Most of us are changing our spending habits, whether we’ve been directly or indirectly affected by the Great Recession, but there are those that are definitely not watching their pennies…err, I mean billions.

Roman Abramovich, a Russian billionaire who is worth a cool $8.5 billion, recently spent $47,229.09 for lunch at famed eatery, Nello’s, a popular New York eatery amongst city elites, including celebrities such as Jay-Z and Beyonce. Items that Abramovich and his lunch party feasted on include:

2 Truffle Carpaccio at $200
2 Cristal Rose Magnums at $10,000
2 Chateau Petrus at $10,000
3 La Tache Romanee at $15,000

Let’s not forget that the tip for this delicious and uber-extravagant meal was $7,328. Oh to be a waitress in NYC. Meanwhile, back down at earth, my granola bar/sandwich combo are looking ever so sad and boring…sigh.

Waiting tables never looked so good.
