TimTaylor751647545500 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Roman Abramovich's Nello's Lunch Cost Over $47,000 http://s2.buzzfeed.com/static/imagebuzz/web03/2009/11/2/16/what-rich-people-eat-30334-1257197574-4.jpg Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's doesn't seem to be too affected by the recent economic downturn. According to TMZ, the oilman and Chelsea Football Club owner dropped $47,221.09 on lunch at famed New York eatery Nello's today. While that tidy sum include a $7,328 tip, it neglects to account for the $5,000 Abramovich is said to have left on tip of it. Abramovich also made headlines recently for installing an anti-paparrazi laser shield on his yacht (which also happens to be the world's biggest and most expensive). Forbes lists Abramovich as the world's 51st wealthiest person, with a net worth of $8.5 billion dollars. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/30/roman-abramovichs-nellos_n_340781.html Roman Abramovich?s $52,000 Lunch Bill First, there was the recent soft-launch of his yacht, the world?s largest. Then there was his purchase of a $90 million estate in St. Bart?s. Now comes word of a $52,000 lunch in Manhattan. According to TMZ, Mr. Abramovich hosted nine guests at Nello?s on the Upper East Side on Friday. The tab came to $47,221.09. He added another $5,000 tip (on top of the $7,328 gratuity already included) for a total of $52,221.09. In an email, a spokesman for Mr. Ambramovich denied the bill was Mr Abramovich?s. He said Mr. Abramovich did eat at the restaurant but that the ?party spent no more than a tiny fraction of that amount - less than a couple of percent.? A manager at the restaurant declined to comment. The bill shown by TMZ, however, is rich with details?and explains how someone could rack up a $52,000 bill. The main culprits: wine and truffles. There were the three bottles of La Tache, for $5,000 each (alas, the bill doesn?t give the vintage). There were the two bottles of Petrus, also at $5,000 each. And two bottles of Cristal Rose, at $5,000 each. The food was typical Manhattan, with most entrees going for $50 or less. But the group had two orders of truffle carpaccio for $100 each, and three truffle taglionis for $585. Is this shocking and abhorrent at a time when so many in the U.S. are losing their homes and jobs? That is one way to look at it. Another way is to thank him for being a one-man stimulus package. Beyond the lunch, I?m sure the Abramovich visit included plenty of shopping, hotels, drivers, nightclubs, and (perhaps) artwork at this week?s big auction nights. And as a New York resident, I look at the $3251.89 tax line and have two simple words for Mr. Abramovich: Thank you. What do you think of the Abramovich lunch bill? http://blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2009/11/02/roman-abramovichs-52000-lunch-bill/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
