Italian model offers virginity for $1.5M

ROME, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- An Italian model and former "Big Brother" cast member says she is selling her virginity for nearly $1.5 million.

Raffella Fico, 20, an aspiring actress who appeared on the Italian version of "Big Brother" this year, told the celebrity magazine Chi she will have sex for the first time with a man willing to pay $1,419,595 for the honor, ANSA reported Tuesday.

"I can't wait to see who's going to pull out the money to have me," she said. "I don't know what it's like to have sex."

Fico said despite her high asking price for her virginity, she plans to be choosy about the buyer.

"If I don't like him I'll just have a glass of wine and forget about it," she said.

Fico's brother was quoted by Chi as backing up his sister's claims of sexual purity.

"She's never had a boyfriend. I swear on my mother's grave," he told the magazine. "She's a devout Catholic and prays to Padre Pio every night."
