Meet the British women who are experts at rinsing wealthy older men for cash

A NEW documentary offers a glimpse into the lives of the shameless professional gold diggers who rely on rich and famous men to finance their lavish lifestyles.

A Channel 5 documentary, called ‘I’m a Gold-Digger and Proud’, follows the lives of the women who make a fortune by latching on to wealthy older men.

And the show also examines the life of one millionaire who is a magnet for these gorgeous young gold diggers.

One such woman is Laura Boylan, a 31-year-old self-styled “smart gold digger” from Liverpool who knows exactly how to get what she wants from the wealthy men she hunts down online.

She spends plenty of time and money making sure that she looks as good as possible for the men she meets, after luring them in with suggestive photos on her social media profiles.

She says: “If I invest in myself then they’re going to invest in me.

“If I spend £250 to get ready then I could walk away with an £8,000 watch.

“If you do the maths it’s definitely an investment.

“Just make sure that you look a million dollars for them, and then they’ll all want to spend a million dollars on you.”

Inevitably, her wealthy dates spend a fortune lavishing her with gifts, although she always cuts it off before anything gets physical.

She says: “The more they think they’re going to have you, the more they will spend.

“It’s like the chase – they’ll just keep giving you gifts and giving you gifts until they think they’re going to have you.

“And then I’ll probably block them and move on.”

She even gets any tokens of affection valued so she can work out whether her suitors are rich enough to be worth a second date, and she has no regrets about her gold digger lifestyle.

She says: “One guy I’ve been dating wants to marry me so he’s getting me an engagement ring for £33,000.

“Obviously I’m going to take the ring but I’m not going to get engaged to him.

“I never feel bad about doing it to men because men would do worse to me if they could.”

And this pro gold digger even has contacts in Liverpool’s high end club scene who warn her whenever anyone rich or famous is due to make an appearance so she can cash in on any big-spending clubbers.

But whilst Laura juggles multiple men, 46-year-old Noelie Goforth is happy to dig from just the one goldmine – her minted third husband.

She struck gold 15 years ago when she met Robin, a 67-year-old multi-millionaire who she has spent the last seven years married to.

And Noelie, a former shop girl from Doncaster, enjoys being spoilt by Robin, whose stunning 110 acre estate she expects to inherit one day.

Proud of the way she splashes her man’s money, Noelie doesn’t even carry cash on her when she’s out shopping, since she knows her husband will always pick up the tab.

And she also relies on her millionaire man to fund her love of cosmetic surgery, which has seen her rack up a £200,000 bill in the years since she’s been with him.

I’d dig for diamonds. I wouldn’t be so cheap as to dig for gold.

But although he regularly takes her on £20,000 shopping sprees and provides her with at least 3 luxury holidays every year, Noelie insists she’s not just with him for his riches.

She jokes: “I’d dig for diamonds.

“I wouldn’t be so cheap as to dig for gold.”

But she doesn’t mind when people call her a gold digger, and she even went so far as to buy a genuine golden digger emblazoned with her nickname, ‘The Duchess of Doncaster.’

The show also follows the life of one wealthy man who attracts plenty of interest from younger girls.

Super-rich businessman Mark Vanderpump, uses his wealth to pick up beautiful young women online and in night clubs, where he often DJs.

After recently coming out of a 22-year marriage, 56-year-old Mark is back playing the field – using his money to attract women much younger than himself.

And he doesn’t even care that the women on his arm are only after one thing.

He says: “I have lots of girlfriends.

“I enjoy the company of women.

“I’m dating four or five women at a time.”

One of his dates, who he met in a club and lavishes with gifts, fine wine and expensive meals out, claimed she wasn’t a gold digger.

She says: “I’m not a gold digger.

“But it was money which attracted me to Mark.

“I probably have led him on to make him believe something is going to happen, but generally I am attracted to the lifestyle he lives.”

I'm not a gold digger. But it was money which attracted me to Mark.

But Mark confesses he is looking for more than just a date, as he is desperate for a more meaningful relationship.

His search for love sees him fly 27-year-old Rosana over from her native Brazil for a weekend of shopping and fine dining in Essex, where he lives.

He lavishes money on her, picking out dresses he likes for her to try on, before splashing out on the designer outfits.

After a stint in a pricey dress shop, Mark buys Rosana a diamond necklace and earrings, before taking her for dinner at an exclusive restaurant.

When the time comes for her to return to South America, both her and Mark are visibly upset to be parting ways.

But it’s difficult to know for sure whether it’s her millionaire date or the diamond jewellery she’s so sad to be leaving behind.

Gold Digger and Proud airs on Channel 5 on Thursday, 10pm, but be sure to hold on to your wallets, because these women are pros who know exactly how to get what they want.
