Richest man in England also a regular of prostitution ring in Spitzer scandal

[Joanne98]

The richest man in Great Britain was a customer of the same high-end prostitution service patronized by Gov. Spitzer.

The Duke of Westminster, listed as the world's 46th richest person by Forbes magazine, hired four hookers over a six-week stretch in late 2006 and early last year, the News of the World reported last year.

Despite his incredible wealth, multi-billionaire Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor haggled with one of the Emperors Club girls for the cost of their date, according to the report.

Prostitute Zana Brazdek, then 26, described the 56-year-old Grosvenor as dull and demanding.

"I thought his conversation was quite boring," the Lithuanian woman told the newspaper. "He talked about the Army, going to Afghanistan and bin Laden. And he wanted unprotected sex. I refused."

The court documents that took down Spitzer and identified the disgraced governor at "Client 9" also included information on nine other men who hired hookers from the sex ring.

The documents did not name any of the men, but the papers noted that "Client 6" enjoyed a romp with a hooker named "Astrid" in London. "Client 6" then called the Emperors Club to inquire about another girl for a follow-up session, the papers said.

The British reports about Grosvenor said the duke's prostitutes were young enough to be his daughters. They also had an international flair: In addition to the pair from the former Soviet Union, Grosvenor entertained an Asian woman in knee-high boots and a Brazilian.

1. In Europe, this isn't even newsworthy...

[GodlessBiker]

2. Asian women in knee-high boots? Good grief.

[AlCzervik]

3. didn't you already post this?

[Joanne98]

6. Yeah but Wonkette made a bunch of jokes. This is clearer.

[NanceGreggs]

4. "an Asian woman in knee-high boots and a Brazilian ..."

A brazilian what?

Sorry, I just couldn't resist ...

[Hardrada]

13. One brazilian and fifty cents

was the fee. Paid in euros.

[jgraz]

5. I can see someone charging him $4500 for sex. (get your eye-bleach ready)

[supernova]

8. Gack!! He's greasy!!

:puke:

edit: $4500 is too little!

[VermeerLives]

9. LOL! Good grief!

Where's my eye-bleach?!

[Warpy]

10. That's what aristocracies invariably produce

as they get more inbred. Look at our first family for another example.

Even if they are born with normal intelligence, they never bother to develop it. They pay us for that.

[Hardrada]

14. You can kind of understand the major revolutions

after this sort of thing.

[Fredda Weinberg]

7. Excuse me, but this is not the governor of a state. You are peddling smut n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. I thought he was gay

oh well

[jimshoes]

12. Do you suppose if this had been the Veep

there would be this much fuss over some sex for money? And does this mean that anyone who moves a couple of grand of their own fucking money around is now fair game for some government scrutiny? This is bullshit.
