Justin Sun Sues Actress Jing Tian Over Alleged $4.5 Million 'Bride Price' Payment

Chinese cryptocurrency tycoon Justin Sun is embroiled in a high-profile dispute with actress Jing Tian, whom he has described as his 'girlfriend'.

Sun claims to have paid a 'bride price' of 30 million yuan (US$4.5 million) to Jing's parents for her hand in marriage, although the nature and terms of this payment are unclear.

The controversy began when Sun published an online post detailing his alleged relationship with Jing, including discussions about surrogacy, but he later labelled the account 'fictional' and waived copyright.
