Austin has a history of leaving big tips.
When it comes to tipping service workers, Post Malone is definitely not a Scrooge.
The rapper and producer, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, has already made a name for himself with multiple hit records and awards at just 29 years old.
While he could seem a bit full of himself, fans say he’s actually quite the opposite. One Reddit user shared that he left an incredible $3,000 tip on a $3,475.50 bill back in November 2023.
It looks like the F-1 Trillion hitmaker is at it again with his big-hearted ways, as he’s been said to have left a life-changing tip for another service worker on Christmas Eve. The lucky recipient, Renee Brown, is a single mom who’s been juggling her finances while working at The Railyard, a dive bar in Houston, Texas.
A 36-year-old mom was on the job late into Christmas Eve, feeling pretty down about leaving her nine-year-old daughter, Iliana, behind for the holiday.
She shared on Instagram, “As I headed to work on Christmas Eve, I was really bummed about leaving my little girl. Little did I know, God had a Christmas miracle in store for me.”
That miracle turned out to be Post Malone and his crew, who surprised her with an unforgettable gift.
Renee added, “He’s honestly the most down-to-earth and friendly celebrity I’ve ever met.
“He changed my life on Christmas Eve, and I’ll always be thankful. Huge thanks to you, Austin.”
While chatting with Music Mayhem, the mom shared that she was in the middle of a hectic shift when her coworker joked about Post being in the building.
Later on, she spotted him chilling on the patio and advised customers to “not be weird and bother him” to help him feel more at ease.
Post and his crew spent the night enjoying drinks and jamming out to the jukebox until the bar closed on December 25.
When it came time to settle the tab, Post didn’t have to worry about it since the regulars and his friends had already picked up the check.
Renee shared that the star claimed he was charged for something just to give her a tip, so she handed him a $1 receipt.
“I kept my cool and gathered all my checks to start entering my tips,” she explained. “Then I got to his. It was a $20,000 tip.”
When she saw that amount, she said, “I just broke down in tears. It was such an emotional night already, being away from home, overwhelmed at the bar, and then to get that tip on top of everything.”
Renee was able to thank Post Malone in person and snap a photo, telling the news outlet, “I know I was crying and thanking him, but he has no idea how much this really meant to me.”
The struggling mom opened up about her tough times, juggling two jobs, homeschooling her daughter, and being without a car for two years, which left her feeling “constantly exhausted.”
She mentioned that the tip would help her pay her bills and that she dreams of starting her own business.
“Things have been really hard, and this was a true blessing that I can’t even begin to describe,” she said. “Just his visit was incredible, and it’s something I’ll cherish and talk about for the rest of my life.”
