Mick Jagger negotiated 'cheapest deals' with prostitutes

London, May 17 (ANI): Mick Jagger may presently have a personal fortune of nearly 200 million pounds but back in the 1970s, the singer counted the pennies even when it came to prostitutes, according to a new book.

Jagger apparently negotiated cheap deals with hookers whilst the Rolling Stones were touring around the world.

U.S. author Debra Sharon Davis, whose book 'Backstage Pass VIP' lays bare the secrets of some of the world's most famous celebrities, asserted that Jagger was 'fixated on the bottom line' and hated feeling like he was being ripped off - even when it came to paying for sex.

In an interview she said that even though in the 1970s the Rolling Stones were one of the most popular bands in the world, Jagger closely monitored how much they spent.

"Jagger outlined what he was willing to pay as if he were negotiating the details of a world tour - micro-managing the transactions with call girls in Europe," the Daily Mail quoted Davis as saying.

"Equal to music Jagger loved negotiating. His greatest respect was for businessmen who made a lot of money.

"For Jagger, a conservative, male chauvinist, it was how he defined manhood. Like almost all decisions, Jagger addressed the problem fiscally."

Davis insisted that Jagger, 68, never really liked paying for sex and could never properly relax because he felt he was being overcharged.

"The ultimate CEO. Jagger worried about lawsuits from strange women. He was fixated on the bottom line," she said.

"Jagger made a packed indoor stadium of rowdy kids wait nearly an hour (before he came out) while he calculated box office receipts because he remembered financial inaccuracies years before," she added. (ANI)
