From Divorce Settlements to Bottomless Mimosas: Where You Could Brunch on $50K a Month

It’s not every day that divorce settlements spark brunch inspiration, but when Tyreek Hill’s split made headlines for monthly support payments as high as $50,000, we had one thought: how many brunches could you have with that kind of budget?

Spoiler: a lot. Whether you’re keeping it stateside with rooftop vibes or hopping a plane for champagne towers abroad, $20K–$50K a month opens up a brunch world most of us only daydream about. While the real-life context here isn’t lighthearted, those numbers ignite a creative fantasy: how many brunches could you actually enjoy with that kind of monthly budget?

The $20K Brunch Budget: U.S. Hot Spots

Twenty thousand dollars a month might sound like a wild number, but when you think about the cost of luxury brunches in the U.S., it adds up quickly. Imagine waking up each weekend and knowing you could book the best table in town without even glancing at the price tag. Whether it’s skyline views, beachfront vibes, or Vegas glitz, $20K is more than enough to create brunch memories every single weekend.

• New York City Rooftops – At $150+ a head, you and 100 friends could sip mimosas under the skyline.

• Miami Beachfront – Tyreek’s own backyard is filled with luxe brunch spots offering seafood towers, champagne carts, and DJs spinning by the pool.

• Las Vegas Champagne Brunches – Think bottomless Dom Pérignon, buffet spreads that feel endless, and entertainment rolled right in.

  
  

With $20K to play with, you could easily host four over-the-top brunch parties every weekend — or keep it low-key and stretch that money across months of casual bites.

The $50K Brunch Budget: International Edition

Now let’s take things global. With $50,000 in your brunch pocket every month, the possibilities stretch far beyond local hotspots. This budget means first-class flights, five-star hotels, and once-in-a-lifetime dining experiences that people plan their vacations around. For someone with an unlimited taste for adventure, this is the kind of money that turns brunch into a passport stamp collection.

• Paris – Hôtel Plaza Athénée: Croissants, caviar, and champagne in a dining room dripping with chandeliers.

• Dubai – Sky-High Champagne Brunches: Known for extravagant spreads where $700+ per person is the baseline.

• Tokyo – Michelin-Star Fusion Brunch: Modern Japanese meets Western flavors with curated tasting menus.

  
  

For $50K, you could easily book the trip, the stay, and the table — then do it all over again next month.

How Many Brunches Could You Actually Have?

Sometimes it helps to think of the big number in everyday terms. A $50,000 monthly budget could cover 500 brunches priced at $100 each. That’s brunch every single day with friends for more than a year. Or, if you prefer to go all out, you could throw one mega-brunch party every weekend — think décor, DJs, a private chef, and signature cocktails flowing nonstop. Instead of just dining, it becomes an experience you could brand as its own social event series. The math shows that even when you stretch it in different ways, $50K translates to endless opportunities to gather and toast.

Brunch Lifestyle on Any Budget

Of course, most of us don’t have an NFL-sized settlement to work with — and that’s the beauty of brunch. It’s not about how much you spend, but about who you share the table with. A $50 neighborhood brunch can carry the same joy as a $500 Parisian one when the vibe is right. What matters most is carving out that time for connection, laughter, and maybe a mimosa or two. Whether your brunch budget is modest or massive, the ritual is what keeps us coming back. Need a crew to enjoy brunch with? Check out one of our chapters near you to enjoy your next brunch.
