However, we did not know just how much he splurge on these parties...until now!

Party like there's no tomorrow

A court in Brooklyn, New York heard that the 40-year-old financier splurged millions of dollars he allegedly siphoned off the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) fund on celebrity fees and alcohol.

According to a report by Bloomberg, former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker Roger Ng revealed the stunning details of Low's spendings at his federal conspiracy trial on Tuesday (15 February).

Ng is accused of conspiring with former Goldman banker Tim Leissner to help Low steal the funds in exchange for kickbacks.

The members of the jury were presented with invoices from a Las Vegas party for Low in which food, beverages, "talent" and "top quality models" added up to more than USD3.6 million (RM15 million).

Low also reportedly spent USD100,000 (RM418,000) on 65 bottles of Cristal Champagne, plus a very generous tip of USD38,955 (RM163,026).

Boy, that's a lot of money.

On top of that, Low would also pay top dollar to Hollywood celebrities for them to appear at his parties, the jury heard.

Here's the breakdown of the celebrity fees paid by Low:

• Leonardo DiCaprio: USD250,000 (RM1 million)
• Paris Hilton: USD100,000 (RM418,000)
• Megan Fox: USD250,000 (RM1 million)
• Kim Kardashian: USD50,000 (RM209,000)

Alex Cohen, the chief financial officer of entertainment and marketing company Strategic Group that arranged parties for the Malaysian financier, testified that Low paid his company USD5,000 (RM20,000) for 'model wrangling' (or, in layman's term, procuring woman for parties) alone.

Cohen further revealed that Low provided Strategic Group with at least 25 per cent of its profit in 2012.

The court was also presented with a contract for A-lister DiCaprio, who was flown in with an "exclusive private plane" to celebrate Low's birthday at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas back in November 2009.

According to the documents, the 47-year-old actor was paid USD150,000 (RM627,000) for attending the party and a dinner, as well as "private gambling activities".

A big paycheck for just a couple hours of work? No wonder some Hollywood celebs are throwing themselves at Low.
