Men queue up for job to ‘convert lesbian’ after father’s huge reward

View(s):

The lesbian daughter of a billionaire playboy has laughed off her father’s ‘marriage bounty’ of nearly £40 million to any man who can turn his daughter straight. One of Hong Kong’s richest men, Cecil Chao Sze-tsung, made the offer after his daughter Gigi married her girlfriend of seven years Seab Eav in France.

And surprise, surprise, the offers have already started arriving thick and fast from men all over the globe.
Refusing to accept the gay union, the property and shipping tycoon pledged the fortune to any potential male suitor able to walk Gigi down the aisle at a traditional wedding.

But his daughter, a 33-year-old University of Manchester graduate said she thought the HKD500 million Hong Kong dollar offer – the equivalent of £39.8 million – was ‘quite entertaining’.

‘War veterans from the US, someone from Ethiopia, from Istanbul, South America, Portugal, really just from all over the world,’ she said.

One American suitor wrote: ‘I’m interested in the offer. I am a male person, who also happens to be gay.’
Another put up his brother, a body double to George Clooney in the 2008 film Leatherheads, as a potential mate.
The hopefuls, however, seem to be wasting their time.

Miss Chao insists she will not be ditching her partner – no matter the quality of man her father’s millions can buy.
Hong Kong billionaire Mr Chao, 76 – who claims to have slept with 10,000 women – has refused to accept his daughter’s sexuality, hence his ‘marriage bounty’.

‘My father has an interesting interpretation of me,’ said Mrs Chao, a Manchester University graduate.
‘Homosexuality is still an uncomfortable issue for many people.’

She refused to confirm reports of her nuptials on April 4, stating: ‘I’m not afraid to admit anything. But I do want to respect my parents.

‘Let time be the witness.’
