Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco… or Grand Prix of the highest bill?

During the Monaco Grand Prix, an afternoon on the terrace of Nikki Beach in Monte Carlo can quickly become very expensive!

Last Friday in Monaco, the bill was steep for this customer of the Nikki Beach located at the Fairmont Hotel who was attending the Monaco Grand Prix, he dared to buy the bottle that breaks price records…130,000 euros a bottle.

Revealed on Twitter, he spent the tidy sum of €154,953 for an afternoon on the terrace of the famous Monte Carlo club. The most striking detail was the price of the Midas Armand de Brignac bottle. This 30-liter double Nebuchadnezzar (equivalent to 40 bottles of champagne) cost him €130,000, as evidenced by the bill. The Chivas Regal Royal Salute 62 bottle came to €12,350.

14 caps: €1,050. At Nikki Beach, a glass of Coca-Cola costs €12, while a fruit platter sets you back €33. This customer also bought 14 caps at €75 each: €1,050 in total, according to Esquire magazine. His identity remains a closely guarded secret.

Chefs can certainly sell a lot of menus to reach such sums… huge discrepancy with reality!
