Rich man offering $18,000 for someone willing to try and tempt his future wife

Why would a very rich man try to tempt his future wife?

How important is money in a relationship?

 A worried rich man wants to check the true intentions of a woman he is tying the knot with. He is offering a lot of money to someone to test if she is true.

If you are very rich, how can you check if someone loves you truly?

This rich man decided to hire someone to check to see if she is honest.

He's been with her for one year but he had problems with women who were gold diggers before.

He became worried because after he asked her to marry him, she seemed very interested to get married as soon as possible. And she did not want to sign an agreement that she could not claim his money or assets if their marriage fails.

So to check he went to HushHush.com to see if he could find someone to help him check.

The idea is to find a younger rich man to tempt her away from him.  He admits he is not the prime of his life.

He's offering a one off payment of $18,000, as well as living in a luxury apartment, two luxury cars and a budget to spend money. This will help convince his girlfriend that the actor is rich.

Applicants should be "good looking", able to act convincingly, have facial hair and have a good body.

Aaron Harpin, the owner of HushHush.com, said: “The concept of ‘gold diggers’ isn’t new. It is something that the rich and famous have long had to deal with. However, we don’t usually see people tackling it in such a direct way.

He also said they are hoping to find the right person to act the role. They don’t want to see couple fail but they also want to help marriages be true and succeed.
