Episcopal priest hits the nightclub scene
Okay, he his not actively in ministry, but quite a story none the less. From The New York Daily News…
He shows up at the hottest clubs in the wee hours and spends thousands on top-shelf liquors, doling out five-figure tips like silver dollars.
He’ll send bottles of Dom Perignon to tables around him on a whim, or take a waitress out on the town for a shopping spree.
His name isn’t Diddy. He doesn’t show up in the gossip columns or the Fortune 500. He’s not even a celebrity at all.
The mystery man whose bottomless pockets have made him a legend in clubland is a young Episcopal priest from northeastern Pennsylvania. (Source)
Turns out he, Father Gregory Malia, has made a bunch of money selling health products through a specialty pharmacy dedicated to blood disorders that he owns. Here is an example of his nights on the town.
One time, Malia – a divorced father of two – visited one downtown club and bought the most expensive bottle on the menu, which goes for $35,000.
“The included tip was $7,000 and he tipped an extra $10,000,” a staffer said. “A bad night for him is $5,000.”
Quite a contrast to my nights on the town…the Cinema Saver in Fort Collins (2 dollars before 6pm!) and a coffee. What do your nights on the town look like? Anything like Father Greg?
