British billionaire and Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley recently visited hot spot Pink Elephant here in Manhattan and well, decadence and unlimited credit be thy name: He ran up a $216,107 and 51 cent bill there in one night, including approximately $60,000 in tips to waitresses and a four figure tip to security (who I think got the raw end of the deal). How'd such a tab come to be? Well, ordering 175 bottles of Cristal Champagne, the club's entire stock, is one way to account for some of that.
He arrived at around midnight with a group of male and female pals and started ordering Cristal right next to the dancefloor. Before long he was out of control. The waitresses were amazed when he ordered 100 bottles of Cristal and proceeded to hand them out to clubbers and spray them over his friends.
