Gigi and her partner Eav (L) marrys in France in 2012 though same-sex marriages are not recognized in Hong Kong.
"I don't think my dad's offering of any amount of money would be able to attract a man I would find attractive," the 33-year-old daughter told the Hong Kong newspaper.

"I would be happy to befriend any man willing to donate huge amounts of money to my charity Faith in Love, provided they don't mind that I already have a wife.

"Third and lastly, thank you Daddy, I love you too," she said.

Gigi reportedly married Eav in a ceremony in France in 2012, though same-sex marriages are not recognized in Hong Kong.

Chao's initial dowry offer attracted 20,000 responses from around the world but failed to change Gigi's mind.

She has thus far taken her father's behavior in stride, previously telling a newspaper she believed it was an indication of how much he loved her.

But she told the SCMP she had repeatedly asked him to stop mentioning the financial reward to the press.

British movie maker Sacha Baron Cohen reportedly is doing a film based on the story.

Chao owns publicly listed property developer Cheuk Nang. He reportedly once claimed to have slept with 10,000 women.
