I wouldn't know, but somehow I doubt millionaires eat $1.5 million worth of school cafeteria grade chicken.

And without digging into it, I bet it's far more than a few deep freezers worth.

You could fit 11000 cases of wings in a few deep freezers if you tried hard enough.

The joke is she had a net worth of over $1.5m due to the value of the chicken, so eating anything would be eating like a millionaire.

A chicken wing is a chicken wing and it don't matter if you got $5 or $5 million. I know for a fact that I would still eat Totino's pizza(pizza that is like $1.50 per.) if I were a billionaire
