Local millionaire hopes billboard will land him a girlfriend

Posted: Updated:

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A local real estate mogul and reality TV show millionaire is looking for love in a very unusual place.

He's posted a billboard, hoping it will land him a girlfriend in time for Christmas. The billboard shows Marc Paskins' photo and reads, "All I want for Christmas is a Latina girlfriend."

Paskins, who appeared on the TV show "Secret Millionaire," lost his wife of 28 years to diabetes in 2002.

His ad is posted at the 28th Street exit off I-5 in Grant Hill.
