Megan Wants a Millionaire was a short lived American reality television series on VH1 in which former Rock of Love contestant Megan Hauserman has seventeen wealthy single men compete for her love.[2] The show originated from a comment made by Hauserman during an episode of Rock of Love: Charm School, in which she stated that she ideally would like to become a "trophy wife". During the casting process for the series, VH1 asked for single men with a net worth of over $1,000,000.[3]
In February 2009, Hauserman stated in an interview that taping of Megan Wants a Millionaire had begun.[4] Hauserman also stated that she was looking for "a mature guy that can handle me and doesn't cry" and stated "He doesn't have to be rich; he has to be stable." Hauserman said she would take the show seriously, it would be "very real".[4] Megan's best friends, Brandi Cunningham from VH1 shows and Cecille Gahr (from Beauty and the Geek) were to appear on the show and try to help Megan with her decisions. The show premiered on Sunday, August 2, 2009.[2][5]
Broadcast of the program was suspended by VH1 on August 19, 2009, after it was announced that contestant Ryan Jenkins was being sought by police for questioning in connection to the murder of Jasmine Fiore (whom he married after the show had concluded).[6][7] On August 23, 2009, Jenkins was found dead, of an apparent suicide, at a motel in Hope, British Columbia.[8] On August 24, 2009, Megan Wants a Millionaire was officially cancelled by VH1.[9][10] Early reports after the incident occurred indicated that Jenkins was a finalist in the series.[6] It was later confirmed from a contestant's Twitter account that Jenkins had placed third in the competition.[11]
