Hello, insanely rich newly single Asian lady. How you doing?
Chinese air raid shelters? Now shop until you ( and bombs) drop.
Guess they won't raise a family. She didn't want to multiply, so he figured division was best.

LOL, so the guy settles for peanuts (relatively speaking) in the divorce and the woman gets to keep most of her wealth....lol, imagine if this was reversed (especially in modern day Amercia)....NEVER happen. The woman would take the man for every cent she could - and of course probably be awarded it....

No its not....but its nowhere near the normal 50-50 that usually happens in this country. He took the high road. Not many people would.

He's divorcing her because he doesn't like being rich...defeats the "not being rich" part if he takes half of the money.
How do I get in contact, I'll be her boy toy.
