Meanwhile Over In The French Riviera...
... The local socialists are suffering under oppressive austerity. And by that we mean the 1% continues to party like it is 1999. Of course, this is amateur hour for the luxury beach club: recall that the man, the FX myth, the, well, arestee, Alex Hope spent $323,483 back in March. That was right before the market swooned. Is this another interim top?

$110 Grand for 2 bottles Dom. Bullshit.
Indeed.
They can't blow the money on inflated mansion prices in the US anymore. It gets scrutinized.
Good way to hide money outflow is with restaurants.
No it's real.

For people to spend that kind of money on a drink when innocent children are being abandonded on street corners, well quite simply means it's time for REVOLUTION! The world could definitetly use better leadership.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!

If it is not taxpayer money, it should be spent!
Took some time to tally up all the assets in the world. Hope you enjoy it. All of these figures have a real basis, except for the value of unlisted companies, I made up a number of 10,000,000 companies average value of $425,000. I could not find anything on the net. Funny about that....well you know entrepreneurs didn't build that anyway now did they?
196 Trillion in World Assets. Now keep in mind that derivative bets are around 700 trillion.
What part of these assets shown below represent actual "Wealth" --- well start stacking up on those, know what I mean?

No tip?
And 50 cartons of Marlboro.
Was in St Tropez once, couldn't afford the restaurants or the hotels and this was in the early 90s when a coke was only about 5 euros/pounds. Took the TGV down from Paris to St Rafael and a ferry over to Tropez. Had a friend who worked on a rich bastards yacht who was out of town for the week, we had to sneak on and off the boat at night to avoid the other crew members. We drank plonk, ate crusty bread with brie and snuck onto the nude private beaches during the days to hit on rich french chicks....ahh the memories.
Plastic champagne douchebags.
I have no desire to be any where near those people.
They don't have enough money to talk me into that.
The Cokes must have been for the 17 year old hookers.
Who would drink that with caviar...
I like it, you'd buy her for sex, but GAAAWD, you'd never let her drink alcohol!
I heard about similar tab's at the London Olympics...Customers: IOC officials, not athletes obviously...
Looks like women were free that night.
Well, if you spend 100 grand, free is a relative term.
Real or not, stuff costs what it costs where it is sold for a simple reason - someone pays it. If the price is too high, people without means (or people with wits) will stay away. If people have so much money that this bill is irrelevant, then that is a different. Then the pricing has less to do with the goods, then it does as acting as a form of membership fee to keep people of lesser means out.
Interestingly, HFT creates the illusion that equities are worth a specific price, because two computers trade those shares back and forth. Sure there are humans that buy at that price, but to them the price may not be relevant (i.e. they bought the whole "own equities" story). Is the Coke really worth 10 euros like on this receipt? Probably not, certainly not to me unless I am dying of thirst (in which case the money is irrelevant - which seems to be the Fed game - juice inflation and keep yields low so investors are dying of thirst for yield and must go to risk). But in a manipulated market, how can you know without occassionally turning off the machines for real price discovery?
Rich or poor, its good to have money.

OK, I don't know if there's more than one Nikki Beach in St. Tropez. But from the menu on the NB St. Tropez website, prices shown don't seem to match that level of outrageousness in the receipt.
These are special off menu items for the super elite. One of those champaigns they only make 36 bottles a year of. They probably hide stuff like this because of the outrage it would cause.
Hey, maybe the restaurant is a money laudering operation. Special prices for special guests?
Looks like the GSA 'meeting' in Las Vegas:

Must be the dom perignon! Groovy baby
Where is Alex Hope?....sounds like Who is John Galt? If he commits suicide it will be the Death of Hope and if does it on a trampoline, well then Hope Springs Eternal....
Some twat let himself get ripped off buying overpriced booze in a bar full of le bling.
Bottom feeders eating each other.
Yawn.
Bring on the guillotines
French police were preparing for another night of violence Tuesday after clashes struck the northern city of Amiens overnight, with rioters torching cars and a nursery school in a resurgence of urban unrest that has periodically roiled the country.

It's so unpleasant when the hoi poloi get unruly.
Whoa, look at this,
Too much Arabs in my neighbourhood,
Fire in the air makes you scream and shout,
Welcome to French suburbs !
Whoa, look at this,
Burnin' cars in a large amount,
Fire in the air makes you scream and shout,
Welcome to French suburbs !
Isn't champagne a bit vulgar?
It just amounts to a gate fee so the riff raff don't enter the playground of the rich and famous. I guess you could sip 2 Evians gawk at rich people and then leave.
it's a FAKE
This bill is completely FAKE
Moreover, I'd call it pre-revolutionary psy-ops.
Like I give a fuck what the rich do with their money. At least it didn't get spent on a spontaneously combusting Finnish car built with American tax money.
If you're "outraged" by this, it's already too late. Pick up your smock and red book on your way out.
All that money and they can't think of something better than a fucking Coke to drink? Commoners trying to be someone.
Beluga 125g for €2200 ?
I hope is gold-plated huso huso and comes with asian hookers squirting cocaine from their specially modified water pistols.
All you can hope is that he choked on his caviar.
I hope someone spit in his wine

In US citizenism, the middle class is the King Class.
The middle class drains from both the upper class and the lower class.
It is a middle class society: upper class is led to overpay its consumption while lower class consumption exists only to favour middle class consumption.
Always going for middle class products range is the best deal if you do not want to overpay and be sold remains of consumption.
This looks like OPM
To be fair it looks like it was lunch for 8, so it was only, like, $15000 per person. Hey, we all need a treat sometimes -- for you added bacon to your cheeseburger for $1.95 extra, for them, well, more...
Welcome to St. Tropez!
I like champagne.
SO, a 10k tip?
1 table, 16 people, say 4 hours = 2500 € an hour.
Nice. would you like me to motorboat your ass cheeks with that?
a great lawyer makes $600 an hour, call girls in nyc maybe 500-1000 an hour.
