Johnny’s $35K party tab

-

JOHNNY Manziel is spending money like he’s still an NFL star.

Despite the fact the disgraced former college phenom and NFL flameout has been unemployed since March, sources say he’s already spent some $35,000 celebratin­g his birthday in Miami just in the past week.

Sources say hard-partying Manziel — who was cut from the Browns at the end of last season — began his tear on Thursday at LIV nightclub, dropping a cool $5,000 on Armand de Brignac (ak a Ace of Spades) Champagne.

The next two nights he was spotted at Rockwell nightclub, at a table with a $10,000 drinks minimum, “ordering parades of bottles of Champagne,” including magnums of Armand de Brignac rosé that go for $3,250 a pop, we’re told.

Then on Sunday night, insiders say he paid $10,000 for a table at LIV during DJ Khaled’s birthday party. And that’s all before he even begins a big planned celebratio­n on Monday night for his 24th birthday.

When he was drafted in 2014, Manziel signed a four-year contract with the Browns reportedly worth $8.25 million, with $6.7 million guaranteed — most of which was a $4.3 million signing bonus. But he passed up much of the remaining cash when his contract was voided and he was suspended by the NFL fol- lowing a string of off-the-field incidents, including a domestic-abuse case involving his ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley. (The Dallas County District Attorney’s office settled that case with Manziel on Friday.)

He’s also lost lucrative endorsemen­ts with brands like Nike, Nissan, McDonald’s and Snickers, and has had costly legal battles — including a suit he’s engaged in with a barback who’s suing Manziel for $1 million for allegedly breaking his nose in a fight.

Then again, his parents — who are major real estate honchos — have a net worth that’s been pegged at $50 million.

A rep for Manziel could not be reached.
