A grandma who has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on plastic surgery to stay looking young says she earns as much as $18,000 (£14,500) per night as an escort, despite her children hating her job.
Sila Star has spent a whopping $150,000 (£121,260) on plastic surgery to try and 'maintain her looks and youth' in an effort to always look her best for her clients. She's had multiple boob jobs, a face lift, neck lift, brow lift, lip lift, and tummy tuck to name a few.
The grandmother-of-two, from Miami, Florida, has worked as an escort for more than 25 years, and while she makes thousands of dollars per night, she's admitted her three kids aren't the biggest fans of her line of work.
The 54-year-old wishes her family "understood" her choice of profession, but has no plans to retire any time soon as she's having too much "fun" and raking in the cash along the way.
"My kids hate that I'm an escort - but they're not paying the bills", she told Truly in a video. "I do wish that my kids could understand that this is a career that I've chosen and that it has supported them their entire lives, and that it's not as bad as they think it is.
"Because my children don't like my job I try to keep that very separated and not involve them in any way, or even try to talk about it too much to respect them."
Sila began her career as a waitress in a strip club beofre going on to become an escort, model and content creator. She explained: "I didn't even think that I would want to become a stripper, and then that progressed."
She says what she "loves about being an escort" is the "freedom" as well as "meeting really fun and interesting people".
"A lot of clients come to me for the cougar experience," Sila explained. "My clientele varies, anywhere from CEOs to pro athletes, celebrities, anywhere from 80-years-old down to 20-years-old.
"What I really love about the younger clients is they're so much fun, they like to go out and have a good time, they have really good stamina, and they're hot."
It's not a cheap job to fund either, between the plastic surgery and designer clothes, Sila spends on average $20,000 - $25,000 (£20,200- £16,170) per month. And her wardrobe shows just how lavish the lifestyle is.
She has an impressive collection of designer clothes and shoes, though admits a lot of them are gifts. "I get a lot of expensive gifts from men," she explained. "I actually have a whole other storage unit full [of clothes and shoes]."
For Sila, though, the cost is worth it, as she said: "It's important to spend a lot on my appearance so I can maintain my looks and my youth for my career."
But there are downsides. Besides her family's discomfort at her line of work, Sila explains there's a "stigma" that comes along with being an escort.
"A lot of people are judgemental and they don't really know the true benefits and how I really help a lot of people's lives," she explained.
She went on to say: "People like to assume that I'm a bimbo, but I'm not a bimbo. A bimbo is somebody that has no intelligence but is attractive - but I'm actually very intelligent and attractive.
"I don't mind negative comments, I just kind of see that as a reflection on themselves and their own insecurities. I feel very confident with myself, and most people that get to know me really like me because I'm a good person."
Looking to the future, Sila said she's not sure when she'll retire as she's "having a lot of fun right now."
The content creator, who shares saucy snaps in bikini and lingerie with more than 92,000 Instagram followers, revealed she has been married "a few times".
"The first marriage, I was very young and he was much older than I was," she explained.
"My second marriage was to the father of my children - that was a great experience and we're still very good friends. Then I had a couple other marriages, we had a lot of fun, but that just didn't last."
Sila went on to say she's enjoying the freedom of single life, but admits that it can become a little lonely without a "companion" by her side.
"I do enjoy being single, I'm pretty independent, I wanna do what I want, when I want," she said. "Sometimes I will admit it can get a little bit lonely, it would be nice to have a companion, but we'll see what happens."
