Inside the Secret Lives of the Ultra-Rich: Shocking Tales from Luxury Hotels and Restaurants Revealed
Worked at a private villa in Bali. One guest stood out. She only drinks and bathes in Evian, so one day I spent almost an hour filling a large tub from tons of Evian bottles. The same young woman complained that the path from her villa gate to her room wasn’t well lit. She wore sunglasses at night.
EDIT: Thank you for the silver!
This was not stereotypical but ridiculous it was. I had a customer come in in the most basic cheap clothes. Pull out a bundle of 2000$ in cash. Buy a glass of our most expensive wine. Sit by himself for about an hour not doing anything then leaving having taken only 1 or 2 sips.
I was in Amsterdam to judge the Cannabis Cup years ago, with about 30 people that had all expenses paid by this one rich dude that owned race cars we all worked on. We all were trying to go to lunch one day, when we came across a steakhouse. It was packed. They said we wouldn’t be able to all fit for hours. The rich guy, without even hesitating, asked, “Can we smoke in here?” They replied that there was absolutely no smoking in the restaurant (as is most of Amsterdam, outside of coffeeshops). He asked for the manager. When they came over, he said, “How much will it be to empty the restaurant?” The manager looked confused. Rich dude repeats, “I want to know how much money you want to get everyone out of here, so my friends and I can have lunch and smoke.” I think the manager made a phone call or something, came back, spoke with the rich dude, and said to wait a minute. We had to wait about 15 minutes, but slowly, everyone began leaving with to-go boxes, and had surprised looks on their faces, because they weren’t paying their checks. We ended up pulling together a bunch of tables and ordering a ton of food, while everyone smoked weed. I barely even got to eat, because I was the only one that could roll worth a s**t, so I probably rolled like 15-20 blunts, while waiters came around to check on us. It was really surreal. I think the restaurant told their customers that there was an issue and they had to close, but their meals would be comped (in reality, they were all added to my friends bill). I don’t even want to know how much he spent, just for lunch that day. At the time, it was a place I couldn’t even afford going to, on my own. This guy pays everyone to leave, pays the manager to shut the doors, pays to let us smoke weed in a place that doesn’t allow smoking weed. At first the waiters and staff seemed really pissed, but he would tip them like $100 every time they would refill his water or whatever, so they were soon having a great time. It was the most ultimate flex move I’d ever seen.
Edit: had the wrong restaurant name.
