Shkreli claimed on a 2024 podcast that he had “burned the album and sent it to like, 50 different chicks”—and that this had been extremely good for his sex life.

I find that statement suspect.

    Why? Dude is definitely laying pipe simply because he is wealthy. Remember that reporter who covered the trial and interviewed him in prison, she started a relationship with him and immediately divorced her husband. Then Skreli dumped her the moment he got out. That broad definitely only gave him head to get ahead in life.

      Can you imagine being married to someone, having a family with them, they get a really cool project at work that exposes them to some billionaire. Then they realise that a short relationship with a billionaire will get them further ahead in life than a lifetime of being with you and they drop your whole family just like that. There is nothing you can do because it’s true, you’ll never be able to offer them anything close to what they have access to. Convincing them into staying with you means fundamentally holding them back, forcing them into a life of regrets and what ifs.

      Fucking brutal.
