WOLF OF LAS VEGAS

Leo-fave clubs eyed

- By JENNIFER GOULD

The feds are investigat­ing two Las Vegas nightclubs where Leonardo DiCaprio and his “Wolf of Wall Street” buddies like to party in connection with the theft of $7 billion from a Malaysian state fund, The Post has learned.

The Hakkasan and Omnia clubs — based at the MGM Grand and Caesars Palace, respective­ly — are owned by the London-based Hakkasan Group and are notorious for paying celebs big bucks for appearance­s.

In 2015, Justin Bieber was paid $500,000 to host his 21st birthday at Omnia.

Since 2013, DJs Tiesto and Calvin Harris have had regular gigs at Hakkasan for upward of $500,000 a night. Deadmau5 made $1 million there spinning just two sets.

Investigat­ors are trying to determine if the money came from the same stolen pot that backed DiCaprio’s “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

Hakkasan Group’s former chairman, Khadem Al Qubaisi, was arrested earlier this month in Abu Dhabi, where authoritie­s have frozen his assets.

In September, US investigat­ors will question a source in Europe with knowledge of Al Qubaisi’s finances, a source said.

Hakkasan opened in Vegas in 2013, around the time Al Qubaisi stole billions from 1Malaysia Developmen­t Berhad, according to the feds’ forfeiture civil suit.

DiCaprio (inset) held his 40th birthday at Hakkasan in 2014. Revelers sprayed the room with at least $1 million in champagne, including $50,000 magnums of Ace of Spades, according to rapper O.T. Genasis.

DiCaprio often partied at Hakkasan with Jho Low — the architect of Malaysian state developmen­t fund 1MDB — who gave the actor millions of dollars stolen from 1MDB to gamble with in Vegas, the feds say.

Also, Low donated millions of dollars in allegedly stolen 1MDB cash to DiCaprio’s charity, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.

Now DiCaprio may be feeling the heat from his associatio­n with the accused fraudsters. He was recently forced to back out of hosting duties for a Hillary Clinton fund-raiser at his home.

His spokesman, Shawn Sachs, declined to return multiple calls.

A Hakkasan lawyer told The Post that Hakkasan is innocent.
