Which sports star made the list of top ten best celebrity tippers?

Last week we mentioned the Miami New Times list of the Top Ten Worst Celebrity Tippers, in which Tiger Woods ran away with the top spot (of course), and LeBron James finished No. 4. But now it’s time for that site’s best tippers — a list it compiled from individual reports and stories from print and online sources. Only one sports star made the list … if you don’t count Charlie Sheen, who finished first. Coming in at No. 3 is:

3. David Beckham. Beckham scores with the working class and consistently comes in second place on best tipper sites. As the story goes, Beckham stopped in at Joxer Daily’s Pub in Culver City, California, with some LA Galaxy teammates. They had beers and snacks, he stuck to mineral water, and racked up a $100 tab. Beckham kicked in an extra $900 as the tip. Then again, thesun.co.uk puts the Joxer bill at 70 pounds and the tip at 620 pounds. “He signed autographs for anyone who asked. He smelled so nice! I hugged him so tight and he didn’t mind at all,” volunteered one waitress. “David certainly tips well,” a Beckham spokesperson agreed, “usually because of good service.”

Also making the list were No. 4 Bill Murray (a 120% tip on top of a $60 check.), No. 9 Jessica Simpson (deposited a $300 tip on a $500 bill. But that’s not all. She also left a note for the waitress: “You were amazing and make this world a better place, Love Jess.”), and No. 8 President Obama (paid for a $2 beer with a twenty, and told the bartender to keep the change. Zimbio.com calls that “change we can believe in.”).
