After selling Newcastle United for £300 million to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Mike Ashley celebrated in a Soho pub, tipping a barmaid £5.
The British billionaire was joined by five pals for the five-hour drinking session at the Kings Arms pub in Soho.
Ashley was in high spirits after finalising the sale of the Geordie club to the Saudi consortium, bringing his controversial 14-year ownership to an end.
