She told Vice: “He would step into the hotel lobby with over two dozen security guards surrounding him, and start crawling and growling on the floor like an animal.

“He would even ask some of his guards to do the same.

“He enacted this animal ritual every night in the lobby for nearly a month in front of other visitors who’d silently witness the sheer horror of it all.”

Willie, who works as an office manager, revealed the odd antics of a man who was in the “top 500 richest” in the world.

It happened after his stock plunged to a “record-breaking low” one day he was at the hotel.

Willie said: “That night, he wanted to sleep on the table of the restaurant and asked for around 20 cooked lobsters to be laid out across his body.”

“As if this wasn’t weird enough, he asked the hotel staff to empty three Italian red wine bottles in an ice bucket.”

“He dipped his shirt in that bucket and kept wiping his face for the next few hours with that thousand dollar wine-soaked shirt.”

Other strange requests include having “food served inside a special guitar” from a millionaire in China, while another man wanted to have a horse with him during his entire wedding, and “wanted to be on or around it always, even in the lobby”.

A billionaire sheik even “asked for two floors to be completely cordoned off from any visitors, except the female hotel staff”.
