Here’s a nice little exercise on leasing versus renting.
Paul Macartney is my subject. I note according to reports he paid 49 million dollars to Heather Mills for 5 years or marriage. Assuming he got sex every night during their 5 year relationship (which lets be honest, probably didn’t happen) it would end up costing him $26,849 per time. Heather ain’t exactly the best looking bird. Now I also note, Elliot Spitzer’s call girl, Kristen, an absolute stunner with a body like no other, charges $4,000 an hour, for anything. Had Paul McCartney ‘employed’ Kristen for 5 years, he would’ve paid $7.3 million for an hour of sex every night for 5 years (a saving of $41.7 million). Value-added benefits are: a 22 year old hot babe, no begging, no coaxing, never a headache, plays all requests, ability to put BOTH legs around you, no bitching and complaining or ‘to do’ lists. Best of all, she leaves when you’re done, and comes back when you ask her. All at 1/7th the cost, with no legal fees.
Sometimes renting makes far more sense.
