look at some of the craziest ways billionaires like to party the billionaire parties that shape conspiracies now and then the super wealthy get together under the most suspicious circumstances in the most clandestine way possible to potentially discuss matters of world shaping proportions and boy are there conspiracy theorists ready to just eat it up one of these conspiracy inducing gatherings is known as bohemian grove a mysterious annual retreat of powerful people in northern california no one truly knows what goes on there but if you were to believe the spokesperson for bohemian grove it's nothing more than
a chance to share a passion for the outdoors music and theater how conveniently not suspicious at all for a couple of weeks every july wealthy leaders businessmen and politicians gather in the woods where they make powerful decisions over copious amounts of alcohol of course the members of this group have been kept private but over the years there have been leaks here and there politicians like george bush junior and senior have been discovered attending the grove and back in the summer of 1968 ronald reagan reportedly agreed not to primary richard nixon as the two mingled there
politicians know all about the grove former president bill clinton once said that's where all those rich republicans go out and stand naked against redwood trees right and we know that world changing events like the early planning for the manhattan project took place at the bohemian grove nothing like the fresh woodsy air to help you plan out weapons of mass destruction i've heard yeah the bohemian grove isn't all camp songs and campfire stories another gathering of the super rich that has inspired several theories was the surrealist ball thrown by the rothschild family a family just dripping
with conspiracy if you haven't heard about the rothschilds let me tell you they are the very definition of old money they are an international banking and finance dynasty with operations all across europe dating all the way back to the mid-18th century with centuries of enormous wealth and political power the conspiracy theories just come naturally it certainly didn't help that in 1972 they decided to throw the most bizarre ball ever recorded the ball was held in the largest and most lapis chateau in all of france the chateau d the entire building was transformed into an interactive
maze but that wasn't nearly creepy enough for the rothschilds the servants and butlers were instructed to pretend to be cats when attending to their guests every need the rooms were filled with gutted and stuffed animals taxidermied and displayed even the plates were covered in animal furs salvador dali probably figured out there would be leaked pictures of the event so he went ahead and designed for the guests some of the freakiest fashion costumes that'll haunt your nightmares with baroness roth's child herself appearing wearing a golden deer's head with tears made of real diamonds a very normal
costume for a very normal party what really went on in this party isn't known as far as we can tell this might have been the only party of its kind thrown by the rothschilds but it probably wasn't throwing crazy parties is half the part of being a billionaire after all billionaire birthday bashes who doesn't love birthdays it's everyone's excuse to party at least once a year after all you do have to celebrate surviving another 365 days one way or another and if there's any group that's perfected the art of the birthday bash it's the uber
wealthy you've probably noticed that billionaire birthday parties tend to make the news now and then that's because they don't sit around having fun emptying a keg of beer with their friends and even if they did they probably did it in the middle of the atlantic ocean case in point billionaire ronald perelman he typically likes to celebrate his birthday parties the traditional way on the coast of the caribbean paradise of saint barts aboard his mammoth 188-foot yacht guests at pearlman's birthday parties are usually other rich and famous people as well so don't bother waiting for that
email some of his guests have included microsoft billionaire paul allen denzel washington and john bon jovi if you want to talk about bringing famous people to party with you though there's no way you can't mention the legendary bash thrown by the mysterious malaysian money man joe lo before he was accused of alleged international money laundering joe lowe used his up to one billion dollars in siphon funds to throw a pretty sick 31st birthday party he built what looked like an aircraft hangar on a vacant plot of land which was in fact staging grounds for an
a-list level party the kind of party where you needed to know someone who knows someone before you could even serve drinks at the party was filled with celebs like kanye west kim kardashian and jamie foxx joe lowe invited a few famous musicians as well he invited korean pop sensation psy to perform gangnam style britney spears to sing happy birthday and leonardo dicaprio to rap hmm truly a man of many hats billionaires don't just throw parties for themselves though sometimes they throw it for future billionaires as well no i'm not talking about you i'm talking about
their children jay-z and beyonce have been throwing absolutely lavish parties for their children starting from the 200 000 birthday extravaganza they threw for blue ivy when she was a one-year-old they even gave her an 800 thousand dollar diamond encrusted barbie as her birthday present a gift she probably didn't appreciate very much you know because she was one billionaire weddings if there's another thing the rich and famous love to do it's throw extraordinary wedding parties they love it so much sometimes they end up getting married multiple times just for that after party back in 2016 russian
billionaire said gutserie got married to khadija utzhakovs and they threw exactly the kind of lavish and outrageous party that'll make for a very awkward divorce son of billionaire oil mogul mikhail gutserief said gutsariev has a net worth of about 1.4 billion dollars and with the help of his father he put together quite the spectacular wedding reported to have cost up to one billion dollars highlights of the moscow wedding include transportation in a fleet of luxury vehicles like rolls royces and bentleys venues covered floor to ceiling and elaborate displays of fresh flowers and a wedding dress
