Secret “Tips for Jesus” Tipper Revealed in NYC

Even if considered by some a gift from God, now at least waiters and waitresses around the country can finally thank the mysterious patron who has been leaving heavenly gratuities at restaurants and bars from coast to coast. The mysterious tipper who stamps his tips that reach "100 times that of the actual bill" with "Tips for Jesus" has been identified as past VP of Paypal, Jack Selby, reports Valleywag.com.

Starting in September of last year, "Tips for Jesus" bestowed the first anonymous tip in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for $3000,000 on a $87.88 bill. The check, stamped with "@tipsforjesus," leads all those who are curious to the tipper's Instagram account where images of the checks show tips that always exceed the sum of the initial charge.

Since the initial uber-gratuity, Selby has reportedly totaled over $50,000 in tips. According to Valleywag.com, Selby's spree of generosity is not connected with any new venture or marketing ploy - he's simply doing it because "why not."

However, the jig isn't up. On December 5^th, 2013, two images of checks stamped with @tipsforjesus appeared on Selby's Instagram account. The issue? One was from The Smith in New York, and the other from a resort in Punta Mita, Mexico.

Huh?

Well we haven't heard anyone complain yet, but there seems to be more behind Selby than we're being lead to believe. Perhaps having come a team effort, I'm sure there is a group out there somewhere dedicated to unveiling the identities of Selby's helpers (or should we say extra wallets) and after the discovery of Selby, we're sure their names are soon to follow.

For a feel-good sort of day, be sure to check out his Instagram account @tipsforjesus. We love that Selby is spreading the cheer from high-end restaurants for $10,000 to everyday eateries like Tacolicious in San Francisco (he tipped $1,000 on a $152.00 tab).

It's hard not to love the guy, even though we're dying to know what exactly he ordered at a taco restaurant that totaled over $100.
