per night to stay at the property is $25,000 — meaning a whopping $300,000 bill at the end of their 12-day stay.
