A lotto winner who snared GBP 8.6 million in cash has baffled fans with his boast that he can afford two wives now he is loaded.
Former jailbird Kursat Yildirim, 43, became a multi-millionaire overnight after scooping the jackpot on the German lottery.
In a whirlwind 15-month spending spree, he blew a fortune on luxury supercars, property and lavish gifts for his policewoman girlfriend Candice Newgas.
Yildirim whipped up a storm of protest this week with a social media post apparently mocking tens of thousands of flood victims made homeless in Germany.
Now he has started a second row with a new post about his love life.

Yildirim, known as Chico to fans, posted a video clip showing a scene of the Dubai skyline, where he is on holiday with red-headed Candice and friends.
Two women can be heard talking in the background and as the camera pans back towards Yildirim he says: “Now that I am a multimillionaire, I have EUR 10 million, I can afford two women.”
Then, turning the camera again, he shows Candice talking with a pretty brunette.
Yildirim then says: “One Arab, one German. Now I have two women, people.”
He then captioned the clip: “Now I have two wives, the third has already been ordered.”
It is unclear whether the dark-haired woman has any links to Yildirim at all or if it is simply a bizarre boast.

But Yildirim opens his post with ‘Salam Aleikum’ a greeting often used by Muslims whose religion allows men to take multiple wives.
But the post infuriated many of his 870,000 Instagram followers.
One, ‘mehaz_hn’, said: “To be honest, at the beginning I liked you but slowly you’re becoming more disgusting.”
While ‘Mclachst’ said: “Coked up chauvinist pasha humour, I wonder how much the coke costs in the UAE.”
Some though took his boast at face value.
One ‘nadjasowade’ said: “For all the haters, the Quran allows a Muslim man 4 women, as long as he can take care of everyone and treat them equally.
“If you want to convert now, DM the millionaire please LOL have a nice holiday Chico.”
And ‘bulldogg_alwin’ said: “He does this especially for all the envious people 🙂 so that you can continue to get upset about something.”
Yildirim and Newgas are spending their winter break at the Address Beach Resort, a five-star skyscraper hotel where the cheapest room costs GBP 500 per night.
Just days ago, Yildirim caused fury after mocking victims of the devastating storms in Germany while he holidays in Dubai.
Tens of thousands of people have suffered as Storm Zoltan battered Germany with rivers bursting their banks and flooding entire cities.
The storm killed two in the Netherlands and Belgium as it ripped across northern Europe.
But Chico apparently laughed at their suffering, posting a video of himself soaking up the sun on his luxury break.

He left many open-mouthed with the footage of himself and pal Ferhat Dogan posing on the beach in brilliant sunshine.
As he raced down to leap into the warm waters of the Persian Gulf he jeered: “Hi there, haters. Wet weather in Germany? Well, it’s pretty wet here in Dubai too.”
With astonishing insensitivity, he captioned the clip “Well, are you wet in Germany?”
Angry followers like ‘lisalo267’ snapped: “Simply unnecessary. Some parts of Germany are going downhill right now, families have to leave their homes because villages are being evacuated. You don’t seem to be the brightest candle on the cake.”
Another ‘la-fred-88’ said: “Why such unnecessary videos? Everyone knows that you have money and God willing you should win another 10 million. Such videos make you extremely unpleasant.”
And ‘s._bri’ added: “Simply embarrassing and tasteless to post something like that when people fear for their existence. This has nothing to do with envy. Respect is a two-way street…”
