A 22-year-old woman in the UK has made global headlines by selling her virginity for a staggering Rs 18 crore (approximately 1.7 million euros) via an online auction. According to Mirror, the Manchester student, named Laura, decided to sell her virginity in December 2023, following which she submitted an application to an escort agency. She then attended events to meet with potential buyers before a competitive bidding process began mere months later. The highest bid ultimately came from a Hollywood star, securing Laura's virginity for a record-breaking amount.
According to the Mirror, Laura, who comes from a religious background, expressed that she has no regrets about her decision. She justified her choice as a practical step toward financial security. "I don't regret it. Many girls lose their virginity without getting anything in return. At least I secured my future," she said.
The 22-year-old further revealed that the auction drew interest from powerful figures, including politicians, business tycoons, and celebrities. An "extremely well-known Hollywood actor from Los Angeles" ended up winning the auction, beating both a London-based politician and a businessman from Dubai, she disclosed.
Following this, a date was set and Laura, accompanied by a team member from the escort site, went to meet the actor at a five-star London hotel. As part of the agreement, she underwent a medical examination in the presence of the buyer to confirm her virginity. The process was managed discreetly to protect the identities of all parties involved, the outlet reported.

Laura opened up about the reasoning behind her controversial decision, saying she's pleased that she went through with her unconventional choice. "I'm glad that I made this decision, as I think very rationally as a person. The likelihood that I would have lost my virginity to someone who would never have married me afterwards anyway was very high. It wasn't worth it to me," she explained.
The 22-year-old also revealed that the auction money proved life-changing for her as it allowed her to buy apartments to rent out, new clothes, and embark on travel opportunities. Going forward, she hopes to find a wealthy partner, or a "sugar daddy," who can provide financial support while maintaining a romantic relationship.
"I've set myself up for life," she said, adding that she can now focus on her ambitions without financial worries.
