Cecil Chao announced the
financial reward of HK$500 million after his daughter, Gigi, married her
same-sex partner of seven years in France earlier this year, the South China
Morning Post reported.
"I don't mind whether he
is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind
hearted," 76-year-old Chao was quoted as saying.
"Gigi is a very good woman
with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and
does volunteer work," he added.
He also rejected "false
reports" that Gigi, 33, had married abroad, saying she was still single.
Chao, who owns publicly-listed
property developer Cheuk Nang, could not be reached for comment.
Same-sex marriages are not
recognised in Hong Kong, a socially conservative Chinese city where
homosexuality was decriminalised in 1991.
Chao is well known in Hong
Kong's social circles and regularly appears at public events with his latest
young girlfriend.
He reportedly once claimed to
have had intimate relations with 10,000 women.
