If I were the daughter, I would find a guy, marry him, give him a 10% cut and divorce him

Not to get the money. Just to thumb my nose to an ass of a father.

I guess he's OK with a wedding of convenience, since he's creating the perfect set-up for one.

Once she marries him, she won't have any control over the money - it's a dowry, she'd be lucky to get anything.

Hell, I'd marry her, give her all the money, and file for divorce just in exchange for her filling out the paperwork and paying any necessary fees for the two proceedings.

Read This!

Now, if I were her wife, I would dress up like a man, accompany her to the altar, and collect our money just to teach him a lesson.
Honestly the type of guy "who regularly attends public events with his latest young girlfriend" and "reportedly once claimed to have had intimate relations with 10,000 women," has no room to talk about who his daughter is involved with particularly when it is apparently a loving committed relationship.

Yes, obviously, pre-nups will be required.

Actually, I would use the money to fund a charity that helps gay people get married. Bam!

Pre-nups are sinful. They should wait for the nups, as God intended.

I assume the idea would be to cut a deal, I'll give you 4 million if you fake marry me. I mean I don't know how such a thing would work legally but you could probably work it out.

The lesbian daughter of a Hong Kong billionaire has been bombarded with marriage proposals after her father offered £40m to any man who could win her heart.

Gigi Chao, 33, says she has received thousands of offers - and even nude photographs - including one from a man claiming to be Hollywood actor George Clooney's body double.

What if I marry her and then use the money to fund a sex-change for myself? Everyone should be happy then, right?
