34 notoriously bad celebrity tippers
- Madonna - Doesn’t always leave a tip, when she does it’s a cheap one.
- Kelly Preston – Notoriously bad tipper. Most of the time she doesn’t leave a tip at all.
- Gwyneth Paltrow – Doesn’t leave a decent tip. It’s speculated she has trouble calculating the proper percentage.
- Barbra Streisand – Doesn’t always tip. When she
does it’s $10 for a bill of over $450. She’s very high maintenance and
demanding and no one ever wants to wait on her. - Tobey Maguire – Doesn’t always leave a tip, and when he does it isn’t generous.
- Bill Cosby – Once left a $3 tip on a $350 order. He probably thinks the waitstaff needs to stop taking from others and get a real job.
- Ricki Lake – Once left a tip of $8.00 on a $142.44
bill. This after she let her young son run around the restaurant
unattended – and he supposedly made a big mess. - Bobby Brown – Rude to wait staff, lets his kids run amuk and left a $10 gratuity on a $250 restaurant tab.
- Sean Penn - He and three others had New Orleans
waiters waiting on them hand and foot. The tip left on a $450 tab?
Absolutely nothing. There are lots of instances of Sean Penn stiffing
waitstaff. How many people do you think have spit in his food by now? - Kirsten Dunst – According to one server she’s whiny and smells bad. Left nothing behind after racking up a $223 bill.

early. - Marty Stuart – Leaves 7% – his wife is very demanding.
- Don Henley – Very demanding, keeps staff members on their toes, tips 15%.

should have been over $500, mind you, but the r&b; singer and his
entourage nagged until they got a discount. - Mariah Carey – Once had her people call ahead to a
restaurant to let them know she was arriving with a very large party.

one left a tip. - Marion Jones – Left $3 on a $45 tab.
Britney Spears – Once tipped a valet by dropping change on the ground and telling him “there’s your tip”. Also paid a $26 tip on a $500 tab.
