What's better than a Hollywood mega-star? A Hollywood mega-star who happens to be a generous tipper. 

Jim Carrey recently ate with friends at The Chester -- a trendy restaurant in the Gansevoort Hotel in NYC's Meatpacking District -- and left a $225 tip on a $151 bill, Page Six reports

For the math un-aficionados, that is almost a 150% tip compared to the standard 20% tip (which would've been a meager $30 on this tab). 

“Everyone seemed to be in a good mood,” a source told Page Six

The source also added that Carrey and pals ordered sparkling water, ­pinot noir, lemon chicken and a quinoa dish -- so he's a great orderer as well. 

During Carrey's NYC trip, he also attended Jerry Lewis' 90th birthday party and saw Hamilton on broadway. 

We could definitely get on board with Carrey's social life -- even he didn't offer to foot our bills.
