Businessman spends $247,000 on night out

The Sydney Morning Herald

July 25, 2007 - 8:39AEST

A Middle Eastern businessman spent over £105,000 ($245,300) in a five-hour, champagne- and vodka-fuelled spending spree in a London nightclub at the weekend.

Fraser Donaldson, a representative of Crystal, a club favoured by Prince Harry, said in 20 years working in the industry it was the biggest bill he'd seen from one customer.

The unnamed big spender entered Crystal at midnight on Saturday with friends - nine women and eight men - and ordered a $US50 bottle of white wine, a spokesman for the club said.

But before long he was ordering magnums of Dom Perignon at $US1,400 each and then called for a Methuselah - eight bottles in one - of Cristal Champagne at $US60,000 and the party spread.

The festivities ended with a "night cap" consisting of a Methuselah of Belvedere vodka, which cost $US2,800.

"He basically just said, 'keep the drinks flowing'," the club spokesman said.

When the party left at 5am, the bill was £81,471.50, which with tax and service added amounted to £105,805.28. It included the cost of six Coca-Colas.
