Gigi Chao, the daughter of a Hong Kong billionaire
says she had been bombarded with marriage proposals – and even nude photographs
– from as far as Nigeria after her father offered £40 million to the man who
could woo her.
Gigi Chao, daughter of property tycoon Cecil Chao,
entered a civil partnership with her girlfriend of seven years in a ceremony in
Paris five months ago.
But Mr Chao, 76, has told the South China Morning
Post that reports of his daughter's civil ceremony were "false". He
announced the HK$500 million dowry earlier this week.
It has sparked a deluge of offers. Speaking on
Thursday Ms Chao, 33, said she had received about 200 proposals and that the
number of people following her on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook had jumped by
1,500 since her father's announcement.
"People are contacting me on Facebook, by
email, on Twitter. It's ridiculous. I can't sort out the serious proposals from
the half-hearted ones. I can't make head or tail of it," she told The
Daily Telegraph.
Ms Chao, an executive director of her father's
company, Cheuk Nang, said that in addition to receiving enquiries from
gentlemen who say they are looking for love and ask her out on a date, she has
received some introductions that are less convention,
Walahi Naija no dey carry last at all ooo.
