"I've sent Kelly about $103,000 in the last 29 months. I've not met Kelly, but it doesn't matter. I love her just the same. 'She has an inheritance coming, and I've always wanted to be a millionaire, so it's like a match made in heaven. I just love her. She is beautiful and warm, kind, caring and loving."' he said on the show as shocked audience listened.

So it's either this man is lying about the amount he's sent or he has some issues...Continue...
