Teen Model Auctions Virginity For $2.9 Million To Abu Dhabi Businessman

A teenage model has sold her virginity online to a wealthy Abu Dhabi businessman for £2.2 million (more than $2.9 million).

The 19-year-old teenager, who chooses to identify herself by the name Giselle, used the German website, Cinderella Escorts, to sell her virginity to the highest bidder, in order to pay her tuition fees and go travelling.

"I would never have dreamed that the bid would rise so high and we would have reached 2.5 million Euros," she said, the Mirror reported. "This is a dream come true. I think the trend to sell your virginity is a form of emancipation and I am shocked about people who are against allowing a woman to sell her virginity."

She also has a simple answer for critics who would question her choice to sell her virginity like a commodity. "If I want to spend my first time with someone who is not my first love, that's my decision," she said.

Cinderella Escorts, run by Jan Zakobielski, 27, is notoriously known as the "world’s most famous escort service." It has often been criticized in the past for taking advantage of young girls by giving them a platform for auctioning their virginity.

However, Giselle mentioned that she opted for the service because she felt that the arrangement offered by the company was "safer."

"We organize the hotel, stay close to the hostel as a contact person in case of problems and the girl can cancel the meeting at any time," a spokesperson for the website said, the Evening Standard reported. "There are some girls who are looking for a buyer for their virginity on their own. It is safer to run this on our platform."

The encounter, for which the millionaire from Abu Dhabi, UAE, had to beat a Russian politician and a Hollywood actor from Los Angeles, is scheduled to take place in a German hotel where Giselle will be accompanied by security guards, who will ensure her safety.

Despite the questionable nature of the services, a spokesperson added that women from all over the world eagerly apply on their website to earn money by putting their virginity up for sale.

"On our website you will find a video where girls from all over the world talk about the reasons to sell their virginity," he said, the Sun reported. "Girls from Australia, Europe, Africa, North and South America. From Arab countries and Asian. This shows us that the desire to auction a virginity is no exception. And on the other hand, the high bidding for Giselle’s auction shows us how high the demand for virgins is. Business people from all over the world have been bidding."

Cinderella Escort made headlines for the first time when n in 2016 when 18-year-old Russian model Allexandra Khefren sold her virginity to a Hong Kong businessman for around £2 million ($2.6 million).
