The video shows the vendor quietly serving the drink
And with no visible reaction to the unusually generous tip. While the location wasn’t revealed and the clip didn’t go viral, it still got people talking. The customer’s Instagram bio claims he’s the youngest self-made billionaire in Dubai. So, this may explain the ease with which he dropped a grand on a cuppa.
The gesture wasn’t loud or attention-seeking
But it stood out as a low-key flex that left an impression. Moreover, this moment shows the deep-rooted love for Karak in the UAE. Not just as a drink, but as a cultural staple that brings people together. And in this case, it also came with a side of unexpected generosity.
