Topic: Who Wants to Marry A Multi Millionaire


  
  Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?
Instead of a panel of judges, one man chose who would win the pageant — an unknown "multi-millionaire." He would whittle down the field from 50 down to one, and at that time he would immediately marry the "winner." The somewhat-skanky Fox television network aired it on February 15, 2000.
The show went off without a hitch — meaning, both the winner and the millionaire said "I do." The bride was a nurse named Darva Conger; the groom, a comedian and property owner named Rick Rockwell, and they immediately went on a honeymoon in Barbados.
The other 49 contestants were grateful that they weren't chosen; they simply wanted the free trip to Las Vegas, where the show was taped.
