Aristocratic Black Sheep Becomes Porn Baron

UNITED KINGDOM – A baron from a long line of British statesmen has reportedly chosen a life of porn rather than follow in the family's aristocratic footsteps.

Thirty-six-year-old Jasper Duncombe, the oldest son and heir of Lord Feversham, has risked losing a $64 million (U.S.) family inheritance to become a pornographer. Duncombe is reportedly one of the UK's most successful pornographers to date.

The black sheep, commonly referred to as the 'porn baron,' grew up at his family's 13,000-acre estate in North Yorkshire. He attended private school with Prince Edward, and according to the Independent News, his ancestors include Sir Charles Duncombe, an 18th-century Mayor of London, and Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, a radical Chartist supporter during the 1840s.

After being ex-communicated from his family for his career choice, the young baron launched a paysite site called RelishXXX.com, a hardcore oral site that sells Relish films and a variety of other fetish content. Relish XXX also sells content to Playboy TV and handles a distribution supply network to countrywide video stores.

Duncombe's site was reportedly launched with only a few thousand dollars and got its start with a porn film called "To The Manor Porn."

Duncombe's porn empire is now worth an estimated $7 million (U.S.), and his latest venture is a porn vending machine chain that reportedly dispenses porn videos and DVDs to public restrooms.

But the black sheep hasn't always been involved in successful business ventures. According to the Independent News, Duncombe's eccentric past includes a three-year jail sentence in 1993 for attempted robbery charges. According to reports, the baron's lawyer argued that his client suffered from post-traumatic stress syndrome from the death of his mother to a drug overdose.

"I've drawn a line under that part of my life," the baron told the Independent News. "I was completely off the rails and did one or two things I shouldn't have, but that is all behind me now. I'm looking forward to the future, and the potential of Relish XXX."

Duncombe recently went public with RelishXXX. The baron and his business partner retain a 30 percent share of the company.
