I’ve made half a million as a sugar baby – I don’t accept less than $1000 per date and men buy me first class flights
A SELF-CONFESSED “sugar baby” travels the world for free vacations – while getting her clients to pay for her first-class plane tickets and has made $500k.
Palmar Kelly, 27, has been to Atlanta City, Las Vegas in the US, Mexico, Paris, and Italy with her “sugar daddies” – an older wealthy man who pays a younger woman in exchange for her company or sexual favors.
The clients pay for her flight and vacation and she gets paid up to $5k for each trip while being treated to fine dining and drinks.
Palmar became a sugar baby after starting stripping as a side hustle while she was at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts College studying acting in New York City.
She used the $700 to $1,000 she earned each night to pay for her headshots and auditions.
When she started dating sugar daddies, Palmar got paid around $300-a-date before realizing she could up her prices – and wouldn’t accept less than $1k-a-date now in New York.
Palmar started getting invited on holidays with her sugar daddies and her most recent trip was a cruise to the Bahamas with a man age 57 – who paid $4k for her company – to her rent.
But Palmar said her vacations are not always what they are cracked up to be – after she had to leave her Italian trip, she was on with a married couple when they started arguing.
Palmar, a sex worker, actor, and screenwriter, from Cocoa Beach, Florida, said: “You only live once. There is literally nothing to lose.
“I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. I was with him for six days. He’s amazing. He’s a super nice and respectful man.
“We had a balcony suit. We gambled a lot. It was a fun little trip. I’m so grateful this person paid for it.
“Everyone else paid for a cruise. I’m getting paid to be on the cruise. It’s a good job. I’ve probably made half a million dollars doing this.
“One year in New York I made $200k without even realizing.”
Palmar started dancing at a strip club in 2014, while she was at college, and could make between $700 and $1,000 in a night.
She was then introduced to sugar daddies and started going on dates with them to make more money.
She used the extra cash to support her career: “I used the money for auditions or to pay for headshots. I then started to do more sugar baby stuff.”
“I thought ‘I’m an actor – I could pretend to be someone’s girlfriend.”
Palmar would go on dates and trips with older men – usually between 37 and 45 – and says she was “grateful” to not have a 9-5 job or to be working in a bar or coffee shop scraping for cash.
The student explained that she also used the money to get her through school: “It was a survival thing for me.
Palmar moved to LA in March 2021 to pursue her screenwriting career but couldn’t find clients who would pay her as much.
She said: “In LA people wanted a hookup for $800.”
A year later, in November 2022, Palmar moved back to Cocoa Beach, Florida, after her brother, Aidan, 29, passed away due to suicide and has found stripping and dating sugar daddies lucrative again.
She went on a trip to Sicily, Italy, in July 2023 with a married couple who paid for her first-class plane ticket.
“A couple reached out to me on TikTok. They said ‘Oh my god, you seem so fun – me and my wife would love to meet up.’
“We met twice and then agreed to go on a 10-day trip. I said ‘I want to be flown first class and I didn’t want to pay for anything when I was there.’
“I asked to be paid $4k for the trip.”
But after two days in sunny Italy, Palmar found herself feeling “uncomfortable” amid the couple’s arguments and decided to leave.
Now she isn’t as fussed about being paid thousands and likes to go on dates and trips with her sugar daddies as part of her social life.
“I love to go out for dinner – I started seeing it as a social life,” she said.
“You can give me $300 – this is fun for me and exciting.”
One of her sugar daddies has taken her on 20 trips – paying her up to $5k each time.
She said: “He was so fun. He paid for all my travel and stuff.”
Palmar is now writing a TV show that focuses on her sex work adventures and their ups and downs.
She said: “If that’s what you want to do – don’t feel ashamed. I think it’s amazing.
“I don’t want anyone to feel ashamed for sex work – it can be fun.”
