In another reminder why most of the population is increasingly furious at the “elites”, over the holiday weekend a 31-year-old portfolio manager for Moore Capital, Brett Barna, threw a wild “Wolf of Wall Street”-style Hamptons party, complete with Champagne, scores of bikini-clad women and costumed gun-toting midgets, and in the process trashed a $20 million mansion.
According to Page Six, Barna, “a portfolio manager at Louis Bacon’s Moore Capital Management, hosted the all-day “#Sprayathon” pool party on Sunday, where 1,000 people doused themselves in bubbly as rapper Ace Hood performed.”
Making things more complicated is that Barna is not the owner of the 9-bedroom, 8 acre Hamptons mansion which “comes with tennis court, gym, outdoor pool & jacuzzi” where he celebrated US Independence Day in decadent style, and instead rented it from “Tommy” for $29,000 on AirBNB, a fee he is now disputing.
And now Tommy is angry: “the furious owner of the 14-bedroom estate in Bridgehampton plans to sue Barna, 31, for $1 million, saying the Wall Street hot shot had claimed the party would be a fundraiser for an animal charity for a mere 50 guests.”
The owner, who asked to not be named, told Page Six that , “Brett came to me dropping Louis Bacon’s name and saying he was a big deal with the Robin Hood Foundation. He said there would be 50 people at the event and it was for animal rescue. But the only animals there were the people, a thousand of them. They drowned themselves in Champagne, they had midgets they threw in the pool, they broke into the house, trashed the furniture, art was stolen, we found used condoms. So many people were there that the concrete around the pool crumbled and fell into the water. It was like ‘Jersey Shore’ meets a frat party. We are preparing a massive lawsuit . . . We’re waiting to serve him.”
“Brett was last seen on Sunday chugging Champagne with two midgets.”
Wild social media posts show partygoers dousing themselves in booze and dancing wildly.
The videos and photos below, capturing the festivities, will surely be Exhibit A-X in the upcoming lawsuit.
According to the publication, this is an annual bacchanal: Last year #Sprayathon revelers started a brush fire at a Hamptons manse owned by “Hercules” actor Kevin Sorbo.
Page Six adds that a rep for the embarrassed hedge fund didn’t comment, but a source said Moore raised $100,000 for Last Chance Animal Rescue, and they hired cleaners and left the house in good condition.
As CNBC adds this morning, Moore Capital said it has fired Barna. “Mr. [Brett] Barna’s personal judgment was inconsistent with the firm’s values,” the company told CNBC in a statement.
“He is no longer employed by Moore Capital Management.”
” Moore raised $100,000 for Last Chance Animal Rescue, ”
Ha! You sure there wasn’t a little cat juggling going on there, Brett? Come now, hoser. Fess up.
I never seem to get invited to parties like this, sigh.
Someone involved with a hedge fund lied to someone about something? I’m sure this is the first time that has ever happened.
I’m shocked.
I guess it’s rough all over.
I’m pretty confident that if I had the funds to own a place like that, I wouldn’t have issues with feral yutes trashing the place.
No shit throwing monkeys were there?
Couldnt have been much of a party then…
Raising 100 Grand by spending several 100 more and now that poor fellow is out of work. What a fuckin’ tragedy. Sad part is he shouldn’t be out of work long. Some other hedge fund will pick him up. Failing that he can always go work for government. Spending money like he would be welcomed with open arms.
What I find most sad is the contempt for waste of money. This was just a keg party writ large. A giant middle finger to us lowlifes, working 9 to 5, week in, week out.
Last weekend I was on boat in Chester Basin with some friends. We toured the Islands and viewed the mansions from the bay. One of those houses sat at a point facing the only uninhabited island in bay with no trees on it. Seemed odd to me. Turns out the folks in house didn’t like the view. So the guy bought island and cut all the trees down. Not a stick left. Gives whole new meaning to million dollar view. This guy spent his “fuck it” money on an island instead of party. It would hardly surprise me if it turned out he was a “greenie” who made his fortune selling windwills to save the world. But at least as far as I know no midgets were flung in the ocean. Too cold to swim there anyways. The guy had at least a modicum of class to realize that would be cruel.
Must have been one badly-built pool for the concrete to crumble under the weight of the crowd.
But it’s mostly just disgusting. There was a time, within my lifetime though it is long past now, when being upper class meant not only possessing exceptional wealth, but living as an example of good behavior in every other respect. You were expected to be an example of civility, restraint, refinement, high style, and discretion. Bragging about your wealth was considered to be unseemly, and so was over-the-top ostentation, as in yachts that cost $200M and multiple houses bigger than the palace of Versailles. The grand 25,000 sq ft limestone mansions of the previous Gilded Age were considered to be excessive, and the other accoutrements of wealth, like yachts and second homes, were relatively modest. You employed one or two servants, not a platoon of them. And you practiced charity without making a big deal of it, it was just expected of you.
Now we’re a nation of vulgarians top to bottom, and the hot new rich lead the country in vulgarity, crassness, and scummy behavior.
He said there would be 50 people at the event and it was for animal rescue. But the only animals there were the people, a thousand of them. They drowned themselves in Champagne, they had midgets they threw in the pool, they broke into the house, trashed the furniture, art was stolen, we found used condoms. NOW THAT’S REALLY SOUND FUNNY. lmao..haha
