Multimillionaires in the Brothel

In the last few months, I’ve had several interesting encounters with people who either were (or claimed to be) very wealthy, with net worths of over $20 million, or were working as managers or assistants for such individuals. Their request is always the same:

"I’m looking for a girl for myself (or my boss), someone who would be a paid lover. I want to take her on a three-week holiday on my yacht or a luxury trip around the world. Since you’re the brothel manager, you should be able to help me find her."

Well, no. This is one of the hardest requests in our business, and here’s why:

1) Legal Issues: The legal arrangements for such a deal are very controversial, if not outright illegal. Running a brothel where girls and clients meet is one thing. Sending a girl off on a yacht with an unknown person is something entirely different.

2) Safety and Guarantees: There are no guarantees for either side. I cannot guarantee to a girl that the client is reliable, no matter how much money is involved. We always tell the girls: “We can ensure your safety while you’re in our house. Outside of that, we have no power or means to protect you.”

3) The Business Side: Most people outside this industry have no idea how much money the girls earn in clubs. When someone says, “Money is not an issue for me,” I reply:

“I assume you want the best girls, right? Are you aware that the best girls can easily make €50,000 ($60,000) a month? They achieve this working 10-12 hours a day. If she accompanies you for a three-week trip, that’s essentially 24-hour shifts. She has to be with you at all times, ready and available. This requires far more effort, attention, and work—not to mention the added risk. Outside the club, there’s nobody to help her if she gets into trouble with you. So if she even considers such a request, the starting offer would have to be around €150,000–€200,000 ($150,000–$200,000). Are you still saying money isn’t an issue?”

The reaction is always the same—they’re shocked. They assume they can pay $20,000, and the girl will be grateful for the chance to spend three weeks on a yacht :)
