Mysterious Rich Malaysian Partying Like Rich Russian

110909usher.jpg There is a geeky-looking rich guy from Malaysia who has developed quite the reputation for running up huge tabs at douchey NYC clubs, as well as flying Megan Fox to party with him "and his entourage" in Las Vegas, and sending 23 bottles of Cristal to Lindsay Lohan at 1OAK. Heads up gold diggers: his name is Taek Jho Low, and he's residing at the Park Imperial, where his profligacy is so extreme residents wish they had a rapper in the building instead. One neighbor tells the Post, "It used to be that when you saw the Cadillac Escalades outside, you knew Sean [Combs] was in town. Now it's this guy."

The article also says the dude's tab was picked up by some Kuwaiti pal.

There's also a quote in there that says it all,"Nobody spends their own money like that. It's just weird."

So, of course, the best thing to do is to give him the attention he so craves. In a city full of rich assholes, one more is hardly noticeable.

Let him spend his money. You don't see the clubs or hotels complaining. And we all know most women will wax his nob to get a piece.

More power to him.

this story has "amateur hour" written all over it.

So the Malaysian Bernie Madoff has arrived here on U.S. soil?

He rejects Allah. Stone him.

This is what happens when they run out of KY in KL.

Watch. He'll skip out on his bills.

He looks sort of like Hiro from Heroes. I guess you can make big bucks by going into the future and finding out the outcomes of sporting events with long gambling odds.

Great, let him blow as much money as he wants around town. We can use it.
