In a recent interview with "InStyle" magazine, Sharon Stone voiced a common complaint among celebrities: footing the bill at restaurants, even when dining with a large group. The renowned actress revealed that regardless of the number of guests, she is often the one who ends up paying. "I go out for dinner, with 15 people at the table, and who gets the check? Of course, me. And I always end up paying over $3000, every time I go to a restaurant," expressed Stone.
The 65-year-old star added, "It's very expensive to be famous." Stone acknowledged that many of her frequent expenses include purchases of new homes, and payments for security staff, publicists, makeup artists, and managers.
The issue of table payments was further highlighted by renowned Albanian chef Fundim Gjepali during an interview with Albanian media. Gjepali, an internationally renowned chef, shared his observation that there are wealthy individuals and businessmen who frequent restaurants without bringing a wallet because they refuse to pay.
"The wealthy without wallets. Well-known people, and businesses don't want to pay. Sometimes they don't even bring a wallet with them," remarked Gjepali.
This phenomenon sheds light on the entitlement often associated with fame and wealth. Despite the financial burden, individuals like Sharon Stone continue to face the expectation of covering expenses, highlighting a societal norm where the rich are not always willing to foot the bill.
