Fresh from performing at Lollapalooza in Chicago, Miley Cyrus hit the Hamptons over the weekend to play a crypto billionaire’s private bash.
The pop star performed at the Amagansett home of CEO of Galaxy Investment Partners, Mike Novogratz — who has been called “one of Wall Street’s hardest-charging party animals.”
Taking the stage in a red leotard, we’re told the pop star belted out hits including “Party in the USA” and “Wrecking Ball,” plus a cover of Sinead O’Connor’s version of the Prince-penned “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
The tent in which Cyrus performed was decked out with giant mermaids as part of the Coney Island “Mermaid Parade” theme.
Guests arrived through a giant box-office-like entrance — complete with neon lights that spelled out “Novopark” — and were decked out in theme costumes. Novogratz posted an image of himself on Instagram in a bandana and metallic blazer with no shirt and dramatically painted-on abs. One of his sons dressed as a sailor, while another donned a toga.
The outdoor bash had a carnival vibe with tents offering booze, knishes, roasted corn and ice cream at various stands — plus an ice luge for drinks. There was also a Nathan’s pop-up, complete with Hot Dog Eating Contest champion Joey Chestnut, who a spy said was wearing his championship belt and posing for pics with guests.
Aerialists hung from tents, and stilt-walkers stalked a lawn that also featured Instagram-worthy installations. There was also a “silent disco,” where guests could don headphones, choose their tunes, and hit the dance floor.
Novogratz has called himself “the Forrest Gump of bitcoin” due to his luck with the cryptocurrency. He previously worked at Goldman Sachs and Fortress Group. When he exited Fortress, The Post wrote upon his departure: “Even by hedge fund standards, Novogratz, a former Goldman Sachs partner, is widely considered a cowboy.
“Among his flashy outfits, he has been known to wear diamond-studded belts and cowboy boots. He briefly served as a helicopter pilot in the New Jersey National Guard.”
We’re told Novogratz was asking guests at his bash to support Project Most, a nonprofit that helps with after-school and summer learning programs for families in East Hampton.
