It is expected that the billionaires will do things differently, and obviously they entertain differently from common people. In St. Tropez last week this entertaining turned into a competition and ended up creating some sort of record for the vulgar display of wealth which, I think, no one should be proud of. Ultimately it was a senseless waste of money that benefited no one.
The competitors were Malaysian billionaire Zhen Low, the younger brother of the more famous Jho Low, and Winston Fisher who comes from the prominent New York real estate family. The competition they got into was who could rack up the highest champagne bill. You or I may not see the point in a cause like that but it motivated our young billionaires enough to make a real match out of it.
The location was Les Caves du Roy night club and the competitors went for the trophy ordering bottles of Cristal that cost 600 British Pounds each. Encouraged by friends like Paris Hilton and her sister Nicky Low emerged on a high winning the dubious competition. Would you like to know the winning score? The winning bar tab, belonging to Zhen Low, came out to be a whopping 1.77 million British Pounds which roughly translates to about $ 2.6 million. Now you can estimate the quantity of champagne ordered.
