She's not making $1200/hr. Total b.s.

Why wouldn't she? That's hardly crazy for any bigger city, and she's got a massive online following. Even if she looks a bit more plain than the average girl charging that much, there's a plenty of customers who want just that and her platform is massive.

I know literally nothing about the financial aspects of the industry. Can you expand the on that?

  GP seems to live in a small European city with a pretty small market for this stuff. I seriously doubt there are any Zurich-based escorts earning $1200 hour. In London anything between 200 and 1000GBP per hour is completely ordinary, there will not even necessarily be a strong correlation between pricing and the quality of service. It is not super unusual to see people charging more than 1000GBP/h either. There's a huge discovery problem in the prostitution market, it's really hard for a customer to differentiate between providers without actually visiting them. In many places it's hard to find useful reviews, so you're stuck choosing a provider based on heavily photoshopped photos and hoping for the best. Charging more is probably a good strategy to differentiate yourself.

Sounds normal to me... see Eliot Spitzer [0]: > $4,300 is not an altogether alarming sum of money in the high-end sex market > In New York, it’s not hard to find sex workers who charge $10,000 per “session,” which can last for 15 minutes or two hours.

  "Can" is doing the lifting here. High-end SW who advertise often give prices of $500-$800/hr; like any "luxury service", there are undoubtedly those who amplify their desirability by not advertising and charging even more. But $10,000 for 15 minutes is a pretty outlandish scenario. It might have played out somewhere in history, sure.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they interacted with a Saudi prince or something who threw $10k at them for 15 minutes as a power play, but that's likely a one-off kind of thing

Per literal hour of work, not the average rate of a 40 hour work week.
