Joe Millionaire (and later The Next Joe Millionaire) was a short-lived reality show where women meet a person who's supposed to be a millionaire who got rich through an inheritance, though he really isn't. This puts true love to the test to see if real love really doesn't require material wealth.
Premise[]
A group of single women competing for the affection of a bachelor being billed as a millionaire. However, unbeknowist to the single ladies, the bachelor in general was not actually a millionaire at all, a fact that was only revealed to the last remaining woman. Despite the ruse, if the bachelorette accepted the love of the bachelor then the couple would also win a high-valued prize.
In Popular Culture[]

Joe Millionaire II) featuring Anna Nicole Smith, Lorraine Swanson & Bunifa Latifah Halifah Sharifah Jackson (played by Stephanie Weir, Mo Collins & Debra Wilson respectively) as the three bachelorettes.
