A pair of rival billionaires set a new world record Thursday (July, 22nd) night at Les Caves du Roy nightclub in St. Tropez with an East vs. West contest to see who could order the most champagne. Zhen Low, the younger brother of the Malaysian tycoon Jho Low, became involved in a competition with Winston Fisher, a New York property developer, to see who could order more £600 ($930) bottles of Cristal for their friends. In the end, Zhen Low turned out to be the winner when he made for a whopping $2.6 million champagne bill.
The Low vs. Fisher champagne-ordering contest was witnesed by by Thor Equities CEO Joseph Sitt, SBE CEO Sam Nazarian and Paris Hilton, which herself raked up a bar bill of £350,000 buying 10 six-liter bottles of champagne.
