Russian Billionaire Blows $52,000 on Lunch!!!!!!
Posted Oct 31st 2009 12:34AM by TMZ Staff

Most people don't make $52,000 in a year -- but Friday afternoon one Russian billionaire dropped that much cash on LUNCH!!!!!



TMZ has just obtained the bill handed to Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich earlier today after lunch at Nello's in New York -- a bill which totaled a ridiculous $47,221.09.

The check had an automatic gratuity of 20% -- $7,328 -- but we're told the party threw down an extra $5,000, bringing the tip to 26%.

We're told there were 10 people at the table, who feasted on white truffles, filet mignon and a whole lotta uber-pricey wine.

This blows Jay-Z out of the water -- who just a few days ago, dropped $1,700 on lunch at the same place.

Wow, that's an expensive lunch. I wonder if the people over there are saying that's not fair that he needs to spread his wealth, like they do over here.

I wish I would gotten that tip!

Haha yeah really, some waiter or waitress is pretty happy! Dang, I'd be eating steaks a lot
