Les Moonves Stiffs Parking Valet Because He Only Carried Huge Wad of 100s

Look at the size of that wad! It's huge! And it is all 100 dollar bills! How much you carrying there, Les? $5000? $10,000? $20,000? More?

As we have seen, the networks declined to report that their CEOs including CBS CEO Les Moonves who earned over $54 million this past year were "overpaid." Perhaps they were embarrassed to report this. However, even more embarrassing is that Moonves is so cheap that he used a big wad of hundred dollar bills to stiff a restaurant parking valet out of a tip as you can see in the video on the Page Six report of the New York Post:

Moonves probably used that hundred dollar wad ploy many times before to get out of tipping valets and/or waiters.

Oh, come now - who among us has never been stymied by an immense wad of $100 bills when attempting social intercourse with one’s inferiors? Happens to me ten, twelve times a day.

Cheap bastard and undoubtedly a liberal too. He could have always asked for change. The valet would be happy with $20 tip.

Valet: Oh that’s OK sir, I can make change. I carry a huge wad of 50s just for people like you...

A CEO somehow can’t figure out to hand a valet $100 and ask for $80 back? I’m sure Moonves has been down this road many times before and uses the hundred dollar bill excuse regularly to stiff the “peons.”

It’s most likely a bunch of one’s with a 100 on the top....

Years ago, on of the Kennedy's was campaigning in MA. He went into a bakery to shake hands and pretend to be a normal person. As part of that schtick, he (I think it was Joseph P. Kennedy) ordered a bag of pastries and bagels. When it came time to pay up, the guy did an exaggerated "reach for the wallet" -- only to discover (shock!) that he had left it at home. He still intended to walk out with the bag of baked goods. Not so fast! The shop owner re-took possession and invited Kennedy to come back and pick it up when he could pay.

Rich people often think everything should be free for them.

Ah, the old ‘carry a huge wad of $100 bills so you can stiff the valet’ ploy.

Or just say "it's yer lucky day, bud," and give the guy a C-note? This dude makes $54 million a year.

Personally I've solved the issue by carrying around little leather pouches filled with gold florins. But I'm gonna want the F-250 sparkling when I get back.

The problem is that the largest bill extant is $100. If there were a $1000 bill or better yet a $10,000 bill available, then it wouldn’t be such an encumbering wad, but a slim packet that could easily fit in a gold money clip.

I’ve often marveled at how many of the very rich seem to be immense cheapskates. If I had earned 54 million bones last year, I’d be handing Benjamins out to valets left and right, 3 or 4 at a time. Not liked I’d miss it.

Yup, me too. Bummer when that happens but I can't see giving a guy a $100 tip for parking my Leaf. OK, OK, I don't have a Leaf, it's a Lexus but the principle is the same. Lexus and Leaf both begin with “L.”

OK, OK, I don't carry a wad of $100s around either!

Cause and effect. They are rich partly because they were tightwads in their businesses. Lifelong habits die hard.

Hopefully the valets had some fun with the car...

If the jerk- is really that flush, he can just give a $100 tip. It’s not significant to him.

I read about a parking valet who parked Frank Sinatra’ s car. When he brought the car up, Frank asked “Hey kid, what’s the biggest tip you ever got?” “$100,” the young man replied. Sinatra handed him $1000, got in his car and drove off. I would bet that was probably one of the coolest things that ever happened to him, and he probably told that story a million times.

Kennedy never carried any money or a wallet at all. He was notorious for never having money and one of friends or aides picking up the tab.
