And for that, you have truffle farmers, chefs, cleaning staff, and a highly tipped waiter, etc, etc. Glad he could do it.

This guy has ex-Spetznaz staffed full-time on his yacht. $52K is walking-around money.

Taking money out of the mafia economy into truffle farmers and waiters is great stimulus.

I wonder what the wines were. Probably 50% of the bill.
Probably a lot of ‘40s French and ‘90s Napa.

I always say Large coffee instead of “grande” coffee whenever I go to Starbucks (which is rare) because I like Pete’s coffee.

Piffle. There were ten people in the lunch bunch.
Obamy blew a quarter mil on dinner for two in NY.

Well, then I forgot about some pretty pricey Ossetra Caviar... that can get the check fat quick, too.

3 Romanee Conti La Tache at $5k each
2 Chateau Petrus @ $5k each
2 Christal Rose Maginums @ $5K each
(here are the retail price listings for those, generally restaurants will charge twice this price http://www.wine-searcher.com/find/romanee+conti+la+tache
)
It also looks like they got 5 glasses of a Tawney port, 1940 at a little over $50/glass.

Except he’s probably a marxist crook.
No waiter is worth 12 grand for one meal.

one Russian billionaire dropped that much cash on LUNCH!!!!!
The Russian Billionaire (places pinky on lower lip)
Is laughing at the absurd, delusion of the value of the $USD! In other words, the Russian Billionaire, is mocking the value of our collective up scale insolvent whore house's.

No waiter is worth 12 grand for one meal. Worth of anything is subjective to what someone is willing to pay. If someone was willing to pay him a $12k tip, then, by definition, that is what is service was worth.
