A former Thai porn star who became a Buddhist and married an American millionaire has insisted that she’s not a gold digger – after finally being granted a divorce.
Nong Nat, 33, married wealthy businessman Harold Jennings Nesland, 72, after quitting the porn industry.
However, she demanded a divorce shortly after their wedding, expressing fears about giving her husband a heart attack during sex.
Her husband Harold, who is based near Seattle, has now finally agreed to a divorce – but Nat insists she ‘never needed’ him to take care of her financially.
However, Nat – who is now single – says she is looking for a man who is ‘financially secure’, asking potential suitors to send her their bank statements to prove this.

Speaking about her marriage to Harold, Nat said: ‘I never needed Harold to take care of me financially, I’m no gold digger. I’m not desperate.
‘He paid for everything but I know he has a lot of expenses of his own in America. So I was understanding and said he could reduce my monthly salary.
‘We are still friends and if ever I have a problem I can call him for help.’
Nat revealed last year that she and Harold, who made his fortune as an architect in the construction business, were living separate lives and that she wanted a divorce.
According to LinkedIn, he is the CEO and Managing Director of Global Design Solutions in Bellevue, Washington. His building project experience includes building design projects of over $2 billion with a specialty in master planning large academic medical campuses, resorts and cities.

The former porn star says she’s had interest from hundreds of men, but wants potential suitors to send her photographs of themselves, along with bank statements
Since the split Nat returned to glamour modelling and has been earning money by doing steamy photo-shoots and promoting products.
Nat said her love for Harold was like ‘a kid looking after an old man’, adding that she is now looking for someone who fits in with her lifestyle.
‘It took a long time for Harold to agree to the divorce. My family didn’t want me to separate. But he understands now,’ she said.
‘I don’t want him to be tortured either. He’s so old. He needs someone to look after him always and we are in different places.’

She added: ‘He holds onto the memories we had. But I don’t.’
The model said hundreds of men are now looking to date her but she will take her time to choose the right one.
In fact, she has asked potential suitors to send her pictures of himself and any relevant documents – including their bank statements and divorce papers.
‘I’m single and looking to date,’ Nat explained.
‘The documents that must be submitted are photographs of your face and full-length picture, bank statements from the last five years to show your financially secure, divorce papers if you were married before and your nationality.’
She stirred controversy in the 2000s by appearing in black market videos that were distributed throughout Thailand, including Tokyo Hunter and Asian Heart.
The Asian beauty was prosecuted for appearing in the productions, which breach Thailand’s anti-pornography laws.
She quit the industry, became a devout Buddhist and married Mr Nesland in 2012.
