Inside billionaire’s notorious celeb-filled ‘White Party’
Stars descended on this billionaire’s Hampton’s estate for what’s become an annual fixture: His wild Fourth of July White Party.
Sports merchandise billionaire Michael Rubin’s Fourth of July White Party is, at this point, an annual fixture: Each year, the mogul plays host to a guest list of rappers, models and athletes at his sprawling Hamptons estate.
Then, everyone in attendance posts 700 photos each to Instagram, just so the rest of us can be sure they all had a really, really good time.
This year’s event, held at the Fanatics CEO’s $US50 million ($A74 million) beachside Bridgehampton mansion, attracted everyone from musical A-list rappers Drake, Lil Wayne and Megan Thee Stallion, several Kardashians, models like Winnie Harlow and Emily Ratajkowski, and sporting stars like Tom Brady and Jake Paul.
Enough talk – we’re all here to gawk at how the 1% party:
While he managed to make an appearance in almost every celeb photo taken on the night, party host Rubin also shared a kiss with his girlfriend, model Camille Fishel, as Fourth of July fireworks went off behind them:
Rapper Drake has recently weathered a bruising rap battle with fellow hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar, and it appears fans think it’s taken a toll: Rubin’s Instagram post was flooded with commenters remarking the top rapper looked more tired and drawn than usual in one particular photo.
“Drake aged like 20 years since the beef,” was one top comment.
“Drake look like he been through the ringer,” wrote another, while one person asked “why Drake look so old though?”
As glitzy as this year’s party was, it’s fair to say Rubin’s 2023 Fourth of July soiree had even more star power: Last year’s guest list included Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Beyonce and Jay-Z plus Leonardo DiCaprio.
Rubin made his money as the CEO of US manufacturer and online sports memorabilia retailer Fanatics, which also has an NFT, sports betting, and iGaming branch.
He has an estimated fortune of more than $A17 billion, making him one of the richest men in America.
