Some of these stars leave a staggering tip because they can relate to the struggle that the staff might be having, or they are simply in a happy, celebratory mood that day.

AceShowbiz - Charles Barkley is a generous tipper and he knows it. During an interview on late-night show "CONAN" in 2014, the former NBA star claimed to host Conan O'Brien that he once gave a waitress $25,000 tip. "The more successful you are, the more you should tip, I truly believe that. … I never went overboard. I tipped $25,000 before. I won about $700,000 at a blackjack. You have to tip. I probably should have tipped more to be honest with you," he said.
Charles also slammed fellow athletes like Tiger Woods, Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan for being cheap. He shared, "I think that's why [Tiger Woods and Jordan are] rich. They don't tip. That's their secret to being rich, they don't tip."
