— Businessman Nelson Peltz reportedly threw a bar mitzvah party for his twin sons that cost an estimated $2 million.
Hundreds of guests attended the May 14 bash for Zachary and Gregory Peltz at the Pierre, a luxury hotel on tony Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, the New York Post’s Page Six reported.
Among the activities were stilt walkers, two bands, five singers, a hockey rink, a basketball hoop and video games.
Several photographers and videographers were on hand to capture the action in the hotel ballroom, leading Peltz to say: “At my bar mitzvah there were two pictures taken.”
