Oil Tycoon, Kola Aluko Spent $1.5m on Champagne @ Leo ­DiCaprio’s Birthday Party

The New York Post, a popular US based tabloid has reported how a Nigerian oil, gas and aviation tycoon, Mr Kola Aluko spent about $1.5 million in a few hours at Leonardo DiCaprio’s star-studded birthday bash.

According to nypost.com, 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 wealthy businessman who bought bottle after bottle of champagne at ­DiCaprio’s 39th birthday party at Tao Downtown late Sunday night.

The website reported that other big spenders at the lavish fete included “The Wolf of Wall Street” producer Joey McFarland and Texas businessman Nate Paul.

The report said, Mr Kanye West was paid $100,000 by DiCaprio, personally, to perform.

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 guest told us, “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]. Kola Aluko may have spent up to $1.5 million in one night.”
