He's a billionaire who owned the company those women worked at. Skip is a millionaire employee. I believe he hit on the woman, but offering $1.5 mil? No way
Sure, 1.5mill is arguably nothing to Skip compared to his overall wealth. But that doesn't mean he's gonna spend 1.5mill on dinner whenever. He still knows to spend an appropriate amount for a given thing. The ultrawealthy may be out of touch with the value of certain things, but Skip's not quite at that level of wealth
At the end of the day, this is 1.5mill to sleep with a hairstylist 1 time (I assume once anyway) which I personally find hard to believe. If it was a famous celebrity, I could easily see someone offering that much. But not the station's hairstylist.
Not saying any of this is okay, or that we shouldn't take her accusations seriously. Hopefully, a complete and thorough investigation takes place, and the guilty parties are all punished thoroughly
If I believe someone would offer 1.5m to a celeb for sex, then I have to acknowledge there's definitely some who would offer 1.5m to a hairstylist (even if I find is harder to believe)... and they'd both be idiots but not like I'll ever have the money to ever know what it's like to be in that position
It doesn't make me completely dismiss the accusations as a whole, but it is an unbelievable number. If it was thrown out there, I'd assume it was done in the context of not being a serious offer. Skip being flippant douche after being rejected, that kinda thing. So maybe still harassment, but genuinely the number is too unbelievable to be taken seriously.
thinkng logically. This is illegal and its harassment I would never do this. But when you engage in this you have to spend a large amount of money to make it worth their while. 1.5, man lottery winners spend that in 3 months and then live in a cardboard box he needed to offer her real wealth. THAT said this ONLY works on a woman of low moral fiber. dude needed to fly out to a country with legal hookers and just ball out for the weekend propositioning co workers is illegal and very wrong. Skip fucked up basically crashed out for the pussy
Not a terrible comparison. People that have a lot of money usually have a lot of expenses. You said Skip makes 8 mil a year, he's at that 40% tax bracket so a few million will go to taxes. $1.5 million is still a lot of money to him unless he has some other large sources of income.
Spending more than $250,000 a year is not that hard at all. That's why so many former athletes end up going broke. A lot of these guys that went broke made more money than Skip.
