Leaving aside that Trent Frank should never have asked his own employees to be a surrogate mother, is $5 million appropriate compensation to carry a child for someone else?

His stupidity was to ask his own professional staff to be surrogates, and imply that the sperm insertion would not be with a syringe.

Everything that I have read says that surrogate mothers charge between $25,000 and $80,000.

What could possibly be worth $5 million?

I’d do it for five million.

And I’m a guy.

He wanted to deposit the sperm himself. It was just a ruse to fuck some young women.

He can impregnate me for $5 million. Sounds like a great offer. Cash up front…

Cost always depends on what it is worth to the buyer and also how much money they have. It is an indication of his wealth that he was willing to offer this.

What doesn’t make any sense though is, if he has that much disposable income, and it was just a ruse to sleep with these young ladies, why not just spend much less on high end call girls or be a sugar daddy to a young, willing participant??

Why offer to spend so much on a go, and risk your career??

^Maybe he grew infatuated. Only thing rich people like, more than money, is something they can’t have.
When his advances were denied initially, it made it more desirable.

@cookieman – Let’s say you consider yourself morally superior to the vast majority of the population. So much so that you’re going to save them from themselves.

You’re also 60 years old, so where are you going to meet younger ladies who share your morals and would be worthy of your sperm? ~ Not a lot of hard core tea party, anti-abortion, ladies looking to hook up on craigslist.

I guess that left the ladies at work.
