Mark Zuckerberg’s latest status update should read: “cheapskate.”
The Facebook CEO, who’s worth billions, couldn’t spare a lousy eight bucks to tip a waiter at a Rome restaurant after a honeymoon nosh with his new wife.
Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan lunched on fried zucchini blossoms and a plate of sea bass and tomato ravioli at Nonna Betta, running up a tab of 32 euros — about $40.
But when the tight-fisted techie settled up, he stiffed the waiter — leaving him exactly zero percent.
Owner Umberto Pavoncello diplomatically defended Zuckerberg, 28, claiming the social-media guru and his wife, 27, were in a hurry, and could have forgotten the gratuity.
“They were really in love, eating from the same plate of ravioli,” he gushed to Italian media.
And despite the shabby way the Zuckerbergs treated his help, he may immortalize their menu choice by renaming it in their honor.
“I am seriously considering renaming the fiori di zucca — deep-fried courgette flowers — on the menu as fiori di Zuckerberg,” Pavoncello said.
It wasn’t the first time the couple took the cheap way out — they were spotted eating takeout from a McDonald’s in Rome just days earlier.
And while the penny-pinching geek saved a few bucks on the meals, he reportedly dug deep for other parts of the romantic getaway.
