High-End Companions Charge Up to $6,000 an Hour for Tech Clients

A small group of high-end escorts are charging technology professionals thousands of dollars per hour for a combination of conversation on AI topics, attention, and sexual services. The women market themselves on X and personal websites by highlighting interests in artificial intelligence, programming, and related fields.

One escort who uses the name Meida Marek charges $3,500 an hour and says her rate has nearly doubled since the start of the year.

Clients are described as founders, researchers, and senior operators in their thirties and forties who work long hours. One client, an entrepreneur who previously traded during the Covid period and now runs an AI startup, said he pays $30,000 for weekend visits that include meals and extended conversation.

Another escort using the name Ada Hopper charges $5,000 an hour and limits international trips to arrangements she finds personally appealing. She previously worked in finance and spent a year preparing before entering the field full time.

An escort known as Aella, who began as a cam performer 15 years ago, now charges $6,000 an hour and sees only a few clients annually. She previously analyzed her own client interactions and found that escorts using more sophisticated language received higher compensation.

Kim Lee, a dominatrix with more than 20 years of experience in the Bay Area who also trains other sex workers, said the previous ceiling of roughly $1,000 an hour has risen, with a small number now charging around $2,000 or more.

“As AI becomes bigger, authentic human connection will become a rarity. One client recounted turning to paid companionship after finding chatbot interactions left him feeling more isolated during routine daily activities. The escorts report receiving gifts such as computing hardware and commissioned artwork, and some say they have rejected offers of six-figure monthly retainers that would have required them to stop seeing other clients.”
