A teenager from the US has spoken of how delighted she is after selling her virginity to a businessman from Abu Dhabi for more than £2 million.

The 19-year-old student, named only as Giselle, decided to sell her first sexual experience via German website Cinderella Escorts. The auction site revealed the highest bidder had been a businessman from the Middle East, who paid €2.5 million for the experience. He is reported to have outbid a Hollywood actor and a Russian politician, reports the Evening Standard.

And according to reports, the teenager was chuffed with the sale. She said: "I would never have dreamt that the bid would rise so high and we would have reached 2.5 million euros. This is a dream come true."

The young woman apparently plans to use the money to pay for her university tuition, to go travelling, and to buy a house.

Giselle also had a thing or two to say to anyone who disapproves of her decision to sell her virginity. "I think the trend to sell your virginity is a form of emancipation and I am shocked about people who are against allowing a woman to sell HER virginity.

"If I want to spend my first time with someone who is not my first love, that’s my decision."

According to METRO, Giselle will speak to the man she'll lose her virginity to before the deed is done, and she is free to change her mind and cancel at any time. When the time comes for the pair to have sex, Giselle will be accompanied by security from the escort agency to a pre-decided location, and they will stay nearby for the duration.

This isn't the first time Cinderella Escorts has hit headlines; 18-year-old Aleexandra from Romania last year spoke on TV about her plans to auction off her virginity in this way. Appearing on This Morning, Aleexandra told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield she was doing it to raise money for her parents to stay in their home. "I am thinking it is strictly business, not emotional," she said.
