FX Trader Spends $323,483 At Liverpool Night Club

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In what could be the largest (known) bartab in history, an unknown gentleman spent £203,948.80 ($323,483 at the closing GBPUSD spot rate) at Liverpool nightclub PlayGround - a purchase which included a £125,000 bottle of the world's most expensive champagne, Nebuchadnezzar of Armand de Brignac Midas, as well as a whole lot of other drinks, including among them 42 instances of "Pussy" at a low price of £3.00 (the Dire Straits definitely had that part right). The man "was there with about ten friends on a private table but after the big bottle came in they were mobbed by gorgeous girls." As for the man's background: an FX trader believed to be "in his early twenties." Sure enough, this will hardly help bridging the already uncrossable chasm between the 99ers (of whom virtually all can live for this amount for at least one year) and the "balance." Naturally, every hedge fund will now scramble to find and hire said generous patron, who due to his age one can assume was not former SNB head, and comparable FX trading whiz-kid, Philipp Hildebrand.

From The Sun:

Clubbers watched in shock as the man, believed to be a foreign exchange currency trader in his twenties, ordered it.

 

Nightclub boss George Panayiotou ordered the DJ to play the iconic opening music to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey — Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra as it was ferried to the trader's table.

 

One clubber said: "The club went wild when he popped this huge bottle of champagne, and they were handing out glasses of champagne to everyone in the VIP room.

 

"There must have been about 60 of them at any time vying for his attention and he then ordered shots for every single woman in the club."

And that kids, is why going to college is overrated, and everyone should start frontrunning central banks at the earliest age possible.

Those curious what the club is like, here is a clip from the opening:

If I spend $150K on a bottle, I expect the pussy to be free.

Nebuchadnezzar of Armand de Brignac Midas - they make the bottle, pour $5 champagne into it and laugh every step to the bank. If you're paying that much money for a bottle, your mind would find even horse piss delicious - the power of suggestion...

I'm not impressed. I recently supersized my order at Wendy's. I'm not normally one to flaunt my wealth like that - but sometimes you gotta flash some cash for the ladies.

Why is this interesting? Noveau riche people spending loads of money showing off that they have it. They usually crash and burn and the strippers don't talk to them anymore. Yawn.

That club looked like it was full of depressed insecure people standing around posing.  Sorry, not my kind of fun.  I've seen better parties with a couple of cheap kegs of beer, and you didn't even have to pay for it.

Is there an amount of money one has to spend to get these "goregeous girls" into your bed ? Just plain money, no talk, no game, these are the rules. Or is it just asymptotic ?

I guess FxPro will get quite a few new subscriptions from hopefuls eager to blow their money away for a theoretical chance to somehow make 300k out of 200 bucks in this bucket shop. Cause it must be easy if a 20 something did it. Amazing marketing trick guys.

First, Occupy movement has short changed themselves, more like the 99.99%.  Second, you can tell when an established media has lost connection with reality when they express the above comment.

I'd live a decade on that sum.  Let alone the majority of the worlds population that would live for 800 years on that sum.  Not shown in the $ figure is the number of people's deaths that twenty something just inherited.  7 sins? Aren't you people Christian?  Oh, I forgot, Selfishness is good, altruism evil, empathy and compassion are irrational and destructive. The poor deserve to die; the rich deserve unmediated power.
