Ric Flair claims that he has slept with 10,000 women
Ric Flair’s ravenous appetite for booze wasn’t the only thing he had going.
The 68-year-old claims he shudders at the prospect of his grandkids learning that he slept with around 10,000 women over the course of his career, a revelation he made to ESPN’s 30 for 30 in a special set to run in November.
When you sit down and do the math—TMZ Sports did it and discovered that Flair would have had to sleep with approximately four women every week starting at the age of 15 to reach 10,000—that’s a startling amount, and it just adds to Flair’s legend.
Flair was known for referring to his penis as Space Mountain and inviting ladies to ride with him.
“What I said was the truth, but I feel bad now that I said some of it. Ten thousand women,” says Flair, who discusses his legendary wrestling career and current health challenges in this week’s issue and on PEOPLETV.

He says, “I wish I hadn’t said that because of my grandkids.”
TMZ also spoke with porn icon Ron Jeremy, a man who is paid to have sex with women but hasn’t come close to matching Flair’s number, and Jeremy cast considerable doubt on the Nature Boy’s claim. “I think he’s lying,” Jeremy concluded. “It’s very difficult to get numbers like that.”
Flair went on to clarify that while he still considers himself a ladies man, he is dedicated to Wendy Barlow, his partner.
He stated, “I only love one [woman] now. I have never done anything since I met Wendy.”
Barlow has been credited with assisting him in reducing his habitual alcohol intake, and he was at his side in August when the former wrestler was placed in an induced coma after coming dangerously near to succumbing to congestive heart failure.
To many, though, Ric Flair will always be associated with his “stylin’ and profilin'” ways.
“I was bling before bling was bling,” Flair says, displaying his two gold rings, a Rolex watch, and gold necklaces.
“It’s going to be a hard sell overnight to say that ‘Hey, Ric Flair has changed,” he says. “It’s going to take time, it’s going to take proof.”
Flair, on the other hand, claims that his playboy tendencies have lessened after reuniting with Barlow.
“But it’s still hard for me not to be me,” he says. ” But I’m really focused on getting well and just enjoying my life with Wendy.”
Flair revealed the shocking degree of his former alcohol consumption earlier this month, saying that he drank “like 20 drinks a day” at his peak.
“I’ve done all the math and figured it out with my accountant,” Flair told ESPN’s “Dan Le Batard Show.” “Between 3,700 and 4,000 calories worth of booze, soda, a splash of cranberry in my body every day, in like 20 drinks a day.”
