Wouldn't you rather be "moral but poor and have integrity" than "rich and low on morals and integrity"?
My morals and integrity would recover, over time, from one wrongful act.
I may judge this young woman harshly for her plans, but even I understand that she will not be a whore forever.

I'm seeing hypocrisy, misogyny, an evil delight in using the basest insults against this woman...
It just so happens that the basest insults the English language holds are used to describe the behaviors that this women intends to engage in-- and they apply just as well, and even more derogatorily, to men who engage in the same behaviors.
A person who sells their sex is a whore.
But I will agree with you that the animosity directed against her in this thread is growing ridiculous. This is practically an Orwellian minute of hate.

Whatever, it's her right.
What right? I recognize no such right, and know of no official governing body that recognizes such a right. At best, the governments that tolerate this tolerate it only under strict regulation-- and reserve the prerogative to shut it down at any time.
I think the real issue is why would anyone want to pay this ugly, ugly woman for sex? Let alone THREE MILLION DOLLARS!?!? I seriously wouldn't have sex with this woman for free. She'd have to pay me if anything.
Don't be ridiculous. This is not an unattractive woman. She is merely doing an ugly, ugly thing.

I'm sorry, but how is it not right? According to whom? It's an agreement between two consenting adults.
It is not right because sex is an inherently personal act, and to commoditize, package, and market it otherwise is detrimental to all parties involved. It does not matter that they are "consenting adults"-- there are other parties involved, who are also damaged by the consequences of their actions.

It is a lot of resentment to hold for someone you do not know and who has no real impact on anyone else's life what-so-ever.
I do not resent her nearly as much as others in this thread. I resent what she is doing, and the attitude with which she is doing it. If anything, I resent the people defending her conduct more than I resent her-- though with the conduct of some of the people
agreeing with me, I am forced to extend a grudging acknowledgment.
Do you feel you have a right to control people like her? If so, what gives you that right?
I feel I have the right to condemn behaviors that I find unacceptable, and to work together with those who agree with me to have those behaviors outlawed. I have that right because, like all people, I have opinions and the capacity to express and advocate them.
Why do you really feel so strongly about it? Why be so against people who are enjoying themselves with no harm to anyone else?
I resent the implication of this question. I have made abundantly clear why I object to this behavior and why I feel so strongly about that objection. And I reject your notion that the parties to this transaction are not causing harm; not only are they causing harm to themselves, but they are causing harm to their respective families and to society itself.
The fact that she is going into a field like marriage counseling, with infidelity being the #1 cause of divorce, suggests also that she will be doing far more harm in the future.
I think people like you are harboring bad emotions towards other people. maybe your heart was broken by a woman, so you hate all women. Maybe you do not get laid, so you hate all women. Etc, etc.
I think it's easier for people like you to make baseless speculations about someone else's motives than to examine the arguments they have plainly stated-- and to consider for a moment that your own hedonistic and hyper-individualized moral beliefs are deeply flawed.
