It is often said that money can't buy love.
But trying telling that to a wealthy Indian man who splashed out £14,000 on a solid gold shirt in the hope it will attract female attention.
Money-lender Datta Phuge 32, from Pimpri-Chinchwad, commissioned the shirt which took a team of 15 goldsmiths two weeks to make working 16 hours a day creating and weaving the gold threads.

Chinese man gives 100 million in dowry for daughter

"Apple Daily featured a one-page report on the Jinjiang tradition last year, titled "Marrying a Jinjiang bride is better than robbing a bank."Last month, another Jinjiang billionaire married off his daughter with a dowry worth more than 2billion yuan, following the example of Hengan International's chairman, who paid 2.5 billion yuan for his niece’s wedding a year ago. "



Communists have come a long way..haven't they:)

yes, except the real communistos aka cubans are still languishing in 4th world squalor with their women (and me) forced to hook with pasty europeans to make ends meet.

also, I dont like it when dowry comes with shares in a company or a retail store etc...implicit in such a transaction is the expectation that the son in law should work. what's the point of that?

Like prop said "elephants".
