Richest man in England also a regular of prostitution ring in Spitzer scandal
DAILY NEWS ^ | March 12th 2008 | LARRY McSHANE

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...

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

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

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...

Like Spitzer, Grosvenor is married - and he has four children with wife Natalia.

The duke had close ties to the royal family and is one of Prince Charles' best friends.

Grosvenor also is Prince William's godfather.

So who are the other clients?

Who’s client # 1?

Who’s #10?

I imagine some of the great and powerful are concerned at the moment.

And maybe some of THEM, not Spitzer, are the ultimate target of all of this (maybe, someone named Bill?)

I wonder how being a Duke affects community property in a divorce.

After looking at these men and reading about them, it isn’t difficult to understand why they seek transaction sex.

The rich use hookers because you are actually paying them to leave afterward. Not stick around get 1/2 of your fortune.

My understanding is that the very high cost of these prostitutes is linked to the assumption of anonymity. Of course, that turns out not to be quite true. And to add insult to injury, the prostitutes will now 'dis the client as "dull and demanding".

I imagine that with this egregious lack of anonymity and lack of decorum on the part of the prostitutes, they will be dramatically dropping their prices.

No?

I think we need a deck of playing cards that identify all of these “clients” , like the Iraq War Most Wanted.

He probably learned a $5,000 whore is cheaper then a wife.
