A Pimp With a Heart - Entry #10

Dennis Hof has more then 500 woman working for his Brothels in Nevada. But he didn't make news for owning a brothel, instead it was for being a pimp with a heart. A brothel, for those of you who don't know, is a house where men can go to visit prostitutes. At Hof's Moonlite Bunny Ranch Brothel many of his employee's came into this line of work for one main reason; College. Trying to get an education costs an arm and a leg these days, which has led many woman into these kinds of jobs.

Many of these woman have racked up to $40,000 in student loans. Hof said that 18% of his workers are in debt due to these loans. This inspired Him to begin his student loan program. The student loan program is where Hof reviews how much debt a worker is in and they decide how much percent he will match. For many of the girls he matches back 50%. One of his workers, Krissy Summers, was in debt by $45,000 and after working at the Moonline Bunny Ranch she was debt free in 60's days. In just 4 months, Hof has helped 6 of his employees get rid of their debt. But there's something particular about Dennis Hof. Unlike other "pimps" Hof promotes education. He helps his workers start school, pay it off, and then he helps them with finding a job for what they went to school for. And of course his business man side comes out, he always has open arms if they ever want to come back.

Dennis is an reminder that you can be a businessman and still be able to help others out. Even with him working in such a terrible industry, he's still trying to help someone out.
