Million Dollar Question

[+ purplekow]

I was speaking to a friend of mine who is a former escort and the conversation came around to how he was introduced to escorting. It seems several of his friends were having an occasional night out with a gentleman in his 70's. They were taken to a fine restaurant and then back to his hotel for some conversation and before they left he would ask to massage them. The massage was the extent of the physical interaction. When I asked what had become of this client, my friend replied that he had just faded from the picture as my friend became more and more in the world of escorting. He had assumed that the man had died but he did not know for sure. Being a curious sort, I asked if he knew the man's name and he told me his name. Now this is not a forum to discuss the ethics of the escort giving up his client's name. This is only a report of what transpired. In trying to track down this gentleman, I found that he had indeed passed away. When I so informed my friend, he said there was always something peculiar in his interactions with the client, because he had been asked on many occasions what he would do with $1,000,000 and my friend learned that the other escorts in his group had been asked the same question. Through some further research I discovered that this client had indeed bequeathed almost two million dollars to an academic institution. So my question is: have any escorts ever been remembered in a client's will and client's would you consider leaving something to a rent boy or three?

I would not consider leaving anything to anyone that I did not feel I wanted to...no matter what their "occupation" waiter, rentboy, garbage man, or my lawyer:)

Leave what? My best wishes? I intend to spend it all.

This is an excellent question. While I'm not rich I live a comfortable life. The only "close" relatives I have is my sister's family (all of her kids are now adults). But, the family seems very focused on their needs and I sometimes feel like only a casual part of their lives. In fact, I didn't even get a birthday card from any of them this year (despite the fact that they always get a card and generous gift from me on their birthday).

 

So, what do I do with my real estate and "leftover" money when I'm gone?

 

A local gay choir has an endowment fund where I can bequeath them a sum of money. I believe the way their fund is setup is that the principle amount remain intact and the choir benefits from the interest. Personally, I like this idea as it provides long-term funding for a wonderful organization. I'm considering an arrangement similar to this for 1 or 2 gay-related organizations.

 

But, I would definitely consider leaving $50-75K to a favorite escort. My criteria for selecting the escort would be the quality and longevity of our sessions. I'm definitely not the best looking guy around. But, if I found an attentive escort with whom I had a professional relationship for 2-3 years, I'd certainly consider leaving them in my will.

 

But, I haven't found that escort (yet).

I have twice been remembered in the wills of deceased clients. Not huge or life-changing amounts (they both had families), but a nice gesture. In one case, I had a relationship with his family as well. I attended the funeral at their invitation and was consulted on the wording of his tombstone. In the other case, I received a nice call from the family, who were aware of me, but I was on a different continent and unable to attend. I believe I may be in the wills of some living clients.

Currently, my estate goes to charity (church, university, etc.). However, I would not be adverse to the thought and consideration of including someone in my estate plan. It is an interesting idea with significant and long-established historic precedent. As an estate planning (Wills, trusts, estates, probate) professional, I have had a few of these cases during my career and, as Mark Gordon (above), has stated, they are usually of the "gesture", "memento", "appreciation" type--the largest one I remember was $50K. However, and this may be more to the point, I have seen, more frequently, a business relationship develop between a client and an escort--usually of the "seed capital" type to make an investment or start a business (outside of the escorting venue) where both client and escort benefit (financially). Interestingly enough, and this is based solely on anecdotal "evidence", the business relationship that develops between an escort and a client is usualy better, more rewarding (financially), and stronger due to much stricter standards of due diligence than what to me is an entirely different pervue: that of "sugar daddy".

What a fascinating idea. I am in the process of having my will drawn up and thus find this discussion highly interesting. Thanks much purplekow

My will says, "If my debts equal my assets, I have died the happiest of men."

....But, I would definitely consider leaving $50-75K to a favorite escort. My criteria for selecting the escort would be the quality and longevity of our sessions.

I have and he refuses to even consider my generosity. So I just named him beneficiary of a $100K life insurance policy I already had. Now he 'almost' has to take is since there are no other beneficiaries, first, contingent or otherwise. Just him, or his estate/heirs.

my current favorite (by far) escort has told me he has a $175,000 medical debt that has ruined his credit....and he just got a regular job he really likes, but is discouraged by its low pay.....like me, he came out late and we really have a good time together......

 

I have no plans to die anytime soon, but this will business is an intriguing idea.....

I know many guys who get into the biz with one goal in mind: to find a rich man as a boyfriend, to get into his business (in a helpful way) and to be left a very rich man when the sugardaddy dies. Escorting is the best way to meet wealthy men and that is a fact. What destroys most of these arrangements is when the Daddy asks for fidelity and the young stud gets caught in bed with another young stud. Then out the door and onto the street you go. I know about a half dozen over the years who did control the urges and their Daddy died a happy man and the suddenly rich kept boy THEN had alot of fun with all the boys he could find! In my personal experience I have had numerous sugardaddy offers especially back in my PALM BEACH days. It was never my scene. I have always prefered to make my own money and be my own man but that is a personal choice and preference.

While a sugar daddy may certainly leave money behind as a remembrance, this post is more about a standard escort client relationship. It seems it may have triggered some nice future remembrance for some escorts out there. You may thank me later guys.

Sorry...when I die, all my estate goes to my imaginary friends "Bob", "Bob" and "Bob"

[instudiocity]

My favorite imaginary friends are all named Bob, too! But only because of what they do to me in my dreams.