so decked out in glittering diamonds and beads it weighed about 25 pounds even the bride needed some assistance walking of course a-list celebrities were part of the event it wouldn't be a billionaire's party without them guests were entertained by jennifer lopez sting and enrique iglesias to name a few and for dessert they feasted on a nine-tiered wedding cake all in all a pretty typical billionaire wedding if a little more expensive another wedding was that of billionaire napster creator sean parker this time in the united states in the redwoods of big sur california to be exact
this one might not have cost a billion dollars but it was certainly one of the most lavish weddings the us had ever experienced for months construction crews built an artificial pond a bridge rock staircases and fake stone castle ruins all for the few magical hours sean parker would spend getting married to alexandre lanas it was a fantasy themed wedding so costumes that's right costumes had to be designed for all 364 guests and they were all tolkien themed guests included celebs like emma watson and california governor gavin newsom bunnies were even handed out to guests to
cuddle with less cute animals though were barbecued for dinner and animal furs were draped on the chairs and beds everyone wasn't into the whole ecological disregard theme of the wedding attracting heavy criticism towards the newlyweds they were even spat on in the streets all of which prompted sean parker to write an incredibly sincere apology for his 10 million dollar three-day wedding extravaganza billionaire secret parties you're not gonna hear about every billionaire soiree on entertainment news tonight and that's because believe it or not billionaires tend to throw quite a few shady clandestine parties they don't want
you to know about or at the very least don't want you to know what's going on in there one of these shady gatherings of incredibly powerful men is the kappa beta fine dinner a secret gathering of some of the wealthiest and influential men on wall street that holds once a year at the saint regis ballroom in new york city this isn't your regular black tie dinner this gathering was designed to be an ultra-exclusive meeting of the wealthiest men in the financial community it's basically a college fraternity but everyone wears suits and gambles away your life
savings they made fun of the fact that they totally destroyed our economy they made fun of the fact that they got a bailout from the government and u.s taxpayers and they dressed up in dresses and wigs kappa beta phi was founded at the dawn of the great depression and ever since then it's been an avenue for some of the wealthiest people to get together let loose laugh about how much wealthier they are than everyone else and be terrible together according to kevin ruse that is he's a reporter that snuck into the 80th anniversary kappa beta
phi dinner back in 2012. that is before being kicked out by billionaire politician wilbur ross not all secret billionaire parties are about wearing stuffy suits and dinner talk now sometimes they just want to break the law just ask the epstein's when you live in a country like saudi arabia with incredibly strict party laws you're going to want to keep your law-breaking revelry on the hush hush and that's what one saudi prince named faisal did in a kingdom of about 10 000 incredibly wealthy princes faisal is what you'd call a second-tier cadet prince basically he gets
to enjoy the privileges of prince hood without having to worry about doing something boring like being king and boy did he flex those privileges much like his fellow royals he threw an incredibly decadent halloween party details of which were supposed to remain on the down low unfortunately for faisal in a leaked diplomatic cable turns out this party was quite contrary to saudi law and custom there was plenty of alcohol drugs and lots of working girls at this party having the place looking like a scene straight out of a nightclub saudi arabia has prosecuted several people
for drug and alcohol-related offenses but not this time though it's pretty easy to get away with things when you're rich and powerful you gotta wonder why they even throw these parties in secret anymore billionaire sex parties it turns out the movies were right all along rich and powerful people do enjoy their lusty love lounges and depraved alliances but you probably already knew that didn't you the cannes film festival is a lot of things to a lot of people from a celebration of art to a glamorous party but for the hollywood heavyweights and wealthy businessmen from
around the world the cannes film festival is a different kind of party when the night comes rolling around the parties here are the kind of crazy you'd call unrealistic in an x-rated movie hundreds of working girls flock to the festival to ply their trade i'm talking high-end call girls capable of making up to forty thousand dollars a night according to a lebanese businessman who described the scene to the hollywood reporter you can find about 30 or 40 luxury yachts parked in the bay during the festival each year each boat filled with women drugs and alcohol
let's just say that sleeping is not a priority and can and apparently all of this has been going on right under our noses for the past 60 years but honestly can we really blame them with a ticket price of 22 500 for the festival we gotta get a little something some another billionaire that really understood the virtue of the pleasure party is broadcom founder henry nicholas he figured why wait a few months for the next sex soiree when he could just throw his own whenever he wanted so he turned a warehouse in california into his
very own never-ending adult fantasy room very christian gray style except less bondage and more drugs his pleasure pad was reportedly stocked with all sorts of inebriates like cocaine meth and ecstasy as well as a constant rotation of well-compensated ladies creating the ultimate shy glare for him and his friends henry nicholas was so proud of his creation that he allegedly hired a construction crew to connect the place to his home through underground passageways eventually though nicholas was arrested and charged with five counts of drug trafficking but come on the man has a net worth of 6.3
billion dollars so of course he managed to spend no jail time for his alleged crimes so what do you think about these billionaire parties any one of them you wish you could attend if you want to know a little bit more about what billionaires do with their money click on the video on the screen and check out how billionaires kids like to spend their parents money see you there
