We wonder at the behaviour of John Terry, Ashley Cole and Didier Drogba during the World Cup and in their private lives.

But what about the example set by their boss, Chelsea owner Roman Abromavich? Here’s an example of HIS spending…….

In the company of Dasha Zhukova and his son Arkadi and three business partners , the Chelsea man stopped over for lunch at restaurant “Nello’s” in New York.

It was obvious from the start that the high quality and type of food would take priority over cost said restaurant owner Nello Balan. Mr Abramovich began his diner with carpaccio with white truffles followed by Milan lamb with pasta and parmesan. For desert Mr Abramovich tried delicious teramisu. They were drinking champagne and expensive wines. They looked no different than New York tourists said the waiter.

Bet the waiter enjoyed the $7,328 tip!

[Thanks John W]
