By Jane Ridley. May 27, pm Updated July 26, am. Billionaire Saudi Arabian arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi is best known for his roles in some of the most infamous political scandals of the s. They include the Iran-Contra affair he was a key middleman in the arms-for-hostages exchange and accusations that he concealed funds alongside Philippines first lady Imelda Marcos.
Khashoggi was acquitted on federal charges of obstruction of justice and mail fraud after more serious charges of racketeering and conspiracy were dropped.
But the year-old, who now lives in Monaco, was also a womanizer with multiple wives and a bevy of beautiful girls at his beck and call. Among them was young American model Jill Dodd. Sitting on the bed in our Middle Eastern caftans, I knew it was only a matter of time before one of us leaned in for a kiss.
It was fashion modeling that allowed me to mingle with movers and shakers like Adnan. Before long, I was modeling swimsuits for magazines and catalogs. I joined a not-so-good local agency but then got lucky and signed with the prestigious Wilhelmina Models when I was I was a size 6 and curvier than most models of the time.
Nevertheless, I started getting high-profile jobs. The venue was Le Pirate, where long-haired, shirtless waiters strummed guitars and banged tambourines. A crackling bonfire, 20 feet high, lit up the night sky. It was so wild and decadent.
