He has a 1,300-acre estate and a nine-month supply of frozen sperm — now he just needs a “good breeder.”

Sir Benjamin Slade, 79, of Britain has made Tinder accounts, taken out newspaper ads and starred in a TV series all in an effort to find a wife to produce an heir — and a spare — for his multimillion-dollar fortune.

Scorpios, Guardian news-outlet readers and people from countries beginning with the letter ‘I’ or with green in the flag need not apply, Sir Benjamin said.

Well, ladies, have at it!

For those of you in Rio Linda, he's throwing women from Iran, Iraq, India, Indonesia, Israel, and Italy under the bus, because he doesn't want women from Ireland.

Also, it says he had an IVF child with a woman from the U.S. named Sarah Sunday Spain, but decided not to marry her or have anything to do with her child.

And he was married a long time ago, but he couldn't get along with the wife's 17 cats.

What's wrong with Scorpios?

Looks like an Ian Fleming character.

I guess he doesn’t want Welsh women either.

“Good Breeder” has an older title and a much better one—its called a wife. It has many perks that go with the job.

Other than being sex maniacs on demand and looking for a man with bucks ... nothing.

From personal experience, female Scorpios are the absolute worst. They will lie to your face and stab you in the back. Cancerians, Taureans and Virgos make the best wives.

Guy is crazy-prepared! Should make a guest appearance on "America's Funniest Preppers!"

I have a 12-acre estate (well, actually, it's just pastureland), and during an extreme cold snap I might have a two-day supply of frozen sperm while the thermal underwear is in the laundry, but...

Baronets were essentially introduced as a way to generate revenue for the crown by selling hereditary titles that mimicked knighthood but passed down through generations, without granting the full noble perks of a baron.

They are not part of the peerage; considered a form of hereditary knighthood

The dogs don’t seem to like him. I’ll take their word for it.

[MikelTackNailer]

because he doesn't want women from Ireland

For a nominal fee I will screen those for him.
