Millionaire who posted an advert looking for the perfect son-in-law

The South Korean businessman, known only as Kim, began looking for a suitable husband for his 38-year-old daughter through a matchmaking agency last July.

Kim, 78, is worth nearly £24m and wanted someone aged between 37-42 who grew up in a harmonious family, with a good character and a stable job.

Only 10 potential husbands were selected for an interview. The lucky man, named Lee, met his bride-to-be for the first time last October. They will tie the knot on Saturday.

Kim says he picked Lee because the 41-year-old "showed little interest in my assets" and he was "cheerful and magnanimous".

But it seems not everyone is so lucky at finding love. A wealthy woman worth over £12m who advertised for a soulmate through the same dating agency has yet to find someone, despite attracting 390 responses.
