Tom Feltenstein spent six-thousand dollars to put a giant personal ad on I-95.
He's since received hundreds of e-mails from women ages 25-75 answering his bold billboard proclamation that read, 'Have Maid, Have Money, Would Love a Honey.'
One of the e-mails reads, "Give me a ring, by phone, or for my finger - whichever you prefer."
He's gone on dates with two of the women, saying "It was fun; they were lovely ladies."
But, with love letters still coming in everyday, this millionaire isn't calling off his search for a soul mate just yet.
Instead of just sorting through all of the e-mails, there's been a change of tactic.
There's now a contest to win a date with Feltenstein.
He explains, "It'll be just extraordinary: maybe we'll jump out of an airplane, maybe we'll go to Australia."
Feltenstein claims he's doing the contest not just to put a little pep in his pursuit, the marketing expert is doing what he does best: stirring a little hype for his newest book, Lucrative Love - The Insider's Secrets to Marrying Millions.
"It is controversial but people have really enjoyed it," Feltenstein explains.
With each line in his in-box, like the one from one woman reading, 'give me a bear hug and a smooch right on the mouth,' Feltenstein's unusual quest for a best seller and a 'honey' just keeps getting sweeter.
Feltenstein says, "We meet people everyday, why not this way? It's ok."
Although Feltenstein claims he's only sold a few hundred copies of Lucrative Love, he's confident he'll eventually sell millions.
He says he's also sure he'll soon meet the woman of his dreams.
