Anyone who has ever worked in the service industry knows that a tip can make or break
your night.
So it's disappointing to find out that some of the most wealthy celebs are rumored to
be less-than-generous.
Lucky for us, a number of disgruntled servers are calling out the stars who are surprisingly
cheap.
First up is model and reality star, Kendall Jenner.
In August 2017, Brooklyn's Baby's All Right bar posted a snap of a $24 tab it claimed
belonged to Jenner, claiming she had left no tip at all.
"It's like, at this point I feel like I've done it so much that it's just so comfortable."
Although the post was quickly deleted after it received mixed reactions from social media
users, Jenner responded, tweeting,
"Damn, I guess next time we won't tip in cash."
But the saga didn't end there.
According to the New York Observer, followed by the hashtag "no cash tip," the bar retweeted
Jenner's response along with the paraphrased Nietzsche quote:
"I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you."
That post has also been deleted, but it seems the bar had the final, philosophical word.
"I don't even know who I am anymore."
According to Guinness World Records, Madonna has sold more than 300 million records worldwide,
over her decades-long career, and she's worth a whopping $850 million.
But that doesn't mean she wants to share the wealth.
Rumors about her cheap behavior at restaurants run rampant.
"People didn't believe in Einstein either.
They thought he was a quack."
When she was married to director Guy Ritchie, the couple supposedly tipped just $18 on a
$400 bill at a West London restaurant, which equals a whopping four and a half-percent
gratuity.
We know that tipping isn't really a "thing" in the U.K., but the cheapskate mentality
wasn't bound by culture.
An alleged repeat offender, Madge reportedly dined at Mario Batali's restaurant Babbo in
New York City and left a big fat nothing, as a tip.
Turns out, this "Material Girl" is more of a thrifty broad when it comes to paying it
forward.
According to Forbes, basketball superstar Michael Jordan is one of the highest-paid
athletes of all time, but his reported $1.6 billion net worth hasn't necessarily translated
into generous table manners.
In March 2016, Uproxx reported on rumors alleging that Jordan was in the habit of not leaving
a tip.
This behavior was confirmed in 2014 by fellow baller Charles Barkley, who claimed that Jordan
and former teammate Scottie Pippen are among the cheapest people he knows.
"There's nobody cheaper than Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan.
That's why they're rich.
They don't tip."
A longtime Vegas casino exec told UrbanDaddy that he once witnessed Jordan gambling with
fellow sports legend Wayne Gretzky, revealing,
"Michael had ordered a drink from the cocktail waitress, and he gave her a five-dollar chip.
Wayne took it off the cocktail waitress's tray…grabbed a hundred-dollar chip from
Michael's stack and put it on the…waitress's tray [saying], 'That's how we tip in Las Vegas,
Michael.'"
You'd think that after founding one of the biggest internet companies of all time, Facebook's
Mark Zuckerberg would be able to shell out a solid 20 percent when dining out.
But alas, he apparently cannot, according to The Telegraph.
In 2012, Zuckerberg reportedly left nothing behind on a $38 bill after he and his wife
enjoyed a meal at a restaurant in Rome.
The outlet also reported that Zuckerberg allegedly had already pulled the same move the night
before.
He's also rumored to be quite meticulous when it comes to combing through the bill.
Considering that Zuckerberg's net worth is reportedly in the realm of, oh, $92.7 billion,
when it comes to his tipping habits, we're thinking "unfollow."
"I'll fix that."
Iconic songstress and actress Barbra Streisand's tips allegedly aren't leaving anyone with
fond memories.
According to CNN, the Funny Girl star apparently felt like $10 was the appropriate amount to
leave waitstaff on a $450 bill at an undisclosed restaurant.
In case you don't wanna do the math, that's about 2 percent.
Not only that, Streisand reportedly didn't treat the staff all too well, either.
The New York Post shared one source's comments, who claimed,
"She demanded the best table, acting rude to everyone, and then barely tipped."
"Facts are facts."
Sounds like a meal that everyone involved would prefer to forget.
With Forbes pegging Streisand's net worth at an estimated $400 million, maybe Babz should
skip the fine dining and just order in.
Remember how actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was once planning a run for president?
"If I were to run, I could have a legitimate shot at winning."
Perhaps a little part of why he never went through with it, was thanks to rumors that
he doesn't even know how to tip.
"It's all bulls---.
Yeah.
It's all bulls---."
One disgruntled waiter alleged that after asking a steakhouse to open early to accommodate
him, the former pro wrestler left just $7 in gratuity.
The waiter told Business Insider,
"This guy is not a 'Rock' to me, just a cheap pebble."
For a guy who's reportedly worth an estimated $320 million, he should be tipping like he
means it.
Before singer Miley Cyrus was known for partying in the USA and twerking with the best of them,
she gained some unfortunate notoriety for her stingy tipping.
Cyrus and her sister, Brandi, reportedly dined at the Outback Steakhouse in Burbank, California
in 2009, feasting on $70 worth of steak and mac and cheese.
Too bad for the waitstaff, though, as their "thank you" from the Hannah Montana star was
allegedly a giant goose egg of a tip.
Looking back on the incident, through the lens of her current net worth of an estimated
$600 million, a then-teenage Cyrus at least had a valid excuse.
Or…did she?
A spokeswoman told the New York Daily News,
"[Miley] didn't know she was supposed to tip unless she was eating inside."
"It's however you're feeling."
Mmkay.
