Billionaire Fund Manager Lambasts $100+ NYC Hotel Room Service Breakfast, Despite Awareness of Typically High Prices
- Billionaire hedge fund founder Kyle Bass complained on Twitter about an $85 room service breakfast at a NYC hotel, blaming Biden and inflation
- The receipt showed $22 spent on drinks, $38 on food, a $9 service charge, and Bass left a $15 tip, totaling over $100
- Room service tends to be very expensive at luxury hotels due to labor costs; Bass was likely staying at a top NYC hotel
- Prices like these pre-date recent inflation; luxury hotel room service has always been pricey
- Bass expressed outrage after the fact, though he likely saw the prices when ordering; the text suggests he should have expected high prices
