I'm not sure what's more shocking, the 10K wine/champagne or the twelve bucks for a large water!

The bad part is that I really don't recognize all the food items listed. I think I am going to make beans and wieners with cornbread for dinner.

or the twelve bucks for a large water! Give it a couple of years and some movie theater chains will probably have bottled water priced not far from that.

Not terrible (relatively speaking, for a place like that) once you discount the $45,000 derived from the $5k/bottle booze.

...and it's not even about the food, it's mostly about being able to say "I drank a 15,000$ bottle of wine".
I see that in China... people ordering expensive stuff (Champagne, Cognac) - although nowhere near expensive as that - then either just drink it without tasting, or opening the bottle and leaving it there almost untouched - maybe a little.

I wonder how you get to be a billionaire in Soviet Russia? Arms sales? Drugs? Mafia?

Like most good times out with some friends the bar tab exceeds the food bill. In this case 35 grand for wine and I bet no one even got a decent buzz on.

I wonder how you get to be a billionaire in Soviet Russia? Arms sales? Drugs? Mafia? Being one of the first with original ideas in a country where people have learned for centuries not to think for themselves - first the czar thought for you, later the party. And shady business, indeed... or at least shady deals in legitimate business (oil, construction...)

Actually, the best way was to snap up Soviet industries right at the fall for a song.
Gas and oil get all the press, but the right man with the right amount of hard currency at the right time could pick up transportation networks, harbor operations, etc. and have a monopoly on them for a fraction of their worth.

I know it's all relative, but that's still a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a dinner and drinks. Even if that's what he earns in interest every day, it's still mind boggling that some people are so removed from reality that this happens. Even more amazing: there are businesses that exist to cater to this type of consumer.
