I love this story. I know I'm not supposed to. But come on, doesn't every man at some point dream of having his own sex lair?
According to court documents, computer chip magnate Henry T. Nicholas III ordered an extensive underground bunker built under his house in Laguna Hills, specifically to be used for hookers and drugs. The documents allege that the dot com billionaire would fly in prostitutes from Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New Orleans. New Orleans? Did the other three cities not cover it?
Now, ignore the fact that he's married, this is illegal and it's whores, and you have a pretty fun story. Who doesn't want to build a $30 million bunker where there are no rules?If it was me, I wouldn't waste my time with the drugs, apparently cocaine and ecstasy in this case. I'd want to concentrate on the other activities mentioned. I didn't build a multi-million dollar sex cave to spend all my time stoned down there. Besides flying in hookers from Chicago can get pricey, I'd want to enjoy the moment.
Here's another part I love -- he got busted for building without a permit because he tried to rush most of the job in a a week. Why? Because he took his wife for a vacation to Hawaii for a week and wanted it to be done before they got back. This guy is both a genius and an idiot. If you're going to bother with all this, just get a divorce dude.
Plus, if you're a billionaire and can't get laid on your own, maybe you're not as smart as advertised.
Dumb move #2: Get into a contract dispute with the guy who built the underground sex cave for you. You didn't think he might hold this over your head? On the other hand, if you're loaded on coke and hookers 24-7, all of this might escape your attention.
Now, since there is a court dispute here, it's impossible to know how true these allegations are. But there is a cave under his house. His wife did divorce him. And there are two different people suing him with the same story. It could be that they coordinated with each other or copied one another to make it more believable. Or it could be that they said the cave is for sex and hookers because it is, and that's why his wife divorced him (after catching him in the cave with a hooker apparently).
Now, if I was Nicholas, I'd just own it. He's single now anyway. Just fess up to it and say that's how you roll. I'd say, "Yeah, that's how I do. What are you going to about it?"
What business is it of anyone else? He's not a politician, he's not a hypocrite. He's just living large. Come on man, don't let that cave go to waste. Don't just do it for yourself, do it for all of us who've ever dreamed of our own underground sex bunker. Live the dream, man.

33. Seriously, I tell my husband all the time that I want a secret sex room attached to our bedroom. Round bed, silk sheets, whips, handcuffs, all sorts of fun toys to play with. Who wouldn't want that? Rock on Henry, and hey, invite my hubby and I over!

35. I heard Hillary and Pelosi were caught coming out of the cave....
Jeff at 7:25PM on Jul 20th 2007
36. I'm going to bet that he's a Republican too, since that's usually the point of all the Young Turks blogs, is that Republicans are evil, right?

37. I'm almost confused at how my response should be stated, but here it goes.... Wow , I need a better paying job!!!
I wonder if now there will be a college course available for Sex Cave interior design or something like that??

38. Keeping it underground would certainly seem to provide lots of advantages:
Nosy neighbors would not see whats going on.
No one could hear the partying
Privacy assured
Great bang for the buck-(pun intended)
No threat of discovery unless an informant spoils the fun.
Drugged up ho's could crash in piece_(oopsie, I meant peace)
Hey is this place now going on the market? Or has the ex-Mrs. now obtained the rights of ownership-if so - is she throwing parties? How do we get an invite?

39. This is a great example of the old adage "Money can't buy happiness" Having to stoop to such base beahvior is totally pathetic.This is not a happy, fullfilled person. (Lets see..Liar, cheat, druggie, whoremaster...this is someone SEARCHING. Alas, he will NEVER have happiness of peace unless he gets help and STOPS. Even more so, the attitiude that this fine!! Alarming! HElllooooooom this guy is a TOTAL LOSER....druggie and whoremaster. Maybe he wouldn't need all this debauchery if he did something GOOD for others. Not funny- this is SICK behavior.

43. Five years ago, I constructed a "Treehouse of Tail" where I kept several runaway college cheerleaders by luring them with Wonder Bras and malt liquor.
I took it down because I couldn't stand the contant "We've got spirit, yes we do, we've got spirit How bout you?" cheers.
