Inside the life of a 'sugar baby'

Describing herself as a professional 'lady of leisure', Simone Toon's lavish lifestyle is funded by sugar daddies.

These are older men who pay for her serviced London apartments, gym membership, holidays, designer handbags and shoes – and even her two breast enhancements.

The 25-year-old rarely gets up before midday, jets all over the world and never cooks a meal for herself, eating out at Knightsbridge and Mayfair hotspots instead.

She shops at Harvey Nichols and Harrods most days and buys herself a new handbag every week.

Simone says: "I can never imagine being with someone who wouldn't treat me and who wouldn't pay for my lifestyle."

"I wouldn't date somebody who isn't rich. For me I don't find it appealing."

It does have its pitfalls though, Simone explains, when it comes to ending a relationship with someone on whom you're financially reliant, it can be difficult.

She said: "I have been in situations where I'm not happy with the person that I'm with and I haven't broken it off just because of the financial situation."

"Yes, the sugar daddies can definitely use that to their advantage."

Simone tried to enter the regular working world after ending one of her relationships at the age of 22, but only lasted a week.

She claims making the change to being 'staff' was something that she couldn't do.

Flying high literally as well as metaphorically, pilots top the salary scale this year. There are various routes into the job, from university courses to airlines' own training schemes; private training will set you back as much as £50,000 to £60,000.

"I most enjoy the variety of the job, working as a team, to a schedule, with the responsibility of safely transporting hundreds of people to their destination. I would advise aspiring pilots to thoroughly research training routes, understand the serious financial outlay required with no guarantee of a job after training and to consider other routes such as flight instruction."
