Lady Gaga receives $700 Laurent Perrier pressie from Papa
The father of pop sensation Lady Gaga has splashed out $700 on a magnum of Laurent Perrier champagne.
Poker Face hitmaker Gaga was celebrating at the Headquarters strip club earlier this week and the owners were surprised to get a phone call from father Joseph Germanotta.
He called the Midtown venue to order a bottle for his daughter, but a source told the New York Post that staff were not sure of his authenticity at first.
They told the newspaper: "The staff at first didn't believe it was Gaga's dad.
"They asked for his credit-card number three times and Googled him before they took his order."
Earlier this year, a Russian billionaire caught the attentions of the press in London when he purchased a vintage bottle of Dom Pirignon for £35,000.
The methusela 1996 Rosi Gold was sold at Polo Bar in Bond Street, with the purchase accompanied by a gratuity exceeding £10,000.
