Shamed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is still living the high life despite being ordered to pay out almost $50 million to families of the Sandy Hook shooting.
The Infowars host proved he isn't ready to pare back his expensive tastes just because his company has filed for bankruptcy and he claims he is broke.
Jones, 48, spent the weekend in Omaha, Nebraska, hometown of his wife Erika Wulff Jones's family.

The couple married in 2017. Erika is Jones's second wife and they have child. He has three children with his first wife Kelly
The couple stayed at the 1920s-built four-star Kimpton Cottonwood hotel, where they regularly spend time when in the area.
And he didn't cut corners, using a driver to get around town and flashing a Rolex watch on his wrist.
'When he's here he always hires a driver and bodyguard. This time is no different,' one source told DailyMail.com.
On Saturday he, his wife and four friends ate in the pricey 801 Chophouse restaurant downtown, where the least expensive steak on the menu – a single cut prime rib roast – costs $61 while a one-pound A5 Wagyu steak will set you back $560.
A meal there can easily come to $200 per person, not including wine or other alcohol. Scalloped potatoes go for $18 while baked cream spinach costs $15 and a basic wedge salad costs $17.
At one point Jones and Erika, 43, left the restaurant so he could have a cigarette. Casually dressed in jeans and a black t-shirt, he appeared to be comforting his wife of five years, placing his left hand on her right shoulder. At one point he grasped her with both hands for a full body hug, lovingly putting his right hand behind her head, as he rested her head on his shoulder.
The loving scene was far removed from how the couple, who married in 2017, were acting around Christmas.She spent the holiday in jail after being arrested after she attacked him at their home in Austin.

The Cottonwood Hotel, which dates back to the 1920s describes itself as 'genteel.' Its website says: 'We look to our rich heritage to inspire our fresh approach to modern hospitality with a hearty dose of Midwestern charm'
The menu at the 801 Chophouse boasts a $135, 30oz porterhouse steak, hash browns at $15 and an iceberg wedge salad at $17
'I love my wife and care about her and it appears to be some kind of medication imbalance,' Jones said at the time.
'It's a private family matter,' he added.
But he told police he 'feared for his life' when she hit him more than 20 times with closed fists, an open hand and a soap bottle
He also claimed she had thrown a five-pound stone ball at his head, missing him by inches.
When he made a 911 call he told the dispatcher Erika had struck him over the head repeatedly and was 'holding a polished club in her hand' and attempting to 'hit him with it.'
The battle was over her claims that he had cheated on her.
