      She has a reputation for sharing the wealth, tipping wait staff with $100 bills, and giving the truck drivers for her tour $100,000 bonuses.

        The generosity of a $100 tip entirely depends on context. Waffle House? Yeah, it’s generous.

        But there are plenty of high end places where plates cost $400 each, the wine can easily be $5000 per bottle, and a $100 tip wouldn’t even cover the wait staff’s tip-out at the end of the night. I have 100% seen billionaire propaganda about “Mark Cuban tips waiter $1500, look how generous he is” when it was just a standard 15% tip on a $10k bill.
