The 5th Annual Bridgehampton Benefit: “Operation Rise-Up”, which served as The Official Carlos Beltran Retirement Party, was held at Southampton Arts Center. Prior to toasting to his HOF worthy career, the baseball great joined Neil deGrasse Tyson, Gary O’Reily, and Chuck Nice to record the Startalk podcast. Then, Beltran was joined by his family and friends, including former New York Giant and co-host of Fox Business News Jack Brewer, former New York Met and San Francisco Giants World Series Champ Andres Torres, former MLB player Victor Martinez, as well as Rohan Marley, Chris Roach, and Samantha Cole for “Operation Rise-Up” – which supported the Carlos Beltran Foundation and Operation International. The evening highlighted the spirit of “Old San Juan” with music from Broadway actress and Americana singer Brooke Moriber, Reggaeton duo Sammi Rae & Los Vegas and more.

On a Saturday night it’s notoriously challenging to snag a table at Brooklyn Chop House in Southampton, so when a billionaire did, they and their posse decided to go all out by racking up a bill that amounted to over $34,000. Co-owner Robert “Don Pooh” Cummins shared a pic of the whopping check to Instagram. The group spent over $6,000 on Grey Goose alone.
