On Sunday night, the rapper-turned-businessman-husband of Beyoncé was spotted celebrating his pal Juan “OG” Perez’s birthday all throughout New York City. Jay and friends would wind up spending more than $110,000 on food and drink in the course of an evening.Jay-Z began with a surf-n-turf meal of steak, lobster, and sushi with Perez—president of Roc Nation Sports, the sporting division of Jay-Z’s management firm Roc Nation—and a group of friends and acquaintances, according to People. According to Page Six, the dinner totaled $13,000.
The crew then ascended to the island’s northernmost points, where they purchased $9,000 worth of drinks from Made in Mexico in Inwood. Drinks included D’Ussé cognac, which Jay-Z owns a portion of.They eventually arrived to Playroom, a nightclub in Inwood, where Jay-Z began purchasing champagne rounds for the entire establishment. The champagne was “Ace of Spades” from Armand de Brignac, a company he owns, which may have been fortunate for him because part of the money was probably going straight back into his pocket.
A shocked employee of the club posted a picture of their receipt on Snapchat, displaying an order for 20 bottles of Ace of Spades Gold, valued at $24,000, and 20 bottles of Ace of Spades Rosé, valued at $50,000. Their total for the night out was $91,135 after deducting more than $6,000 in taxes and tipping $11,100.A cool $113,135 isn’t bad for a Sunday night, especially when you consider that the median yearly income in the United States was approximately $59,000 in 2017.And we believed those $15 drinks were outrageous!
