Perhaps the adage "Money can't buy you love nor happiness" may now be reconsidered, as a man from China flexed his financial muscles and got his girlfriend a bouquet for her birthday - but not just any bouquet.

The unnamed man apparently gave his girlfriend last week a giant bouquet made of banknotes. The banknotes amounted to 334,000 yuan ($52,300 or P2.7 million) and were folded into origami flowers, as per ChongqingMorning Post via the South China Morning Post, May 25.

A person who attended the girl's birthday party revealed that the bouquet was created by workers from a local florist. "The arrangement took seven people more than 10 hours to complete," the guest said in the report.
