That's a pretty wild accusation that I feel like needs some substantiating.


Best I could find was this:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2377785/Google-CEO-...

But:

- 15 million not 30.

- The women he had affairs with don't seem to have been prostitutes and a fair bit older than 18 too.

- His wife knew about it all and was apparently OK with it.

- Penthouses are pretty much the opposite of bunkers if you think about it.


The cost is probably an exaggeration but this is not some secret: https://gothamist.com/news/google-boss-has-amazing-15-millio...


Parent commenter is wildly embellishing/lying, but some of the details of Schmidt's open marriage have been widely reported: https://www.mic.com/articles/56553/eric-schmidt-has-15-milli...


Given that the entire ~accusation~ actionable libel seems to be a bizarre game of telephone derived from a 2013 news item in which Eric Schmidt paid roughly half that amount for a NY penthouse, specifically one muckraker’s tabloid variant that vaguely connected Schmidt to two very definitely not 18 also very definitely not prostitutes, and that the only detail that appears remotely correct is that he did indeed have the property soundproofed, I very much doubt you’ll get that substantiation.


That’s not true. The sex bunker only cost $15M: https://gothamist.com/news/google-boss-has-amazing-15-millio...

And it wouldn’t be a harem if they’re prostitutes.


Woah, any link to support this?
