Sex sells, that’s probably the reason why prostitution is the oldest profession in the world, perhaps even before hunting. While prostitution might be banned and spoken about in hushed tones even by the authorities, it’s legal in a lot more countries than you think, and even where it’s outlawed, it’s practiced discreetly in secret brothels. The brothel industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, and it’s the reason why brothels have become so popular. In Germany alone, this industry makes a whopping EUR 15 billion a year, that’s around $17 billion. While you might not be the brothel fan, or you wouldn’t frequent one in your many escapades, it’s always wise to be a little informed.

Since prostitution laws are ever changing, and more and more countries are lifting the ban each year, the brothel business is doing pretty fine. There are no bad seasons, it’s an all season business. Like any other industry that thrives, there’s a specific niche for specific clients, from high-end luxury brothels to the quirky, ill-lit dungeons downtown where anything goes. However, today we have compiled a list of 15 high-end brothels. These are brothels where luxury, discreetness, and prices are at the forefront. If you walk into any of these high-end brothels asking for the price, then you probably don’t belong there.
