Knott, Matthew Hammett.

A class of their own : adventures of a tutor to the super rich / Matthew Hammett Knott. - London : Trapeze, 2022. - Hardback 23 cm.

A naked Russian oligarch is spanking me in his basement. His weapon is a birch branch, the setting his luxurious home sauna. Above us is 30,000 square feet of one of Moscow's most obscene private homes, an original Damien Hirst above the fireplace, a vacuum cleaning system built into the skirting boards. Invisible speakers serenade us with a desolate pan pipe cover of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'. A light display rotates kaleidoscopically, illuminating the oligarch's genitals in a variety of unexpected hues. Everyone is silent. Then the oligarch's son Nikita looks at me with a mysterious smile. 'Now my mother will bring us honey.' Matt Knott spent over a decade traveling the globe as a private tutor. With brilliant honesty and wit, he takes us inside a world most of us only glimpse speeding past in a luxury SUV.
