Five sexual traits of very wealthy men

You’d think that with spare cash to flash rich men would be the perfect images of gentlemen. But when it comes to sex romance, that couldn’t be any further from the truth, writes escort and madam Samantha X.

As a high class escort and a single woman, I’ve been the subject of bullying, harassment, and sobbing at police stations (and later at court).

I’ve been spoken to rudely, lied to and walked out on dinner dates — mostly in my single ‘real’ life than my working one.

“Shut up and eat your food,” was the quip from one date, which nearly resulted in my seafood platter ending up across his overly-tanned face.

The one thing these men had in common? They were all extremely wealthy.

Money does not the man make, says Samantha X. Picture: supplied

Before I get sued (because we all know they like bankrupting people as a hobby), here’s my disclaimer: THIS ISN’T ABOUT YOU. Not all rich men I know are wankers, but there sure is a theme.

Here are my top five traits of the very wealthy.

1. They’re tight

I’m definitely not talking tight in the abs. If there’s ever been a time I’ve endured endless discussions about money or how much my entree was, it’s when I’m in the company of a very rich man. They never carry cash (so you always have to buy them lunch), and they love talking — about money. Yet funnily enough, you don’t see any of it. My wealthy clients are managed by their accountants (and hence their wallets are empty), and the ones I’ve dated … Well, let’s not even go there.

2. They promise the earth

If I had a dollar every time a rich man has promised me a car, a holiday, a house, to clear my debts, I would be a very rich woman. But more often than not, when I do receive a gift from a very rich man, they demand it back as soon as the relationship is over. I’ve had to return jewellery, piddling amounts of money, and even a bottle of Grange to wealthy men who threw tantrums after I called it off.

3. They know ‘bad people’

To the very rich, threats are like security blankets. If they’re not threatening to take you to court and ‘ruin you’, they’re boasting about the ‘bad people’ they know. The few times I’ve been to the police fearful, I’ve been told they see rich men abusing their power all the time. The ironic thing is the ‘bad men’ aren’t half as bad as the very rich men threatening women. I know far more wealthy businessmen that lie, steal and rip people off than bad boys. Here’s my message: you can afford to buy a life so go and get one mate.

4. They’re bored

Bentley? Tick. Own a shopping complex and/or luxury resort in the tropics? Tick. Private fleet of jets? Tick. Yawn. What next?

Being very rich can also mean being very bored, which is very dangerous. Some see escorts as a hobby, others flaunt their vacuous existence on social media. I remember one wealthy client whingeing how bored he was day in, day out. His friends couldn’t afford his lifestyle, he had done charity work, he had the cars, house, boat. He really had nothing left to strive for. Kids and wife? “Boring”

“How’s the weather outside?’ I asked once. “Boring,’ he replied.

The only thing I found boring was him.

5. They have bad taste in clothes

I knew a billionaire once who shopped at Lowes (because the bargains were great). Money can’t buy you taste, class or style. Nor can it buy you integrity, manners or love. Give me a hot tradie, hot cop, hot bad boy over the Polo shirt brigade any day.

And if you see a man dressed in a terrible Hawaiian shirt and board shorts at the airport, you can bet your bottom dollar he is laughing all the way to the bank.
