Two years after 77-year-old Hong Kong billionaire Cecil Chao Sze-Tsung offered a whopping $65 million (¥ 500M) to any man who could seduce, marry, and have children with his lesbian daughter, he is more than doubling that offer to sweeten the deal.
Over 20,000 potential suitors reportedly offered their hand to Chao’s daughter Gigi when the ridiculous offer made global headlines in 2012 and—surprise, dad!—not one of them could woo the young woman into heterosexuality. Among them were gay men, men offered by their wives, and a former George Clooney body double.
Like any reasonable billionaire, Gigi’s father believes she hasn’t found the right man because the offer just wasn’t large enough.
Chao’s latest offer, as reported by a Malaysian financial publication, is roughly $165M (¥ 1B). Gigi is still not having any of it.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
She told the South China Morning Post “I don’t think my dad’s offering of any amount of money would be able to attract a man I would find attractive.” She would, however, “befriend any man willing to donate huge amounts of money to my charity Faith in Love.”
Chao claims he’s only doing this so Gigi can have “a good marriage and children as well as inherit my business.” Gigi, ever the good sport, has asked her father to stop reporting these offers to the press.
As absurd as all this is, it’s sure to sweeten the plot of Borat brainchild Sacha Baron Cohen’s next greatest film, which is reportedly about Chao’s initial offer. How incredible would this be if it were just a two-year PR stint for a fictional film?

If I were her, I’d find a gay man, we’d get married after a few years, get in-vitro, have kids and split the $130m. End.

@Niall: LoL, I was just about the say the same thing. Hell, I’ll marry Gigi and we’ll do just that!

I was just going to say, I’ll put a ring on that bitch. For $165 million, forget in-vitro. I’d fuck her and we could have kids the old natural way. She could have a girlfriend, I could have a boyfriend, and we could live around the world until Big Poppa dies.

@Niall: No need to split it. She’d inherit the business which is worth way more than that.

This whole thing is a stunt.

@Niall: I like the way you think!

I’d marry her for a whole lot less than that, but only with the understanding that she would be free to have girlfriends on the side. What a creep her father is. It smacks of prostitution.

When I submitted my application I don’t think I was asking too much for him to charter the Queen Elizabeth 2 and have it take the Cape of Good Hope route (after picking me up in New York City). Once I arrived I was to be picked up in a 2013 six-door pearly white Rolls Royce with a Chinese Liberace look a like chauffer. I even promised him that I would bitch slap her senseless if she ever spoke ill of him after his death (as long as I was in charge of the money).
No, I don’t think I was asking for much. I am still waiting for a response but I am NOT known for my patience, though somehow I think this would call for a exception.
