It's a well-known proverb that love frequently inspires bravery. This was particularly evident in the case of Malaysian heiress Angeline Francis, who chose to marry an ordinary man instead of keeping her enormous $300 million (Rs 2517 crore) inheritance. For love, Angeline Francis decided to give up her family inheritance and be with her partner.
 
While attending Oxford University, Angeline Francis—daughter of business mogul Khoo Kay Peng and former Miss malaysia Pauline Chai—met her lover, Jediah Francis. That's when the couple's love story began.
 
Given that her father is the 44th richest person in malaysia and a director of Corus Hotels, Angeline Francis comes from a wealthy family.

Their disparate socioeconomic origins caused much criticism when Angeline Francis and her lover told their families that they were in love. The father of Angeline Francis was determined to destroy their relationship and made her choose between keeping her lover or keeping her inheritance. Even he was surprised when Angeline Francis gladly opted for love above wealth.
 
Angeline Francis demonstrated that "love conquers all" when she wed Jediah Francis in 2008. She turned off the opportunity to live a life of luxury to put love and family first.
 
Currently, Jediah and Angeline Francis are contentedly wed and enjoy a straightforward yet meaningful life together.
 
For those who don't know, this is hardly the first instance of someone giving their everything out of love. Japan's Princess Mako wed the commoner Kei Komuroa in 2021. Although Princess Mako is the niece of the Japanese emperor, she abandoned her position for love after being married.
