Thousands of men have sent offers of dates and marriage proposals to Gigi Chao after her father made the HKD500 million (£39.8 million) offer.
Cecil Chao Sze-tsung, a property magnate, announced the bounty this week after reports that his daughter, a University of Manchester graduate, entered a civil partnership with her long-term girlfriend in France.
Gigi Chao, 33, said she thought that the offer and the responses were "quite entertaining".
She said that instead of being angry, she saw her father's announcement as an act of love.
Her father, 76-year-old Sze-tsung Chao, made his fortune in shipping and property said that his daughter was still single, and eligible, and insisted he would not force her into marriage with an unsuitable groom.
He said his offer was "an inducement to attract someone who has the talent but not the capital to start his own business".
"I do not mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted. Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work," he told the SCMP.
Gigi Chao, the daughter of a Hong Kong billionaire says she had been bombarded with marriage proposals – and even nude photographs – from as far as Nigeria after her father offered £40 million to the man who could woo her.
