Hey big spender!

Jay-Z is really living up to his title as hip-hop’s cash king. Fresh from stripping a $373,000 Maybach to its bare essentials, the hip hop mogul spent a reported $250,000 on champagne at a “Watch the Throne” release party at Miami’s Fontainebleau nightclub, according to PEOPLE.

Mr. Sean Carter must have had some kind of service because he reportedly added an additional $50,000 for the tip, and spent “thousands more” on a pasta dinner and shots of tequila at a restaurant inside the hotel.
