Kylie Jenner is infamous for not walking the walking after talking, well, you know how the saying goes. Though many may think of the Kardashians as philanthropists, Kylie is stingy with her staff. “As a server, that story about Kylie Jenner apparently spending around $500 on a meal and only tipping $20 still lives rent-free in my head.”

2.  Summer Walker

At one point, singer Summer Walker was offering a position as her personal assistant, but the pay was not up to par with the responsibilities of a celebrity’s functionary. The additional stress and magnitude of duties alone negate the $2k per month salary.

3.  Grace Gummer

Many people mentioned Meryl Streep’s children throughout the list, but the one said the most was Grace Gummer. “I heard Grace Gummer makes the help cry.” One posted, “I feel like it’s telling about a person who is rude to service workers and support staff.”

Despite Linda McCartney’s reputation as extremely pleasant, Paul McCartney is known for being quiet and a horrible tipper. One couple met the McCartneys on vacation in 1989.

The couple remembered the famous pair spending hundreds of dollars a round on the best tequila at the bar because they were on their honeymoon. The couple looked at the receipt and noticed he “didn’t bother to tip the actual servers!”

6.  Michael Jordan

A former Las Vegas casino employee spoke about how Michael Jordan was the talk of the town because he was “very difficult around Vegas. Jordan was moody, entitled, and unpleasant to the casino and hotel staff.”

 

Another Vegas employee chronicled a time when the G.O.A.T. of hockey, Wayne Gretzky, had to put the G.O.A.T. of basketball in his place because of an unacceptable tip.

7.  Scottie Pippen

In 2004, Scottie Pippen was on a date at a high-end New York City restaurant connected to this equally high-end hotel. Pippen tipped $28 on a $350 bill, and when asked about their experience, “he and his date had no complaints about the food,” which makes one wonder, why such a minuscule tip?

8.  Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez has been seen on several occasions taking back a tip left by her husband, Ben Affleck, if she feels it is too big. Others have confirmed this with sightings of the celebrity couple in the big Vegas casinos. “I guess that was before Ben got in trouble for counting cards,” somebody joked.
