A Manchester University student, Laura, has hit the headlines after opening up about selling her virginity for a whopping Rs 18 crore (approximately £2 million) to a famous Hollywood celebrity. Laura, aged 22, claimed to have organized the transaction with an upmarket luxury escort agency, terming the experience as life-altering.

Laura enrolled with 'Cinderella Escorts' in December 2023, a luxury escort agency famous for organizing such arrangements. She made appearances at a number of events to get acquainted with prospective bidders before a proper auction was conducted. The auction was said to have witnessed hot competition among an "extremely well-known Hollywood actor from Los Angeles", a London politician, and a Dubai businessman.

In the end, Los Angeles' Hollywood star emerged as the winner of the bidding war. Later on, Laura met the actor and herself at a five-star hotel, where the escort agency provided an escort member to accompany her for support purposes. A physician was also around to verify that she was genuinely a virgin.

Laura stated that she has no second thoughts about her decision."Many girls lose their virginity without getting anything in return. At least I secured my future," she said. She went on to say that she already knew there was a big probability she would not marry the man she first slept with, so she considered this as a wise financial move.

The funds Laura obtained enabled her to purchase a number of apartments, which she rented out. It also enabled her to afford the freedom to travel and live as she wanted to.

Laura explained that her parents were shocked at first but have accepted it now."I’m a free and independent woman. No one should tell me who I should have sex with. I’m of legal age and fully aware of my decision," she told Mirror.

While Laura had said she enjoyed the experience, she cautioned others that the risks should not be undertaken in taking this route. "It is important to clearly communicate sexual boundaries beforehand. You should definitely contact a reputable agency and never try to do something like this on your own," she advised.

Laura now intends to become a "sugar baby" and aims to earn £30,000 (about Rs 3 crore) per month.
