All a California Millionaire Wants for Christmas is… a Latina Girlfriend??
A San Diego millionaire is looking for love. And Marc Paskin is offering money, kind of, to a Latina who’s looking for a sugar daddy.
The widowed real estate mogul created a stir recently after he paid for a huge billboard with his smiling, goateed face on it that says: “All I Want for Christmas is a Latina Girlfriend.” Beneath that it reads: Email Marc: ChristmasLatina@aol.com.
The billboard is in Barrio Logan, a mostly Latino neighborhood.
Why a Latina?
That’s the question people are asking after the bizarre billboard appeared on a busy expressway. Paskin, never shy about talking to the media, has stayed mysteriously mum about his intentions.
He has told the media he wants to die poor.
“When I die, no one will be at my funeral talking about my cash flow or how many properties I own,” he told the San Diego Union Tribune recently. “But they will be talking about my heart, and how I used my success to help others in need. Giving back, helping others – to me, that is success, not the size of your bank account.”
But he then added that his generosity – and his huge cash flow – has its limits.
“A guy from the Midwest sent me a several-page e-mail, saying he was almost 400 pounds and wanted money for a gastric bypass. A woman e-mailed me that she is poor and needs $500 for tires. People want help paying their mortgage,” he told the website.“I feel bad for people in their situations, but I have to be very selective as to whom I help — I can’t help everyone.”
Paskin wife of 28 years died a decade ago of a diabetes-related illness. He has two adult children and three children. He claims he likes to travel, sing karaoke and dress up as Elvis Presley.
