Introduction

You know how we often daydream about becoming a millionaire? We often fantasize about not having to pay rent anymore, not having to struggle to pay the bills, not having to work a 9 to 5 job. We can buy anything we want or go wherever we want! That’s the life – isn’t it?

But being a millionaire is not always about getting everything you want. Though life is easier, some find trouble finding true love – someone who would love you even if you do not have the fame and fortune. This story is all about a millionaire’s search for true love.

The hermit millionaire

Marcel Amphoux defied the stereotype of a millionaire. His appearance resembled that of a peasant, living the life of a hermit. When he ventured out, disheveled attire, unkempt hair, and a toothless smile were his trademarks. His unassuming appearance ensured that passersby often overlooked the unremarkable millionaire in their midst.

While other millionaires would boast and show off their wealth, Marcel was very humble. Fame and glory were never one of his dreams – he did not need that. He was a very simple man who had very simple needs. All he wanted was love.

Humble home

Marcel Amphoux found happiness in a simple life, content with only the essentials. Despite his considerable wealth, he resided in a modest wooden cabin in the French Alps devoid of modern conveniences like electricity and running water. His frugal lifestyle allowed him to amass wealth, illustrating how humility played a significant role in his financial success.

Situated in the picturesque French Alps, an iconic tourist destination, Marcel Amphoux owned extensive land holdings, particularly near the village of Puy-Saint-Pierre. With a steady influx of tourists each year, property values surged, contributing to Marcel’s growing wealth. He astutely constructed houses on his land, capitalizing on the tourist demand by renting them out.

A generous soul

As Marcel’s wealth continued to increase over the years, he never changed one bit and continued to live his humble life in his wooden cabin with his frugal spending habits and reclusive lifestyle. His looks never changed and he still maintained his relationships with family and friends.

Despite his simple lifestyle, Marcel Amphoux displayed remarkable generosity towards his family and friends. In the vicinity of his cabin, he constructed basic chalets and provided them to his loved ones for free. His selfless gestures endeared him to those fortunate enough to be part of his close circle.

Something missing

Marcel Amphoux’s land was a prime location, attracting numerous investors eager to purchase it for resort development. However, Marcel resisted the offers, opting to persist with his rental business. Over time, the land’s value appreciated significantly, transforming Marcel into one of the region’s most affluent individuals.

His remarkable wealth couldn’t shield him from concerns of friends and family. His advancing age and perpetually disheveled appearance had hindered his love life for years. As he entered his later years, there was growing worry that Marcel might never find love due to his long-standing bachelor status and unconventional lifestyle.

Cupid strikes

He soon caught the attention of businesswoman Sandrine Devillard, who sought a part of his property. She invited Marcel to dinner, intending to discuss business, but the evening took an unexpected turn. Love blossomed, and Marcel soon opened his heart to Sandrine, thanks to Cupid’s presence that fateful night.

When Marcel introduced Sandrine to his family and friends, they were surprised. Although they were happy to see that Marcel was visibly happy with the presence of Sandrine, some could not help but raise some eyebrows. Sandrine seemed to live a lavish lifestyle – they were complete opposites.
