Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant is probably the most competitive athlete of his generation, and this shows both on and off the court. The best example for the latter came in 2007, when Kobe and his wife attended the grand opening of BLUSH nightclub in Las Vegas. Being a celebrity filled event, also there was Antonio Esfandiara, who ordered 2 bottles of Cristlas, which cost $1,400 each at the time. Kobe got wind of this, and decided to one up the gambler, ordering 5 bottles only for him and his wife.
Being a gambler, Esfandiara couldn’t just let this one slide, and asked for 10 more bottles. Kobe, who’s not exactly fond of losing, ordered 15 more and that was the end of that.
In the end, the total bill came to $21,000 excluding tips for 20 bottles that he didn’t even drink.
The lesson here is that if you’re an aspiring club owner, it’s always a good idea to invite someone like Kobe who decides to out-order everyone else just for the heck of it.
