5 Most Expensive Virginities Ever Sold
5 of the Most Expensive Virginities Ever Sold
5. Alina Percea
$14,900
“I was attracted to him, so I enjoyed it.” The then-18 year old Romanian teen sold her virginity to pay for her computing degree via a two-week web auction in 2009. The winning 45-year-old Italian businessman reportedly flew her to Venice and showed her the sights before sealing the deal at a five-star hotel. “He told me he had a good job, but he didn’t say if he was married or had a family, and I didn’t ask him,” she told the Daily Mail. “I hope to see the man again. And next time I won’t make him pay!”
4. Shatuniha
$27,950
“I have no bad habits, and I am nice looking,” wrote Shatuniha in her ad. The self-described “new, not used” Siberian teen peddled her virginity for a winning bid of 900,000 roubles, or $27,950, late last year. With her stated “urgent need of money”, willingness to sell “the most precious thing I possess”, and a sale supposedly consummated by an anonymous bidder in a mystery hotel room, the whole thing feels just a little bit gloomy.
3. “Elizabeth Raine
$801,000
Mystery medical student “Liz Raine” turned virginity selling into a science. Her masterfully-designed auction website, complete with a link to the PR company who managed her bid, contains an entire page devoted to Terms and Conditions of the arrangement; legal clauses like “Sexual Intercourse means insertion of a penis into a vagina”; and a promise to donate 35% of the sale to a charity that provides education to women in developing countries.
2. Raffaella Fico
$1.3916 million
The 26-year-old Italian model claims she received one million euros for her virginity in a 2008 interview. “If someone was willing to pay a million euros for me, of course I’d be embarrassed. But with that money I could realize my dreams,” she told an Italian magazine. Former reality TV star Fico has since built up her fair share of notoriety; in 2011 for being an alleged regular attendee of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s “bunga bunga” sex parties, and more recently for having an extra-marital baby by soccer rockstar Mario Balotelli.
1. Catarina Migliorini: Pending — $1.5 million, or a reality TV show?
This 21-year-old Brazilian Model is going where no celibacy seller has gone before. Her 2012 auction debut fetched $780,000, but fell through when the winning Japanese bidder pulled out. Cue round two: in December, she reportedly found herself holding out on a $440,000 offer to consider a $1.5 million marriage proposal from a mystery Arab millionaire. The well-to-do Arab (whose identity and country of residence is currently undisclosed) supposedly speaks 11 languages and lives in a stylish mansion.
