CBS President Les Moonves Stiffs His Valet Because He Only Has $100 Bills

CBS Corporation president and CEO Les Moonves, one of the world's highest-paid executives, was recently caught on camera not tipping his parking valet because he only had $100 bills on hand.

In a clip recorded as Moonves was leaving a party last week in the ritzy Bel Air section of Los Angeles, the CBS exec pulls out his wallet to tip the attendant, but looks at his cash and says, "Sh*t, I only have hundred dollar bills.” After a pause, the valet driver says something inaudible to Moonves and pats him on the back. Moonves responds, “I’ll get you next time. Cheers.”

The footage was captured and shared by celebrity news site Leave My Name Out on Thursday but gained attention Monday after Gawker and Page Six caught wind of the blunder.

Moonves raked in $66.9 million in 2013, making him the highest paid CEO in American media and one of the world's best-paid executives in any industry that year, The Hollywood Reporter wrote.

Every one in a while, overtip. It doesn't have to be for outstanding service, just not deficient service. It doesn't have to be a huge tip, just respectfully more than you would normally leave. If you can slip out before the person knows how much you've tipped, all the better.

The feeling you will have will be amazing. Enjoy.

I hope his car breaks down in the middle of no where and he can't get roadside service. Let the coyotes take care of him.
