Jacob the Jeweler's company, which has adorned everyone from Madonna to Kanye, is suing Wyclef Jean because the recording artist never paid for his jewels. Newsday reports that Jacob & Co. Inc. filed papers in a Manhattan court yesterday claiming "the hip hop musician bought several items between March 2002 and January 2006 for $765,100" and "still owes $319,680 despite repeated demands for payment." Meanwhile, Jacob Arabov, the man behind the bling, was sentenced to over two years in federal prison last month for lying to investigators about his business transactions with a multistate crime ring. Last year Harry Winston learned that if a celeb "borrows" some jewelry it's as good as gone.

Customer service for high-end customers is the absolute pits, because you have to put up with their self indulgent requests. You need an iron stomach to work for these rich bitches.
Rich people think their special and everyone under them should bow down to them.
What's with all these deadbeat rap artists? Is there a bigger story here, or are they just cheap?
@ Nannystate, A skell with money is still a skell.
Just look at that doorman who just got fired.
People don't want to give up their money in the City, even if they buy services or goods they will hold off payments as long as possible.
It seems crazy but a lot of business function this way in New York.
Celebrities are the worst. They expect to be comped for everything and MANY of them never carry ANY cash on them.
Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of "normal", down-to-earth celebrities out there. But those notorious for their egos often expect to not have to pay a dime for anything and many times they get exactly that.
I think it's so ironic that those most likely to be able to afford to pay for things are the ones most likely to get things for free. So gross.
