http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/23/derek-jeter-hannah-davis_n_7646294.htmlWhen Derek Jeter eats amongst company, he's probably used to being presented with the black bi-fold bearing the check. According to Forbes, Jeter's raked in approximately $400 million during his baseball career, the kind of wealth that tends to turn one into the breadwinner in any financial situation....
Jeter -- who made hundreds of millions playing for the Yankees -- and Davis -- who pulls in about $5 million a year modeling -- made out and ate pizza near the Spanish Steps in Rome. Then they asked to split the bill, each paying with their AmEx Black Cards (available to those who charge more than $250,000 per year!).
The news was met with male shock on Twitter, because of course it was. But was it really that messed up? On the one hand, like, bro, Jeets, my man: Be a gentleman, uphold our society's time-tested chivalrous values and put one card -- your card -- down. At the least, it saves the restaurant in receipt paper. Tree killers are bad.
But denying an independently wealthy woman the choice to pay for her own damn meal -- no matter how many zeros the guy on the other side of the table is worth -- doesn't feel right either. Urban philosopher 2 Chainz has spoken on this very topic before: "It's mine, I spend it."

How exactly does one go Dutch on a pizza date in Italy?

I'm sure they've already worked out how each of them pays for their trips to the restaurant and in other situations.
