A Nigerian oil, gas and aviation tycoon, Mr Kola Aluko allegedly
spent about $1.5 million on champagne at Leo DiCaprio’s star-studded
birthday bash.
According to a popular US based tabloid, the Multimillionaire
businessman Aluko, a co-founder of the Made In Africa Foundation who was
recently seen lunching in Paris with Naomi Campbell, was among a group
of billionaires who bought bottle after bottle of champagne at
DiCaprio’s 39th birthday party at Tao Downtown.
Big spenders who ordered bottle after bottle of champagne at the bash
included “The Wolf of Wall Street” producer Joey McFarland and Texas
businessman Nate Paul. Other billionaires there included Vladimir
Doronin, Ron Burkle, Jho Low and Vivi Nevo.
The actor raised more than $3 million on the night for his charity
the Leo DiCaprio Foundation by adding a hefty fee on top of all the
bottles, plus donations from his wealthy friends.
One of Aluko’s reps however denied he spent $1.5 million on
champagne, but confirmed he would make a donation to Leo’s Foundation
for charity.
One guests said, “The party was wild, wall-to-wall models. There were
probably 20 girls to every guy. Leo started the night with a dinner in a
private room and then joined the party around midnight.
“Danny A, who hosted, would get on the microphone and announce who
placed the champagne order and for how much, . . . then a train of 100
bottles would come out with sparklers and girls dressed in burlesque
outfits.”
