£105,805 bar bill

A businessman's night out at a London nightclub ended with a bar bill for £105,805.

The man and his circle of friends, which had swelled by closing time, had polished off 80 bottles of champagne, including a six-litre methuselah of Cristal worth £30,000 and a £9,600, three-litre jeroboam.

The bill for champagne alone came to more than £80,000. One bottle of vodka cost £1,400, reports the Daily Telegraph.

The celebration took place at Crystal in Marylebone, a nightclub launched with the help of Prince William and Prince Harry's friend Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe.

A favourite with the horsey set, its founding members include Lady Victoria Hervey and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.

Fraser Donaldson, a spokesman for the club, said: "I have been in the nightclub business for 20 years and this is an all-time record."

The spending spree began when the businessman, who is believed to be based in Dubai, arrived on Saturday night with about 18 friends.

He started by ordering a £25 bottle of Pinot Grigio but before long he told club staff: "I want the drinks to be flowing all night."

The drinkers drifted away at 5am but not before a nightcap of vodka, a Belvedere Methuselah, the equivalent of eight bottles.

I laughed when I first read this and thought "good effort". Then I thought what an obscene waste of money. That amount of cash would feed a village in the 3rd World for years

I must be getting old

I'd have to work 10 years to earn that sort of cash-and thats assuming i could get through that 10 years without having to spend a single penny! its an obscene amount of money to spend on booze, n all i can say is he's obviously a very shallow person to flaunt that sort of cash. your right, it could have been to much better use if it meant so little to him-i dont think his life would have been missing anything if he hadnt done it, so why?!

I'm often gobsmacked by how much money people can spend on things - thousands on meals, booze, shoes etc. I think if you've worked hard earning it you should be able to spend it how you want to - and so long as you're nice enough to "pass on" your good fortune to those less well off, ie waiters etc. The one's who simply have money without earning it, now that's another matter .........

Some people just have no concept of what poor is, or that they (we) have a moral and social responsibility to help those who dont have food, water and safe place to live.

Poor Madcat... what she has to put up with once a Month

On the question of the Bar Bill, It is the guys money and he is entitled to spend it as he wishes, HOWEVER, if he can afford to waste that sort of Cash, I sincerely hope that he does have a large Budget for charitable organisations as well...
