One of Hong Kong's wealthiest men has placed a "marriage bounty" on his lesbian daughter's head, offering nearly £40 million to the man who successfully woos her.
Property magnate Cecil Chao Sze-tsung announced the HK$500 million reward this week after reports that his 33-year-old daughter Gigi Chao, a University of Manchester graduate, had married her long-term female partner in France.
"I don't mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted," Mr Chao told the South China Morning Post, describing reports about his daughter's marriage as "false".
The extravagant tycoon's offer blended Blind Date and The Apprentice with Mr Chao claiming he hoped to help the successful suitor kick-start a business.
He told the South China Morning Post the prize money was "an inducement to attract someone who has the talent but not the capital to start his own business".
"Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work," he added.
According to the report however, Ms Chao married Sean Eav, her girlfriend of seven years, in France on April 4. A photograph posted on Ms Chao's public Facebook page confirmed that she and her partner were Paris-bound in April this year. "Going to Paris to buy a few businesses," read the caption to a picture apparently taken in the first class section of a plane.

Superficial beauty is not everything in a relationship.
For $65M I could probably squint.

I see this as the next wave of reality TV shows....
She married Yoko Ono????
But, but... Johnny. You are a confirmed bachelor. You wouldn't compromise yourself and get married for no $65 million. Would you?
She couldn't live here, though. No-one disturbs my stuff.

As if... Ono WISHES she could look that good. Actually, I think that's Sean Ono she married.
I can’t believe so many people on this thread do not find her attractive. I think she’s quite not guilty.
Is that Yoko Ono? Isn’t it bad enough she broke up the Beatles...now this???
Sean Ono is the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
I’d need to see DNA evidence to be convinced that the old piece of shoe leather standing beside her is actually a female. Yikes!

I agree. As Chinese go, she's def. in the top 10%. I've seen a LOT worse.
I’ll never understand it....if they are supposedly attracted to women, why do they wind up with someone who looks more masculine than most men? Why not just go for the real thing?
Being attracted to a beautiful feminine-looking woman, that I can understand.
in that case i shall apply forthwith!
I always thought Ric had a bit too much “Flair”, if you know what I mean...
