Inside the Secret Lives of the Ultra-Rich: Shocking Tales from Luxury Hotels and Restaurants Revealed

He left the waitress a small pile of Benjamins as a tip. Had to be 4 or 5 hundred dollars. I couldn’t quite tell because they were folded and rumpled from being in his wallet.

My mouth fell open when I saw it and I forgot I was even heading to the restroom. I looked out by the car and he was watching me through the glass windows, held up his finger to his lips mouthing, “shhhh,” and beckoned me back out to the car.

I didn’t tell, but my eyes were glued to the table as we pulled away in his car. The waitress collapsed into the seat of the table when she saw it. Pretty sure she was crying.

Letting that guy get away was the dumbest thing my best friend ever did in her life.

Luxury yacht view from high-end hotel restaurant with staff and guests showcasing rich people behavior. My uncle works at a very upscale restaurant on a very well-to-do and desirable vacation island in the Atlantic Ocean.

One of their regular customers is a billionaire oil guy. My uncle has told me:

* he arrives on a yacht that tows a smaller yacht. The smaller yacht is still big enough to have a helicopter.

* he demands to have his dogs seated at the table and feeds them foie grass and expensive water.

* when he takes humans to eat my uncle has never seen him with the same woman twice, and often it’s a table of women.

* if he really liked the meal he will go through the restaurant and, in front of everyone, peel off crisp 100s from a giant roll of money in his pocket and tip every service person whether they helped or not.

* one time the owner got a call from health inspectors saying they received a complaint that dogs were seen eating in the restaurant. All the owner did was speak the billionaires name and the health inspector said, “Oh okay, bye.”.

B***h about the tiniest details that they deserve and require (“my Merlot was served at 20 degrees Celsius, it is supposed to be served at 17 degrees Celsius”) , and then don’t tip.

Rich people don’t get rich because they are generous…

Cleanliness is another obsession. “Some are hygiene freaks,” Nikola added. “They’ll make us clean everything twice, like every tile, every glass, every corner. I’ve had colleagues tell me about guests who travel with white gloves to inspect rooms. It’s not a service, it’s a test.”

Ask to purchase two of our high rise bar chairs and keep them in the back for when they come and there is too many people at our bar and they have to wait. Our bar chairs cost 8,000 each. These people wanna spend 16,000 just so they can sit whenever they come in. Thank god our managers and owners have enough sense not to pander THIS much to such freaks.

The dudes fiance lost her rediculously big and expensive engagement ring in the pool so he ordered the hotel to close the pool area to everyone and got all the staff to look for it. The thanked the hotel guests who helped with expensive bottles of wine.

Once saw a wolf of Wall Street type character trying to impress his flock of sheep in an expensive bar. He approaches the server and abruptly orders a round of expensive whiskeys. He then pulls a wad of $100 bills out and extends his arm to her saying “TAKE SOME PEASANT” the whole time refusing to look at her, instead looking at his friends for approval.

She swiftly smashed the entire wad out of his hand and I took great pleasure in his angry reaction while he scrambled to pick up the cash in a crowded bar.

Despite all this, Nikola insists it’s not all bad. “We also meet lovely people, guests who are kind, respectful, and generous. They make the job feel worthwhile.” He added that it’s these thoughtful guests who restore faith in humanity and keep the staff motivated even after dealing with the demanding ones.

A young man I’ll call Business D****e tried to send back two bottles of Penfolds Grange, not because of the taste, but because he was trying to impress older potential clients with his stunning wine knowledge (yeah, right).

The potential clients were so grossed out by the display that they paid for the meal and insisted on paying for both bottles and drinking them. Business D****e tried to reach for a bottle to pour himself a glass and the client told him that since it wasn’t up to his standards he couldn’t possibly let him have any. Effective Business Shaming 101. It was like watching Jack Donaghy at work.

Used to be a bartender, had 4 guys walk up to the bar and order 4 shots of Remy Martin Louis XXIII… which was $435 a 1.5 oz pour.

It’s normally poured into a snifter and a discerning drinker will usually dilute it down slightly because its between 40-100 years aged and is like 55% alcohol by volume.

These four rich wankers didn’t know any of that and wanted it in shot glasses… and the proceeded to throw back $1700 worth of the finest cognac you’ll ever taste.
