Billionaire Blasted For Complaining About $85 Room Service Bill: 'Lazy Drama Queen'

The lifestyles of the rich and famous became hotly debated online after billionaire hedge fund tycoon Kyle Bass shared his woes online about his breakfast bill.

The billionaire investor and founder of Hayman Capital Management had posted a picture online of his breakfast bill and shared his financial heartburn with his followers, blaming U.S. President Joe Biden and inflation for the $85 he had to part ways with for some waffles, “heritage” bacon, orange juice and diet Coke.

“Terrible Inflation milestone reached - My first $85 breakfast for one at a NYC hotel. After signing this bill, I have decided NEVER AGAIN,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Although Kyle did not reveal the name of the hotel, internet users did some Sherlock-ing of their own and pointed out that his bill may have possibly come from The Carlyle, a swanky Manhattan hotel that has had names like Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, and Steve Jobs on the guest list.

“Items on this receipt match the menu for room service at the Carlyle Hotel, a 5-star hotel where the lowest rate on their website ranges from $954 (including a $35 breakfast coupon) to $6,244 after fees for a room tonight,” read a community note that Kyle’s tweet is now tailed with.

Twitter users went into a frenzy over Kyle choosing to live a high-flying life and still complaining about his morning meal.

“You ordered room service in a 5 ⭐️ Manhattan hotel. What were you expecting? Poor guy. I bet that broke the bank paying the $10 to have someone bring your food to you in bed,” one user wrote.

Another said, “Dude, it's room service in a Manhattan hotel. You know that you're paying for the privilege of not going outside and finding a considerably less expensive food truck on the nearest corner. Elitist.”

“You’re in New York City, get a bagel sandwich for $5,” one wrote while another added, “Maybe next time get breakfast on the street the way all the other billionaires do..”

“It’s a hotel. It’s room service. You are a lazy drama Queen. Stay at hotels that give breakfast for free or go to a restaurant,” one suggested. “Your privileges are showing.”

The Twitter thread was also peppered with Kyle’s replies to some of the comments. In one of his replies, he defended himself by saying he grew up in a lower middle class family and "appreciates each meal to this day."

“I did send this earlier this morning to revolt against the craziness of hotel food pricing in NYC. I ordered without having a menu (while on a call) and was appalled when the bill came. I grew up lower middle class…graduated college dirt poor…and appreciate each meal to this day. The hate here was unexpected,” Kyle said in his defense. “Many of the accounts are Chinese disinformation accounts that smelled blood in the water. One tweet reply sent from my account was a fraud. I appreciate your comment.”
