Chefs to Prepare Gourmet Feast for Millionaires at the Pyramids in Egypt

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) – From the creators of the $25,000 dinner, there’s another pricey gourmet feast on the horizon.
Wealthy foodies can mark their calendars for Dec. 12, 2008, when top chefs from around the world will be flown to Egypt to cook a dinner in front of the ancient Pyramids of Giza, organizer Deepak Ohri said Monday.

This dinner will be a bargain, at least compared to the one in Bangkok last month that was billed as the meal of a lifetime and cooked by six 3-star Michelin chefs for** $25,000 a head**. High-rolling food lovers flew in from the United States, Europe, the Middle East and across Asia for the 40-seat dinner.
The price for dining beside the pyramids has not yet been set, but it will cost less than $10,000 per person, said Ohri, the managing director of Bangkok’s luxury Lebua hotel

Those who are wealthy need these kinda ocasion to spend.

It happens all the time… on the other hand We have bill & Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett doing good work and giving billions of dollars in charity.

We should look at the brighter side of the picture too.

Re: The stupidest thing I ever heard...

Why spend money on something that you can't even retain for more than 4 hours

Re: The stupidest thing I ever heard...

Prestige and a sense of materialistic satisfaction at being able to afford a one time 25K dinner...

Re: The stupidest thing I ever heard...

$25k for head is more then I would pay.
