One Escort's Income

[+ Lucky]

A female, yet she grossed well over 100k a year, but then, she is a law school graduate! From SF Gate:

 

A Stanford Law School graduate who is married to the co-founder of Ask.com has been charged in federal court with tax evasion for allegedly running an escort service to help pay her bills and student loans, court records show.

 

Cristina Warthen, 35, maintained a Web site called "Touchofbrazil.net," on which she advertised her services as "Brazil," discussed pricing - up to $1,300 for two hours and $15,000 for three days - and posted erotic pictures of herself, according to documents filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in San Jose.

 

Warthen is to appear in court later this month. Her attorney, Brian Getz, declined to comment today.

 

Starting in 2001, the year she graduated from law school, Warthen met with clients in numerous cities, including San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C., authorities said. She used clients' payments for rent and bills as well as installments on more than $300,000 in student loans, authorities said.

 

Warthen "engaged in sexual acts in return for money" and grossed $133,717 in 2003, authorities said. Her expenses, including travel, hotel and car rentals, amounted to $51,920 and her net income was $81,797, court records said. Warthen has not been charged with prostitution.

 

She failed to pay $25,424 she owed in taxes for 2003 but did have more than $36,000 in cash in a safe deposit box at a Bank of America branch in Oakland, authorities said, authorities said.

 

Warthen also allegedly hid $8,020 in her apartment and $16,891 in a storage locker in the garage of the Essex, a high-end building at 1 Lakeside Drive overlooking Lake Merritt.

 

She also stashed more than $2,400 in $100 bills in a law-school textbook that investigators found in the trash, authorities said.

 

Internal Revenue Service investigators seized the cash as part of a civil forfeiture action in federal court in 2004, the same year she married David Warthen, co-founder of the search engine Ask Jeeves, now known as Ask.com.

 

David Warthen filed court papers demanding return of the money, saying that the funds were stored at the home and bank so that the couple could have "ready access to cash." He said he gave the money to her in 2003 "for the benefit of both of them."

 

The civil case was settled in 2006.

At those prices she must have worked far less than one hour a week + a couple of those $5000 days thrown in to ONLY make 133,000. Shall I be rude and call her a "real hobby ho"?
