But he's still refusing to welcome her long-term female partner into his family.
Cecil Chao, a wealthy
real estate developer, made headlines around the world in 2012 when he
offered 500 million Hong Kong dollars (roughly $65 million) to any man who succeeded in marrying his daughter.
Recent reports that he
was willing to double the offer put his family back in the headlines.
Gigi Chao, 34, responded by writing him an open letter, published in
local newspapers this week, asking him to come to terms with her
sexuality.
In the letter, she told
him that she was happy in her relationship and urged him to treat her
partner, Sean Eav, as "a normal, dignified human being."
"If Gigi's said that this
is what she chooses, then it's all over," Cecil Chao said Thursday an
interview with CNN's Monita Rajpal. He said the huge sum he had offered
to potential suitors "stays in my pocket."
