That ain't a tip. That's a down payment on a new M3.

Ok, in all fairness, it says there were 6 guests so it was only $7,870.18 each

Easy...somebody who doesn't give a crap about spending $50K lol

We really shouldn't judge the dude. We don't know what kind of money he gives away in charity and what not...Say I am making $100K a year, that means the equivalent bill would be $50 for me if the guy's income is a $100M/year. Which would be a cheap ass dinner for 6 ..How about that for a comparison

Talk about overpriced everything! Even the food was overpriced on that receipt.

I have gone to the TOP steak house on the west coast (rainwater in San Diego) and even with the meal, glass of wine, and desert it was only $120 for me.

Someone closed a big ass deal, and that receipt is going on some company's expense report.

And the place gets pretty dumpy reviews considering: http://www.yelp.com/biz/nellos-new-york

Funny thing about the top two reviews is that (at least the first one) was there on Friday, when this ridiculous lunch happened, and all of the food they talk about was ordered by this same table.

Edit: The second guy was at this ridiculous lunch (he posted the receipt on his review). How about this comment? "I'd recommend Nello's to anyone who enjoys fine Italian food and knows how to fill out an expense report or has a little extra change to blow on a fine meal." WTF is your per diem if all you need is "a little extra change" for this meal?

Edit (Part 2): For anyone wondering who the Russian Billionaire in question is, it is Roman Abramovich. This guy has more yachts, planes, and cars that anyone would know what to do with and supposedly he added another $5k on the tip.
