Leonardo DiCaprio spends $3m on Champagne
Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio recently spent US$3 million on Champagne for his birthday celebration.
In Touch magazine reports that DiCaprio was celebrating his 38th birthday with friends in New York.
An insider told the magazine: “He went all out for his party at The Darby.”
The Darby is a hot spot in New York’s West Village and DiCaprio was joined by a host of other A-list celebrities for his birthday, including Beyonce Knowles and her husband Jay-Z, Harry Potter actress Emma Watson and Cameron Diaz. A whole host of other famous faces were also at the party.
The insider added: “He and his crew spent $3 million on Armand de Brignac,” the exclusive French Champagne, which sells for up to $250,000 a bottle. “They ordered 18 cases, then requested more bottles.”
It is reported that the star-studded bash cost a total of $4m, but all proceeds were donated to the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation and Red Cross, to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
The Ripper loves Champers just as much as the next oenophile, but having tasted the standard Armand de Brignac offering, not sure what the fuss is about. Heaps better bubbles out there that don’t come w/the stigma of being uber pricey cause celebs want it. In fact, tasted blind, Armand de Brignac would finish well behind the pop monster, Moet….and that’s it.
I would dat so to, I don’t especially like Armand de Brignac. But actually, tested blindfolded, it has snatched the title of best champagne in the world a couple of times already…
