That's a pretty wild accusation that I feel like needs some substantiating.

- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoParent commenter is wildly embellishing/lying, but some of the details of Schmidt's open marriage have been widely reported: https://www.mic.com/articles/56553/eric-schmidt-has-15-million-extramarital-sex-pad-and-his-wife-is-ok-with-it https://www.mic.com/articles/56553/eric-schmidt-has-15-milli...
- atdrummond 3y agoThe cost is probably an exaggeration but this is not some secret: https://gothamist.com/news/google-boss-has-amazing-15-million-sex-fortress https://gothamist.com/news/google-boss-has-amazing-15-millio...
- WJW 3y agoBest I could find was this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2377785/Google-CEO-serial-womanizer-Eric-Schmidt-spends-15-million-dollars-private-doorman-Manhattan-penthouse-totally-soundproofed.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2377785/Google-CEO-... But: - 15 million not 30. - The women he had affairs with don't seem to have been prostitutes and a fair bit older than 18 too. - His wife knew about it all and was apparently OK with it. - Penthouses are pretty much the opposite of bunkers if you think about it.
- yawpitch 3y agoGiven that the entire ~accusation~ actionable libel seems to be a bizarre game of telephone derived from a 2013 news item in which Eric Schmidt paid roughly half that amount for a NY penthouse, specifically one muckraker’s tabloid variant that vaguely connected Schmidt to two very definitely not 18 also very definitely not prostitutes, and that the only detail that appears remotely correct is that he did indeed have the property soundproofed, I very much doubt you’ll get that substantiation.
