An unnamed businessman in Tianjin married off his daughter with a dowry worth 10 million yuan in uncut sheets of banknotes, multiple pieces of real estate and cars.

The wedding has been called another display of China’s "tuhao," a term used to describe China’s newly rich and powerful.

The father of the bride presented his new son-in-law with a dowry of Chinese yuan and other currencies in 99 cardboard paper tubes – the number 99 a homonym for “last forever” in Chinese.

But such a gift is mere novelty considering what followed.

According those in attendance at the wedding, the dowry also included properties in Tianjin's R&F Center, Beijing's Changping district and other places and cars worth millions of yuan.

Web users quickly raised questions as to the source of the money, with some pointing out that sheets of Chinese yuan can only be circulated with the approval of the People’s Bank of China.
