Hey, Big Spender! Celeb Parents Who Tip Well (Photos)
President Obama, Tipper-in-Chief
Plenty of people may find fault with President Barack Obama‘s economic policies, but not when it comes to his own personal spending habits!
According to a new story on celebrities who tip generously, the President has a rep for plunking down large gratuities when he dines out, even when the bill isn’t that big. He once left an $18 tip for a $2 beer in a North Carolina pub, and an impressive $200 tip for a modest burger lunch.
Not only is that kind of thoughtfulness appreciated by servers – who rely on their tips as part of their salary – it’s also a great lesson on generosity for the dad of Sasha and Malia to teach his children.
But the First Dad isn’t the only famous parent who sets a good example. Here are just a few others who are known around the restaurant world for giving props (and lots of $) for good service.

Guess it stands to reason that a dad who rents a $2,000-a-day birthing suite and showers gorgeous jewelry on his wife and daughter would share the wealth with others, too. To celebrate the release of his album last year, he hosted a party featuring $250,000 worth of champagne - and tipped $50,000. Wouldn't you have loved to be the waiters that night?
