Seriously, folks, if you were going to fake something like this, would you say it was from Roman Abramovich? No. You'd say it was Justin Timberlake or Rush Limbaugh or someone most of us have actually heard of.
Bottom line - A spaghetti dinner for two cost more than enough to feed 1,000 couples with a nice meal.
« FTA: “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.” »
You'll also see Jay-Z mentioned instead.
So apparently the billionaire denies it, but the restaurant's staff affirms it.
I don't see what the big deal is. Hell, if someone with that much money wants to spend it on a big extravagant dinner, then more power to them and yay for the waiter/ess who gets that table.
He can spend his money on what he wants, but something about this mentality really annoys me.
