Los Angeles Sugar Daddies Spend $5,448 A Month On Their Ladies?

The economy is dire. People are selling their used underwear on Craigslist. You've downgraded from DirecTV to YouTube. You buy your fresh produce from a freeway offramp!

And yet Los Angeles sugar daddies are spending $5,448 a month on their chickadees? Yep. So says the latest annual sugar daddy report by the prostitution dating site SeekingArrangement.com:

Crazy town, this.

According to data sent to the Weekly and based on the site's latest “Top 20 Cities to Find a Sugar Daddy” survey of its membership (which stands at more than 2 million, a 71 percent increase since one year ago), L.A. sugar daddies are straight ballers, y'all.

They make an average $437,818 a year and spend way more than your rent on their pals: $5,448 a month. The average age of such a player? 38.

Who are these people? Look around. See that douche in the new, $120,000 Porsche? Yep.

Brandon Wade, SeekingArrangement.com's CEO:

Not only is the face of the modern Sugar Daddy changing, but his needs are as well. Men who gain their wealth at a young age understand that time can't be wasted chasing fruitless leads. Arrangements on our website are catered to ensure that both parties are satisfied.

Indeed. (Swirls Courvoisier in tumbler).

1 Atlanta 5.98 [per 1,000]

Atlanta, Scottsdale, Arizona, San Francisco, Tampa, Florida, Boston and Las Vegas were among the towns that beat us out, but L.A. did rank third in terms of monthly cash spent on sugar babies:

Glad we could rate in this prestigious competition.
