The billionaire was at the centre of more lurid claims yesterday. The Sun on Sunday reported allegations that he had offered Nancy Dell’Olio £1 million to spend the night with him. The Italian lawyer, 57, who first came to attention for dating the former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, said that the alleged proposal made in 2010 at a nightclub left her feeling “shocked and humiliated”.
“Philip pawed at my wrist and told me, ‘If you come with me now to my apartment, this night will be worth a million’. He was tipsy, but I felt he wasn’t joking,” she said. “It was disgraceful. I have sex with who I want to, when I decide, for my pleasure.”
What are the odds on if she’d said yes the price dropping to £5? Sir Philip being a cultured man who knows his GBS*.
*Maybe, might just be the famous name the story has migrated to.
If a man says that he’s outed as a sex pest.
Of course. The famous Italian lawyer. Knew I’d heard of her.
I know Philip Green has more money than taste, but I somehow doubt that even he would pay £1m for a night with an old slapper like Nancy.
Hyperbole.
He, by her own testimony, never said a million Pounds… she made the last bit up. She has inflated ideas about herself.
OT

Nancy was on a over fifties dating program recently. As i recall she openly rejected a greek doctor on the grounds he didn’t own a helicopter.
“left her feeling “shocked and humiliated”.”
Frankly, is someone offered me a million for a tumble in the sheets I would certainly be shocked – but definitely not humiliated.
“I have sex with who I want to, when I decide, for my pleasure.”
Yes, yes, Auda – and that Turk keeps a million pounds in a box under the bed.
I daresay the offering a million for sex works. You have then established what sort of woman she is.
Then can negotiate on the price. 🙂
The obvious reply would be to ask if it means he’s the sort of guy so contemptible that it would take a million to induce any woman to sleep with him?
I agree, it was probably intended as an cod-erudite joking-but-genuine chat-up line, but it’s not a good choice unless you’re fairly sure she’s interested and will appreciate the joke.
an old slapper like Nancy
I saw her in the flesh in London, a few years ago mind. Fine looking woman, better than in photos, unusually.
When I see Nancy Dell’Olio I always think of Sean Lock’s stand up piece about Madonna:

‘If you come with me now to my apartment, this night will be worth a million… lira’
It’s not exactly Weinstein jacking off into a pot plant in public, is it?
‘If you come with me now to my apartment, this night will be worth a million… lira’
Lira? Zimbabwean dollars, surely.
@NiV
You postulated on another thread that women were after love not sex.
Which may be what a man who’s no good at sex wants to believe.
Just saying.

Quite frankly, you’re missing the point.
If I was a billionaire and fancied shagging a bird, paying her a million to do so would be part of the fun. I’d put the million on the bedside table and tell her “that’s yours if I enjoy this and mine if I don’t”
A million to him is you buying her a drink.
If a billionaire had said ‘I’ll marry you if you shag me’ (I know, he is already married) would the practical effect be any different (assuming he kept his end of the bargain) to the offer of 1m in cash on the table to get horizontal? Both mean the woman can walk away with moolah for sex………….yet I doubt the former proposal would be considered so insulting/sleazy.
Women tend to get all het up when the cash is put out in open view.
– “I have sex with who I want to, when I decide, for my pleasure.”
– ‘…the alleged proposal made in 2010 at a nightclub left her feeling “shocked and humiliated”.’
It’s not easy to reconcile those two sentences.
