'Candyman' Travers Benyon provides rare behind-the-scenes look into life at his notorious mansion

What would you do if you had billions of dollars at your disposal? Perhaps you'd buy a mansion, travel the world, or invest in property. Or maybe you'd give loads of it to charity, build hospitals in poorer countries, and do whatever you could to help those less fortunate. If you did have billions, you could probably do all those things and still have enough spare change to bail out a small country of their national debt.

One man who does have those kinds of riches is Travers Beynon, the Australian business heir who is better known by the moniker "Candyman". However, as we all know by now, he isn't exactly reputed for his selfless acts.

But the Hugh Hefner wannabe claims that his life isn't all debauchery and hedonism; and he's got some interesting things to say about his views on women, too.

The businessman recently came under fire after it emerged that he had been encouraging women to get the name of his company - Free Choice - tattooed on their behinds, and his Instagram account was temporarily taken down as a result of him posting nude images of the guests at his "Freaks Unleashed" parties.

When this came to light, people who were formerly unaware of the Candyman took a look through the sorts of things he was posting, and were outraged at what they saw. There were pictures of women being walked like dogs on leashes, groups of naked women in the shower or in bed, and thousands of derogatory comments from followers who referred to the female subjects in the photos as "objects".

And yet, Beynon says he isn't disrespectful to women.

"They say that I degrade women, but when you have so many women like I do, you can’t afford to degrade women," 45-year-old Beynon said in an interview. "It’s not going to work."

"The only thing I could ever be accused of is being obsessed by women," he claims.

Beynon actually has daughters of his own, too, and says that - far from what the media makes out - his mansion isn't just a 24/7 party scene.

"I have four children, two from a previous marriage that I have sole custody of, which no-one really brings up, but as you can imagine for a father to have sole custody, I must have been alright in the judges' eyes," he said. "Two years I spent in the courts.

"If you come into the house during the day it is a normal family home."

Of course, though, he can't deny the nighttime activities.

"But late at night, in the bedroom and so forth, the lingerie comes out."

Beynon is actually married, too, but leads a polyamorous lifestyle and has several girlfriends living with him.

"In bed, there's four girls as an average. I often don't get much sleep," he explained. "What I'm like in business, life or sport, I'm like that in bed. They love my imagination and my creativity. You need that when you've got multiple girls."

There's no denying, then, that Beynon lives a lascivious lifestyle. Sure, he might have kids and spend time with them during the day - but we've all seen the pictures of what goes down at the Candy Shop Mansion when it's dark, and there's no hiding that sort of behavior when it's splashed across Instagram.
