Mogul Reportedly Built $30 Million Sex Grotto to Indulge His Desires

Above the Law: Billionaires in the Bedroom

When it comes to sexual deviancy, the rich really are different from the rest of us.
Instead of hiring cheap hookers for an hour in a motel, they fly in high-end prostitutes for the weekend to frolic in their underground grotto. Rather than buying sex toys to liven things up, they'll build a sex vault complete with bondage and S&M gear.

The latest in a long line of lurid Lotharios is said to be computer chip mogul Henry T. Nicholas III, who allegedly built a $30 million underground grotto, complete with hidden doors and secret levers, at his equestrian estate in Laguna Hills, Calif. According to court documents unearthed by the Los Angeles Times, Nicholas is said to have planned a "secret and convenient lair" where he could indulge his "manic obsession with prostitutes" and "addiction to cocaine and Ecstasy."
The 47-year-old billionaire, who co-founded Broadcom Corp in 1991, had his private jet ferry prostitutes from New Orleans, Chicago and Las Vegas to his lair, nicknamed the Pond, where he provided his rock-star guests with drugs, including mushrooms and nitrous oxide, according to the draft complaint.
In addition, the complaint dug up by the Times alleges that Nicholas used the lair as his "personal brothel" until his wife caught him in the act with a prostitute, according to the paper. His wife, Stacy Nicholas, has since filed for divorce.
