This is Lebron James' $171,000 bill after a night out at the bar

[TheRealCJ]

Yes, how DARE he spend the money he earns on frivolous partying.

I don't know what's with all this "Lebron James" hatred (I don't even know who he really is). But if this was any other rich celebrity, it wouldn't even be newsworthy.

Last summer he decided to have an hour long special on national television to announce which team he's going to play for. Pretty egotistical way to do it, but he justified that the money he makes from that one hour show would go to charity.

Anyways, it resulted in humiliating the fans of his former team (also his home town).

The issue could be that if he can spend 100k all in one night, he could've also opened up his checkbook to donate without having his national tv hour.

So what you're saying is: sports star has big ego, abandoned sentimentality for fame and fortune, and spent a lot of money on frivolities?

Hmm, never heard that one before.

I personally don't hate him. and he can spend his money however he likes. but what I meant to emphasize was how he made his career choice.

if the result was his fans burning his jerseys, his merchandise, renting out a billboard to emphasize how much the city hates him... something clearly went wrong.. even with the guy with huge ego wanting fame and fortune..

Yeah, something HAS gone wrong. And the Federal government should be doing everything it can to figure out how the mercury got into the town's water supply in the first place.

Another example of people doing something completely unnecessary, and being paid by the vapid interest of the mindless masses to do so.

I laughed my ass off when I saw the bud light on the bill... but I was crying inside.

No taste, just brand names. The things I could do with 171 thousand dollars...

 

[Aur0ra145]

$9 for Bud Light?!

That place was incredibly over priced.

 

[sneakypenguin]

I'm appalled at the prices of red bull good grief, you can buy a can out of the cooler at the gas station for less than 2 bucks... I'm in the wrong business.

 

[idarkphoenixi]

Seems ironic buying 33 bottles of cristal (33???? DAMN) and then a 12 pack of bud light.

 

[Wintermoot]

wow! that must have been some night!

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

I wanna go to a bar with Lebron James. Sounds like an awesome time.

Hell yeah! However I think we'd die from liver failure within the hour.

Fuck our livers! LETS GET SMASHED!!!

 

[Latinidiot]

How does he stay fit?

Considering it probably isn't physically possible for him to have consumed that much in one night, I imagine most of that went to guests, friends, and groupies.

I wonder what a $9 Bud Light tastes like...

It tastes like a 2 dollar one, but your butt feels strange...

Also, I love how the table was free...

I believe that if you order enough of those beers, you'll soon start to feel a knife in your back.

He's a talented individual and he earned it. I don't personally care for basketball but I do find other sports entertaining.
I watch lots of hockey (they don't make quite as much as basketball players but still quite a bit) and I find it entertaining to watch the best players.
They earned their money, let em spend it on what they want. Also I don't think he drank it all himself lol.

I like the way you think sir.

 

[Aureliano]

Hope he had fun spending all that money that night. Maybe it's just me, but my favorite nights at the bars are rarely my most expensive nights out.

 

[almostgold]

Ballin. Man knows how to party. Cookies to him I guess.

 

[LadyRhian]

Warm/cold piss and disappointment, unless I miss my guess.

OT: That's pretty... I actually don't have words for it. I wonder what the BTL PTR GRN MAG is.

"BTL PTR GRN MAG" is almost certainly a bottle of Patron Gran something tequila.

Magnum? I know that's a size of liquor bottle- usually for champagne.

And $8 a bottle for a small bottle of Fiji water? Yeesh! I can buy that for $.79 at my local grocery store!

 

[ChaoticKraus]

That was one expensive night. Respect to him for blowing money on something that's actually worth something. That being having good times. Looks like he gave a lot of people quite the night by paying for their drinks aswell.

Also, what is up with those 6 litres of Cristal? I know it's one of those "status" drinks but WTF?

 

[DeathWyrmNexus]

Should we really expect more from a person who gets paid a gazillion dollars to throw an inflated rubber bladder through a metallic ring?

I doubt one of the Taiwanese surgeons I watched removing several softball sized tumors from a young boy's face and then painstakingly reconstructing it got paid the same amount as that bill.

And that is exactly why I think humans have no actual hope of evolving into something better...

 

[Snotnarok]

Why spend 170k on something you won't remember the next day?

Nor will anyone else, so no one will thank you either.

 

[Valkatron]

At least he got something for his money, i work in a Casino in Australia and i routinely get junkets coming in and better 200-500k a hand on Baccarat (A hand of Bac takes between 10 seconds and 3 mins depending on how they want the cards dealt and what they do with them).

I had a dude turnover $20 million in 10 mins, he lost it all. For his weekend here it cost him about $60 million.

 

[mooncalf]

Cristal is amazingly easy to get in bulk for such an exclusive price tag...
And a 6-pack of red bull costing 48.00, is that for real?!
