Tron Founder Sues Actress Over Dowry Demand
Cryptocurrency billionaire Justin Sun is seeking $4.5 million in dowry from actress Jing Tian, claiming it was paid to her family before their arranged marriage fell through.
Sun, founder of Tron, claims he gave the money to the actress's family as a condition for the marriage, but the relationship ended when they demanded an additional $50 million to have a child in the United States. Sun refused and communication ceased.
Jing Tian responded by stating that she would 'never sell her love for money' and believed in the law.
The lawsuit has drawn attention in China, bringing together the extraordinary wealth of a billionaire, the fame of an actress, and the tradition of dowry in marriage.
