Rudy Giuliani is celebrating his 80th birthday with parties in New York and Palm Beach thrown by friends. The parties come with a gift registry that includes items like an electric razor, Giorgio Armani cologne, and even stain-blocking paint and a 55-inch TV. The Manhattan party will take place at Amata later this month, while the Palm Beach bash will be hosted by Giuliani confidant Ted Goodman and GOP consultant Caroline Wren. The Palm Beach party on Donald Trump’s home turf is described as the hottest ticket in town, with many wanting to attend to celebrate the former politician who has had a long career of service to the country.
Giuliani, who is currently facing financial struggles, was recently suspended from his radio job at WABC and has put his Manhattan apartment on the market. A gift registry on Amazon was sent out to guests specifying which gifts should be sent to his Manhattan or Palm Beach addresses. The registry includes items like LED chandeliers, an electric razor, a document scanner, and various home items. Despite the invitation stating that gifts aren’t necessary, guests were encouraged to refer to the Amazon registry for ideas if they choose to bring a present for Giuliani’s birthday.
Despite the celebratory atmosphere surrounding Giuliani’s birthday, there are legal issues looming over him. Arizona officials have reportedly been trying to serve him with an indictment related to an alleged scheme to overturn election results in the state. The lawyer has been accused of dodging being served in the case while participating in the birthday celebrations. Giuliani had previously filed for bankruptcy after a massive legal judgment against him stemming from a defamation case in Georgia. The civil court ruling has had a significant impact on Giuliani’s financial situation.
Giuliani recently exited his radio gig after a dispute with the station owner over increased airtime and compensation demands. Despite his financial troubles and legal challenges, friends of Giuliani describe him as a hero who has made significant contributions to society. They praise his work in taking down the Mafia, locking up Wall Street criminals, and his leadership following the September 11th attacks. Giuliani continues to maintain a busy work schedule with national livestream programs on social media, continuing to engage with his audience despite the ongoing legal and financial issues he faces.
