People couldn't believe how much money people were willing to spend at the Dubai restaurant owned by Nusret Gökçe, AKA Salt Bae.

Internet sensation and chef Nusret Gökçe, best known as Salt Bae, has left the internet in shock after sharing a patron's receipt from a meal at one of his restaurants.

The check, racked up at his Nusr-Et Steakhouse Dubai at the Four Seasons resort in Dubai, costs more than some people's homes: a staggering $108,000.


People online have been astonished by the bill—and not in the good way.

Along with the caption "money comes money goes," Salt Bae showed a photo of the customers' receipt, which showed seemingly gazillions of items at truly astonishing prices.

There's a $270 filet mignon, three $1700 steaks and two bottles of champagne at $27,000 each, just for starters.

There were also nearly $25,000 in tips included, so at least whatever person with more money than sense who racked up this bill had it in them to take care of the staff.

But while Salt Bae, ever the showman, seemed to think the receipt would leave people impressed, it seems to have had the opposite effect.

People on social media were instead kind of disgusted by the absurd wealth and consumerism the receipt reflects.


Though some people couldn't help but respect Salt Bae's hustle.



But others pointed out another layer to the story: Salt Bae's food is pretty widely known to be... well, not very good.

His restaurant empire has been plagued with financial problems, and some of his restaurants have faced closures, including his infamous New York burger restaurant once deemed "the worst restaurant in New York."

There's no better place than Dubai to get the more-money-than-sense crowd to part with their gazillions. Let it never be said that Salt Bae isn't resourceful!

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
