Since arriving in Los Angeles for this month’s World Cup, sleep has been a scarce luxury for Claudia.
However, it isn’t the thrilling matches that have captivated her attention in the City of Angels.
Claudia, a high-end escort hailing from London, has been enjoying her own form of success, earning upwards of $10,000 daily. She caters to wealthy, soccer-obsessed individuals who are keen to flaunt their opulence during what she describes as ‘super intense’ dates at the city’s most luxurious venues.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Claudia reminisced about a particularly memorable evening spent in a lavish suite at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, where rooms can cost around $12,000 per night. ‘It was wild, very beautiful, next level opulence,’ she reflected.
With a starting rate of $2,000 for a two-hour engagement that includes companionship, dinner, and intimacy, Claudia finds that the World Cup’s affluent spectators are more than willing to meet her price.
‘I like to go to a Michelin star because it’s very entertaining, they bring out the food like it’s a ritual, and you get a lot of emotions before you taste the food and that builds up to intimacy and connection.’
The clients paying her top dollar, however, are not just fans of football.
Claudia also revealed that many of her ‘flashy encounters’ in LA have been with several well-known soccer players who traveled for the games.

‘I wouldn’t say they are A-listers, but they are of significance,’ she said, adding that non-disclosure agreements bar her from revealing their nationalities or other identifying traits.
‘They’re nice, they’re tall, they’re the full package.’
Claudia, speaking candidly with the Daily Mail, asked that her real name and age be withheld because she is not legally permitted to work in the US, and because escorts have faced trouble with the law while in the States.
Lucy Huxley, a Canadian escort based in Berlin, claimed she was indefinitely banned from entering the US in 2017 after being stopped by border agents while traveling from Germany to Minnesota.
She claimed in a TikTok post that she was detained, questioned and had her phone searched. When officers discovered social media accounts where she openly discussed her sex work, she claimed she was deported.
During the games, sex workers have been caught in busts around host stadiums. Over the weekend, eight people in NJ were arrested in a prostitution sting just miles away from Metlife Stadium.
While many traveling escorts and their clients have run into legal trouble, Claudia’s experience has been very lucrative.
Since arriving in Los Angeles, Claudia’s met clients at the Chateau Marmont, Bel Air, and Waldorf Astoria hotels in Beverly Hills.

She’s also been on dates at Manuela, a farm-to-table eatery in LA’s Arts District, and Bottega Louie, an upscale Italian place in West Hollywood favored by stars such as the Kardashians, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Lopez.
While working clients in hottest spots in the city, other working girls are easy to spot.
‘Everywhere I go in LA I identify working girls because I can understand the dynamics of the relationship,’ she said.
‘People would never know that’s an escort meeting a client because not everyone looks as flashy as me. Some girls look really normal, they are brunettes with brown hair, no work done, girl next door looks.’
Most of her World Cup clients are Americans, Claudia said, adding that the fans supporting the home team are much shyer than the men she meets in Europe.
‘If they ask you to do something taboo, they are often shy about it. It’s kind of like talking to a teddy bear,’ she said.
Many of her American clients requested to be pegged after their World Cup dates.
‘A lot of them ask me to use a strap-on. I think it’s a type of relaxation for them, something they don’t normally get in their home life.’
The key to their hearts and wallets, she said, is being ‘a good companion to make them feel seen.’

Claudia recalled arriving for a Sunday date last week at a trendy LA restaurant wearing heels only to find that she towered over her wealthy four-foot-eight client.
‘It was double the work to make him feel comfortable because he wasn’t feeling comfortable,’ she said.
Her British and German clients, however, are less interested in companionship, and are much more direct.
‘They know exactly what they want,’ she said.
‘You get to spank them, you get to tell them what to do. They want to be told where to stand, what position to be in, and if they want something new they have to ask nicely for it.’
Claudia’s dates with soccer stars are ‘very sexual, less based on companionship and more on the intimacy part.’
‘I don’t think they have the time or the patience. If they really enjoy it and they want to book you again, then they start wanting to get to know you a bit more,’ Claudia said.
‘They want a lot of intimacy, maybe they have a lot of tension to release.’
Among her biggest spenders are wealthy clients from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who she referred to as her ‘precious clients’.
‘They want total domination but they are respectful, and if you don’t provide it they don’t ask again.’
Whether it’s companionship or a quick dinner date, her hourly rate remained the same. With tips, she can make as much as $3,000 an hour.

The month-long tournament, spread across the US, Mexico and Canada, has attracted a host of celebrities and billionaires and created what some in the sex trade view as a golden opportunity to cash in.
An estimated 9,000 European sex workers traveled to North America for the tournament, according to a survey by adult platform Erobella.
Another 22,000 said they were considering making the trip. Nearly half of those were heading to Los Angeles, with the rest split between New York and Dallas or following games from city to city.
The demand is so great for high-end models that some agencies are openly marketing football-themed services.
One company, GFEBox, advertises itself as a ‘premium companionship agency’ for wealthy football fans, offering overnight stays, weekend bookings and travel companions across New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Washington, DC, from $2,500 a day.
On escort directory sites, escorts have begun adding football emojis to their profiles and advertising availability around match dates in host cities.
While prestige escorts have enjoyed a windfall, not everyone in the industry is celebrating.
One New York-based escort told the Daily Mail that her business had actually slowed during the tournament.
She said soaring hotel prices, flights and ticket costs meant that fans had little discretionary spending power left.
‘Fans are already getting royally f***ed by the ticket prices,’ she said.
