Money is all relative. The middle and lower classes always scoff at what exuberant prices the über-wealthy are willing to pay for relatively trivial things, but Einstein's theory of relativity shows that bigger bank accounts and sources of income have stronger gravitational pull like a bowling ball on a trampoline, warping the fabric of economics around it. In fact, there is a real threshold whereby once you are rich enough it's quite practically impossible to spend money fast enough.
Now, usually, the über-wealthy invest in things which, the hope is, will accrue in monetary value, which is why last year an Abu Dhabi license plate was auctioned off for $14.3 million. You might react with "Holy mother of fück! It's a god damn piece of plastic!," but such a reaction would be missing the point of relativity. Now, investing in a one-night stand certainly doesn't accrue in value, but given high enough of one's income, shelling out $3.7 million may be relative to spending one paycheck on a weekend excursion somewhere, and included in the price tag would probably be a negotiated stipulation of a night of fine dining and a luxurious night on the town before getting naked. So long as the expenditure is financially solvent and the participants have no compunctions, who are we to judge, really. The sex may be a gamble, the girl may not be any good, the girl is probably a cold-hearted cünt, but if you're a 45 year old man—and I would surmise older men are the prime auctioning contenders—then you may have the youngest, hottest, and tightest piece of ass you will ever again touch. A last hourah of youth, so to speak. (Or wh0re-ah, if you will.)
The definition of prostitution, exchanging money or something of value in exchange for sexual favors, is semantically inseparable from having a girlfriend, given the indirect, peripheral, auxiliary costs of relationships. The only real differences are compressions of time and upfront honesty concerning costs and the nature of the exchange.
In summary, my first thought to this thread was "Slüt." But the second thought, answering the question posed in this thread, "Yeah... if you're bazillionaire."
