Luxury: Burj al Arab Hotel from the Madinat Jumeirah
Complex
Impressive: The Burj Al-Arab Hotel is the tallest hotel
in the world, measuring 321 m high
The vintage champagne cost £36
a glass. Her mojito cocktails were £17. Even his chicken nuggets
and chips were £25 a portion.
But for Britain's highest-paid
footballer and his wife, this is the sort of luxury that can be
taken for granted.
Lazing by the pool in a
seven-star Dubai hotel, the couple's £250 snack bill will barely
even dent Wayne Rooney's new £28,571-a-day wage
packet.
Rift: Hotel guests have claimed that the couple kept
their distances after a heated argument last night in an upmarket
restaurant at the Atlantis Resort
In fact, seeing as he earns
about £1,190 an hour, the 25-year-old actually ended lunch richer
than he was when he started.
The England striker relaxed in
the 34C heat at the Burj Al Arab hotel just hours after his
teammates had struggled to beat Stoke City on a biting cold day in
England.
He had been given time off
following his lengthy contract negotiations, which finally ended
last week.
Another drink? The couple didn't hesitate racking up a
tab with beverages and snacks
Rooney, who initially
threatened to walk out of Manchester United, eventually changed his
mind last week when the club offered him a new deal worth £200,000
a week or £10.4million a year.
And after it was agreed, he
was given permission to go on holiday to celebrate his birthday on
Sunday and to recover from an injured ankle.
He and his wife, who had left
their young son with relatives and fled his own planned birthday
party to go away, enjoyed their break in a style to which they can
afford to become accustomed.
Next please: She followed with a refreshing mojito
High life: Mrs Rooney looks content with life as she
chats to a female hotel guest by the pool
Cool off: Wayne and Coleen spent quality time in the
water
Arriving at the poolside at
midday, Mrs Rooney, 24, ordered two £17 mojitos and a £25 chicken
and veal club sandwich.
Her husband joined her and
ordered nuggets and chips. Then the couple shared another portion
of chips at £8.
They also drank eight bottles
of Corona beer, costing £72 and two glasses of Louis Roederer
Brut2003 champagne at £72. The pair, who have been staying in a
£2,000-a-night suite, finally disappeared inside at 4pm.
