£105,805 bar bill
A businessman's night out at a London nightclub ended with a bar bill for £105,805.
The man and his circle of friends, which had swelled by closing time, had polished off 80 bottles of champagne, including a six-litre methuselah of Cristal worth £30,000 and a £9,600, three-litre jeroboam.
The bill for champagne alone came to more than £80,000. One bottle of vodka cost £1,400, reports the Daily Telegraph.
The celebration took place at Crystal in Marylebone, a nightclub launched with the help of Prince William and Prince Harry's friend Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe.
A favourite with the horsey set, its founding members include Lady Victoria Hervey and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.
Fraser Donaldson, a spokesman for the club, said: "I have been in the nightclub business for 20 years and this is an all-time record."
The spending spree began when the businessman, who is believed to be based in Dubai, arrived on Saturday night with about 18 friends.
He started by ordering a £25 bottle of Pinot Grigio but before long he told club staff: "I want the drinks to be flowing all night."
The drinkers drifted away at 5am but not before a nightcap of vodka, a Belvedere Methuselah, the equivalent of eight bottles!
