This is an actual receipt from Nello's in New York City. The customer was Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who had no problem dropping 47k on food and drinks for himself and five other people.
It's big. It's $125 mil. It's hers. Plenty of space for Nick to hide… so that's fun.
Cessna is sick and tired of everyone complaining about CEOs using their private jets. So they are launching a new ad campaign, the theme of which is basically: only cowards fly commercial. When did blinking become so dishonorable? Isn't it, like, necessary?

The New York Times continues its sobering look at how the economic crisis is impacting rich people with this article on how fancy business lunches are becoming way less common, and more awkward, now that nobody wants to pick up the tab. “This is what it has come to: Can I come to your office and have a cup of water?” one victim says. DEAR GOD, IS IT TAP WATER? Please say it's not tap water. Horrors.

You guys, it is actually really tough to scrape by on $500,000 in New York. President Obama's limits on executive pay are way harsh.
Celebrity Buzz The bombshell will star in and executive produce an HBO series about a woman in her early 50s who divorces her high-profile hubby and re-entering the singles market. Also, Ellen Barkin divorced her high-profile hubby before re-entering the singles market. Just saying.
Business Buzz Despite having sent a cool million dollars worth of jewels to friends and family over the holidays, the alleged mastermind behind arguably a $50 billion Ponzi Scheme - the largest financial fraud in history - was given permission to remain under house arrest in his Manhattan penthouse on $10M bail. How long can a guy be cooped up in a sprawling penthouse before getting sick and tired of taking baths in a jacuzzi filled with gold? Our heart goes out.
Celebrity Buzz Oscar winner Morgan Freeman's wife, Myrna Colley-Lee, may snag up more than $100M in a divorce settlement. In related news, Morgan Freeman poops gold.
Celebrity Buzz The world’s foremost celebrity photographer is $715,000 in the hole, despite earning a rumored cool $2M at Vanity Fair annually. If only she’d had a nickel for every time someone mentioned Miley Cyrus’s exposed shoulder.
Looks like someone actually bought the I Am Rich iPhone App, albeit accidentally. Here’s a hint about the internet: Clicking the ‘buy’ button usually leads to things being purchased.
Culture Buzz An article in Make magazine about how uglify your fancy bike in order to deter thieves is part of the larger ‘stealth wealth’ trend. The counter movement to ‘bling’ is all about inconspicuous consumption (logos are so gauche). It’s still about consumption, but with subtler clues to your social status.
Culture Buzz Virgin CEO Richard Branson conducts a wedding on a mid-flight airplane to outer space. Add this to the list of things you’ll never get to do. Perhaps the closest taste you’ll ever get is one of these zero-gravity sex chairs.
Culture Buzz The handsomest Johnson there is? Smart, young, and attractive, director/Johnson & Johnson heir Jamie could come straight from a Gossip Girl plot line. Related: His upcoming doc, The One Percent.
