Millionaire DuPont Heir Is Gold-Dug By Web Girls

by Chad Mumm on May 12, 2009 at 01:46 PM

Let's pretend for a second that you are a millionaire heir to a famous fortune. You've got tons of cash to blow, so why not spend it on a hot, young (and ambitious) sugar baby? The mistress angle is so played out, but thanks to new technology, you won't even have to proposition that aspiring actress bringing you your Pellegrino at Cipriani. SeekingArrangement.com will set you up with an attractive youngster for you to pamper, but beware -- people from the Interwebs aren't like the people you meet in real life. Not only will they accept your sugar lovin', but they'll extort the living daylights out of you in the process.

This is exactly what happened to Stephen Dent, heir to the DuPont fortune. According to the New York Post, Dent willingly spent more than $200,000 on women he met on SeekingArrangement.com, but that didn't stop 22-year-old Queens, NY resient Roy Sipel from extorting an additional $40,000 from Dent back in March 2008, after finding out that the millionaire had sex with his girlfriend. Sipel was busted on larceny charges and is spending 16 months in jail. This apparently wasn't enough to scare Dent, who lives in Greenwich, CT, away from the site, because he went back and ended up getting extorted again, this time by an Ohio couple for $100,000, who were busted this March.

Although this all played out thanks to a social-networking site, the classic gold-digger extortion play is the oldest trick in the book. Next time, maybe Dent will hit Craigslist for his trysts -- we've heard that people are much more responsible on that site. [From: New York Post , via Gawker]

Neutral

Don't BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!

THE ONLY PEOPLE BEING EXPLOITED TO ANY SIGNIFICANCE IS THE YOUNG WOMEN JOINING THESE SITES HOPING TO FIND A RECIPROCAL & MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIP (AND BEING UP FRONT ABOUT THEIR REQUIREMENTS) . SO ONE UNDISCRIMINATING HIGH PROFILE PARTICIPANT FALLS PREY TO DISHONESTY AND THE "GOLD DIGGER ALARMS" START RINGING. BEAUTIFUL EDUCATED AND NICE YOUNG WOMEN (INCLUDING MYSELF) GET TOTALLY TAKEN FOR A RIDE BY VILE CON ARTISTS NON-STOP. DOUBLE STANDARD!! SICKENING!

Pros:
NONE
(SERIOUSLY, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!)

Cons:
TIME WASTER! LOTS OF EFFORT & STILL LEFT WITH BILLS & ZERO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

IN RETURN FOR YOUR BEAUTY, POISE & KINDNESS YOU GET: AGGRAVATION, EMBARRASSMENT, SEXUAL HARASSMENT (AND YES, DINNER) FROM GROSS, UNATTRACTIVE, MEAT-HEAD WANNABES WHO HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT THIS SORT OF AN ARRANGEMENT IS AND/OR NO INTENTION, OR ABILITY OF ACTUALLY BEING IN SUCH AN ARRANGEMENT.

These sites completely exploit young women. I spent several months and a lot of time and energy on the 3 reported best ones. The men (mostly grotesque and and not actually wealthy at all in fact) are all inundated with hundreds of offers from beautiful desperate girls every week. They do not have to prove their wealth. The ones I met were clearly just using it as a cheep way to get easy, endless attention from young ladies they would never be able to even talk to under normal circumstances. Even the ones who are wealthy have no intention of actually forming a true sugardaddy relationship. They are just hoping to get free NSA sex in exchange for dinner.

Why spend your time making such an effort with a man who you will most likely be embarrassed to be seen with who does not care about what you think or say and has no interest apart from parading you around for a night and trying to get sex off of you - in exchange for dinner (as in one of my dates you might not even get cab fare and spend most of the night guarding your mouth with your fork for for fear he puts his tongue in it every time you speak GROSS!!!). You can get dinner from a hot guy on a normal dating site or social network.

I spent loads of time writing endless e-mails (a lot of older guys just join for titillation of writing back and forth)with guys that promised help that never materialised. I also spent time away from work and money travelling on dates, got stood up and I even got jipped £20 cab fair from one who wouldn't let me take public transportation home - he gallantly put me in a cab - but then didn't have any cash to pay and didn't give it back to me the next day. I got pawed up by a disgusting guy who was supposedly a pillar of society and told by this hideously unattractive and badly dressed man (think grand dad golfing) that he liked me better than the "exceptionally beautiful" girl he dated from the site earlier that morning - at least my "wonderful personality" made up for the fact that I was "only just pretty and not beautiful" like the other girl. - He actually said that - he who was disgusting. For 1 the beautiful girl was probably not as polite as I was. And 2nd I've dated stunningly gorgeous guys and none of them have ever told me I was "just pretty"; and they have been more appreciative and a million times more polite interesting generous and intelligent - oh and some of them have actually been rich not pretending like this guy who I found out did not actually have any money ( he reported on his profile $50 million).. etc. etc. etc. Their forums are full of girls complaining about the same thing and much worse. PLEASE PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T waste your time and let these vile con artists take you for a ride.

***If on the other hand if you are aged, over-unattractive, overweight, over-sexed, balding and with not much personality, but you want many gorgeous lovely young women to go out with every night (or even 2 or 3) whom you can lie to about your supposed nonexistent wealth - these are the sites for you.
