A 79-year-old British multimillionaire, Sir Benjamin Slade, has gone viral after publicly announcing that he is searching for a young woman to marry and have a son who will inherit his fortune and continue his family line.
Who Is Sir Benjamin Slade?
Sir Benjamin Slade is a British baronet and the owner of the historic Maunsel House estate in Somerset.
The estate reportedly spans about 1,300 acres and has been in his family for generations.
Despite his wealth and aristocratic status, Sir Slade has no direct male heir.
The Unusual Offer
Sir Slade is reportedly advertising for a woman in her 20s or 30s who is willing to marry him and produce a male child.
The offer includes an annual salary of up to £50,000, along with luxury perks such as access to a private jet and a lavish lifestyle on the countryside estate.
He has made it clear that the main purpose of the arrangement is to secure a son who can inherit the estate and family title.
Past Attempts and ‘Good Breeder’ Comment
This is not Sir Slade’s first public appeal.
In 2025, he reportedly said he was looking for a “good breeder” to help preserve his lineage.
He has also revealed that he previously tried surrogacy abroad, but those efforts failed to result in a male heir.
Netizens Reacts
The announcement has triggered mixed reactions on X (formerly Twitter) with many responding with jokes and satirical “applications”.
