A bride in central China who proudly showed off her self-earned dowry that included a flat in Shenzhen, a holiday villa, a Ferrari, and 9.99 million yuan (US$1.4 million) has been praised on social media.
At her lavish wedding in Luyi county, Henan province in central China on February 5, she wore a traditional red Chinese dress and a glittering gold crown like those worn by ancient Chinese royalty.
Her four bridesmaids, dressed in the red uniforms of ancient ministers, held boards displaying the list of her dowry, reported Great Wall New Media.
The properties, money and car listed have a combined value of more than 30 million yuan (US$4.2 million), the report said.

The wedding took three months to prepare and included dances by professional troupes as well as drone performances.
“I think it is the most lavish wedding in our county,” said a female guest who filmed the event.
