Mixing business with pleasure! New book reveals
Mick Jagger negotiated 'cheapest deals' with hookers
during Stones world tours

He now has a personal fortune of some £200 million.

But back in the 1970s Mick Jagger was counting the pennies even when it came to prostitutes,
according to a American author.

The singer supposedly negotiated cheap deals with hookers whilst the Rolling Stones were
touring around the world.  Jagger was ‘fixated on the bottom line’ and hated feeling like he
was being ripped off - even when it came to paying for sex.




The claims are from U.S. author Debra Sharon Davis whose book ‘Backstage Pass VIP’ lays
bare the secrets of some of the world’s most famous celebrities. In an interview she said that
even though in the 1970s the Rolling Stones were one of the most famous bands in the world,
Jagger closely monitored how much they spent.

Davis said: ‘Jagger outlined what he was willing to pay as if he were negotiating the details of a
world tour – micro-managing the transactions with call girls in Europe.

Business-like approach: According to U.S. author Debra Sharon Davis, it was during the Rolling
Stones' world tours in the seventies that Jagger was especially meticulous about spending
‘Equal to music Jagger loved negotiating. His greatest respect was for businessmen who made
a lot of money,

‘For Jagger, a conservative, male chauvinist, it was how he defined manhood. Like almost all
decisions, Jagger addressed the problem fiscally.’

Davis added that Jagger, 68, never really liked paying for sex and could never properly relax
because he felt he was being overcharged.

She said: ‘The ultimate CEO. Jagger worried about lawsuits from strange women. He was fixated
on the bottom line.’


Another example of his penny pinching supposedly came on the band’s 1982 European tour in
Germany.

Davis said: ‘Jagger made a packed indoor stadium of rowdy kids wait nearly an hour (before
he came out) while he calculated box office receipts because he remembered financial inaccuracies years before’.

Davis is not the first person to comment on Jagger’s sharp eye for business.

In his memoir Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards bemoans how his former friend turned into a
cold-hearted businessman who became nearly impossible to work with.

Yes, but as is quite evident they're rehashing a story from a book. They didnt write the original article.

Jagger negotiated with himself?

He is not paying for the "sex" per se, he is paying for her to go away . . .

Does this make him a conservative?  Does anyone know if this this makes him a conservative?  Anyone?

Yeah, but they didnt run to the papers about it because no one was interested.

Gorda's actually correct on this one. Groupies are more likely to be shameless enough to cash in.
