Religious leaders being involved in sex-crazed parties isn’t a surprise. In 1501 Pope Alexander VI decided to organize a huge party for Roman nobility and Catholic Church officials. There was a feast of meat and wine before old mate Alexander introduced 50 sex workers to the party. These ladies jumped up onto the tables and performed stripteases for all in attendance. While everybody was no doubt frothing at the mouth at the chance to spend the evening with these women, Alexander stepped things up by declaring whoever slept with the most ladies of the night would win a prize. 

There is no record of the prize or who won, but there is doubt all those who participated enjoyed themselves.

They were treated to gallons of champagne and of course, Ciroc vodka, Diddy’s own brand. Al Green even performed an intimate showcase for all those in attendance. 

The guest list was a who’s who of the entertainment world, with Jay-Z and Beyonce, Bono, Martha Stewart, Kim Kardashian, and Spike Lee just some of the big names who attended. The party cost around $3 million, which Diddy paid for out of his own pocket.
