Lindsay Lohan has missed out on an opportunity to pocket $150,000 because she was too busy shopping to arrive on time for a flight to Europe.
Lohan won’t attend tonight’s famous Vienna Opera Ball as the guest of rich businessman Richard Lugner because she missed her flight out the country, Lugner confirmed to the press today
The alleged hoarder had been the latest in a series of stars to be invited to the annual event by Lugner, but she’ll have to be replaced with another hired escort after failing to board her flight from Los Angeles to London because she lost track of time during a shopping spree.
Lugner claims the British Airways aircraft waited for Lindsay – who was due to get a connecting flight to Vienna – for more than two hours but when she boarded she was asked to leave because she couldn’t afford the $22,000 the carrier charged for having to wait for her arrival.
“She wanted to pay it, but her card’s credit limit was not high enough,” says Luger, 77.
