Russian Billionaire Drops $52,000 on Lunch in New York


Talk about material excess ... this guy apparently is unaware of how much regular people pay for a single meal. I saw another story (different from the one linked here) that said the cheapest portion of the meal was the purchase of a $15 dessert. Craziness!

Aw, the good life! Being a Russian billionaire means you can have a hot Russian woman, Dasha Zhukova, on your arm, own Chelsea Football Club and spend $52,000 on lunch.Lunch with Family & Friends.

Roman Abromovich and nine friends, including stunning Russian model Zhukova and his son Arkady, allegedly indulged at New York’s Nello's Italian Restaurant on Madison Avenue, on meal of truffles, veal and pasta, and consumed a fine selection champagnes, wines and after lunch drinks.

Abramovich admits he dined at the restaurant on Friday with friends, but denies that he spent that much. However, owner Nello Balan, claims the bill it true and added that Mr. Abramovich wanted "excellence and perfection" at his meal.

Afternoon Imbibe
Ballan’s staff claims that the group purchased two magnums of Cristal rose champagne at $5,000 per bottle, and Chateau Petrus wine, three bottles of La Tache Romanee Conti pinot noir, bringing their total purchase just on wine to more than $34,000.
