The economic downturn is sparing nobody. I read this article about mistresses in Globe and Mail. Now, mistress here does not mean a dominatrix (though I assume their business must have suffered as well), but a kept women (or a kept man, in these politically correct times).
Anyway, many rich multimillionaires are cutting the allowance to their mistresses. The survey talked to 518 multimillionaires. All were worth at least $20-million (U.S.), owned a private jet and had a spouse. Of those, 191 admitted to having kept someone on the side for more than a year. Two-thirds were men and one-third were women.
"Twelve per cent of the 191 said they dropped these people completely for financial reasons," president Russ Prince said.
But here they found a big difference between men and women. While 81 % of men said that they are cutting the allowance to their mistresses, 54 % of women said they were increasing the allowance to their mistresses (incidentally, what the male version of mistress? A gigolo?).
"I'm finding it's much better to be kept by women than men," Mr. Prince said.
