Simon Ove Christian Ogilvie Spies (1 September 1921 – 16 April 1984) was a Danish tycoon, best known for founding the charter airline Spies Rejser, and its airway company Conair of Scandinavia. Spies Rejser is today owned by Petter Stordalen.
Spies Rejser was opened in 1956 and would soon become a huge success along with the competitor Tjæreborg. In the beginning they arranged cheap bus/boattrips to Majorca, but later (in the early 1960s) Spies bought the bankrupt Danish charter operator Flying Enterprise and formed his own airline, Conair of Scandinavia.
Simon Spies was known for his provocative views and flamboyant lifestyle. He was famous for employing at his private residence so-called morgenbolledamer, or morning fuck ladies / morning bun ladies, using the pun that "bolle" means both "fuck" and "bun". In 2022, the documentary series Spies og morgenbolledamerne (Spies and the Morning Bun Ladies) by Danish public broadcaster DR detailed the treatment of the morgenbolledamer by Spies, based on the testimonies of former employees and his close friends. It alleged that Spies paid for sexual services from the girls, most of whom were between the ages of 15 and 18, and that if they refused to have sex with him, or if they grew too old, then they were replaced. It also stated that he carried out physical violence against them, paying tens of thousands of kroner to them in exchange for being allowed to beat them or break their arms.
When going to the theatre he would usually buy three tickets, leaving one seat for his cane and one for his dog Archibald.
On 11 May 1983, he married Janni Brodersen, who inherited his companies when he died less than a year later. In 2013, a movie about his career was made.
