Giselle, 19, was offered the staggering sum from an unidentified businessman in Abu Dhabi after he beat competition from the anonymous A-list actor.

A third man – said to be a Russian politician – also bid for the girl in the seedy auction.

The American model decided to sell her cherry using the site Cinderella Escorts, saying she wanted the money for tuition fees and to go travelling.

She said: “I would never have dreamed that the bid would rise so high and we would have reached 2.5 million euros.

"This is a dream come true."

The decision has caused a fierce debate online – with many people criticising her actions.

Giselle said selling her virginnity was a form of "emancipation" – meaning freedom.

But some netizens disagreed.

Maz Imaz wrote on Facebook: "Prostitution in its new form – under the banner of women's emancipation."

Paula Wilcock commented: "Wow, not much self respect there."

Clive Thomas said: "Obviously has no self respect."

Giselle said: “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.”

The teenager also revealed she is “happy to be part of this new trend” that “finally breaks the taboo about a woman’s virginity”.

A hotel room has now reportedly been booked for the deed to take place.

She will reportedly be accompanied by a security detail from Cinderella Escorts, who will be on-hand nearby while she has sex for the first time.

She will also meet the man before it happens and can pull out of the arrangement if she wants to.

A spokesman for Cinderella Escorts said: "On our website, you will find a video where girls from all over the world talk about the reasons to sell their virginity. Girls from Australia, Europe, Africa, North and South America. From Arab countries and Asian.

"This shows us that the desire to auction a virginity is no exception.

"And on the other hand, the high bidding for Giselle’s auction shows us how high the demand for virgins is. Business people from all over the world have been bidding."

Some people said it was up to Giselle if she wanted to sell her virginnity.

Martin Shields wrote on Facebook: "To be fair, if we are honest how many wait for their first love?

"I think if they can sell it and the woman is completely ok with doing it then why not?"

Mick Parkinson said: "Moral or not if the guy is stupid enough to pay 2 million good on her I say – set up for life."
