Question for international buyers that got stuck with the tab....

what was the largest bill you had to cover? Interesting thing was my manager didn't want to get tagged...but he could cover for me. I paid a $5500 dinner/bar/entertainment bill in China back in the 90's. I was totally on getting reimbursed for that one....

I was on the hook for 12 people for 10 nights at a Marriott at $299 a night. With taxes it was about $39000. I had the block and they would not let me assign the rooms.
