Imagine having a cash slave, someone who takes pleasure in you draining their bank account, or emptying their wallet of brand new, yellow, $50 notes for seemingly very little in return?
Well, these people exist, and they're known as fin subs or cash pigs, but what exactly do they want in return?
Lucky DeVille, 26, from Sydney, had worked in the adult industry as a dancer and a webcam performer before she found her niche as one of Australia's premier fin dommes; a financial dominatrix.
British-born DeVille can earn between $1000 to $3000 per week in financial power exchanges with men that only want to give her their cold hard cash.
"The idea of financial domination is that the sub worships you," DeVille said.

At work, DeVille goes by the name Goddess DeVille.
"Finsubs receive joy by paying for your existence. To them, you are a higher being, and they are giving sacrifice to their goddess," she said.
According to DeVille, there are finsubs who are purely interested in the financial transactions and enjoy the rush of sending money to a complete stranger.
For others, financial domination overlaps into paying to play out their wildest fetishes.
"You're essentially selling attention and conversation and catering to their kink online," DeVille said.

While you may think this subject of BDSM is fairly niche, judging by Twitter, there is a thriving community out there consisting of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
Most of DeVille's clients are Aussie men who come from all walks of life.
"When it comes to domination, people are under the impression that submissives are always in highly-paid, high-pressure positions, however that isn't always true," she said.
"It could be a judge, a doctor, a businessman, or a tradie.
"It could be a young guy going through university or a man who has just retired."
According to DeVille, being a submissive is more of a state of mind among clients who truly enjoy "the feeling of degradation and giving up their power".
In this case, she says, it's their financial power.
NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED
DeVille says the job isn't an easy, pretty girl, get-rich-quick scheme.
"Some subs like to send me pictures of themselves, but this is only acceptable if I have been well compensated. I shouldn't have to look at that for free."
Another practice is when a fin sub asks his mistress to take over full control of his finances. "The mistress literally has control of his bank account, pay cheque and assets," she said.
"Then she doles out enough money so he can cover the bare necessities of life. In his mind, he is suffering for a greater purpose."
When asked if there was an element of exploitation in her practice, DeVille denied it, claiming both parties are "consenting adults".
"If they weren't sending their money to me, they'd be sending it to someone else," she reasoned.
"At the end of the day, I'm not seeking them out, they are coming to find me."
"Some unscrupulous dommes have caused untold financial damage," she said.
"The subs send them all of their savings. It can very destructive.
"This is another person's life you're dealing with, so you've got to be responsible."
She said it was important fin dommes were able to say no to money so their clients "don't do real damage to their lives" while pursuing their fantasies.
