Over-bearing parents are one thing, but one Cantonese billionaire takes the idea to a whole new level. Cecil Chao Sze-tsung has decided to throw his name on the ballet for Worst Father of the Year by offering $65 million to any man who can get his lesbian daughter to marry him.
In other words, throwing money at his problems has always solved them in the past, so why would it not solve the “problem” of his daughter’s sexual orientation?
The shipping and real estate success has been rumored to have slept with an alarming 10,000 women, but has never been married. His 33 -year-old daughter, Gigi Chao, was said to have married her partner of seven years recently in France, although it has been denied numerous times by her father.
Since Cecil’s offer went public this Wednesday, there have been over 100 offers from suitors all over the country. The offers came in forms of e-mails, faxes and even written letters. Gigi has also claimed that many men have stopped her in the street to propose and that she has even gotten an offer from a producer to buy her story.
Although homosexuality is not banned in Hong Kong or even deemed as a mental disorder as it was in China in 2001, it is still frowned upon. Gigi Chao, among many others, feels that change is overdue.
What do you think of Cecil Chao Sze-tsung’s offer?

Wouldn’t this create the wrong results? I wouldn’t be surprised if she has a plan to split it with someone willing to be deceptive with her… unless it is the parents purposely being mean towards the child. Kind of like those that’ll say you are fat and so forth thinking it’d motivate you to loose weight

Guh when I heard about this it really bummed me out (and still does), but upon seeing the pictures you posted here of her, I mostly just focused on the fact that she’s gorgeous and am kinda jealous of her wife. And her dad is most definitely still a douche.

If I were her, I would totally “go along with it” and find someone with whom to split the money. As for what I think of her dad, he is definitely an ass.

There were always those relationships back in the day where people married for security and standing rather than love, but still had their own little secret affairs. If she plays it smart, she can marry some guy, split the money, and still have her love in her life.

@ItsAll_A_LoveWar@xanga - And be living a lie for the rest of her life, having to sneak around to be with who she wants to be with?
I have a funny feeling that’s not an acceptable answer for her.

Find a shemale. Problem solved.

Yeah, I gotta say if your dad is going to be THAT shitty, just get someone in on it to split the money, and then promptly divorce and away with her wife. Har har to you, dad.

For real? No kidding? A boat load of money involved. If they could get a decent pre-nup, they could both walk away in maybe 5 years without any emotional damage. I mean, they could pretend they were a normal couple for a while. Or, is he expecting this to last forever? Asians not assimilated in the American, British, or other westernized countries really do think like this. And it’s very sad. Very very sad. Maybe she already has enough dough to last a life time? Maybe her mother can keep the tunnel of bucks flowing? But the bottom line is, and I was married to a filipino for 11 years, who had only lived here 3 years when we hooked up, he would have been horribly ashamed had one of ours been gay. I did not know this at the time. But he would have been. If she’s got a trust fund, life is already good. Move on from daddy and find a wonderful partner.

Well, I definitely don’t agree with the homosexual lifestyle. I believe it’s wrong and goes far from the way God created men and women. But, I do not by any means agree with the way this woman’s father is handling it! He’s definitely a tool.

@xhalesx@revelife - Same here.

I’m thinking her father might not expect his plan to work, but instead, just make his daughter’s life miserable with perpetual suitors.

It’s all about inheritance. Lesbians can’t get pregnant on their own, they still need a man to bear a child. Who will donate the sperm? What if the daughter gets the sperm from a sperm bank where they keep the donor’s identity a secret? Would the father give away their family fortune to a grandchild of unknown origins? What if the sperm donor will someday come forward and demand a share of the family fortune? The father is trying to secure a family fortune he worked his damn ass off for decades. For a billionaire, $65 million is just a pocket change compare to the billions of dollars his future grandchild will inherit someday. I’m sure any guy who plans to marry his daughter will have to get through a very tough screening process.

In the Asian community, it is important to have a heir if you have a vast amount of wealth. Since his daughter is a lesbian, thus unable to bear a flesh and blood heir from her lesbian lover, the father has no choice but to find a man who will give him a heir. If you study the Chinese culture, you will see that this practice is acceptable for centuries. The father will reward a man who marry his daughter and give him a heir, even without her permission. If the child is a boy, he will carry the paternal family name, such as Lee, and secure the family lineage. A child adopted by a lesbian couple is unable to use his maternal family name and thus will have difficulty in claiming his inheritance.

I’m surprised there’s that many guys willing to go that far for money, when you consider they’ll never be able to have sex again, unless they commit adultery which is not anymore acceptable than being homosexual. There’s a big difference between lesbian and bisexual. She’ll never be turned on to her husband and a man’s pride is quite important to him.

@Rendezvous_Point@xanga - What about sperm banks?
Also, I like that part “even without her permission”. I’m pretty sure that when it comes down to it, her permission will be needed to stick a penis in her vagina. Or am I missing something?
guest
Wait, why are people saying she should find someone to split the money with? Isn’t the money just going to the dude who marries her, not to her?
Regardless, this is beyond sickening.
