An aristocratic bride search Must-Have list worthy of the OT

An old English nobleman with plenty of ducats to spare is searching for a woman to continue his line. But the requirements are steep. Winner gets a big expense account and gets to be Lady of the House of Sir Benjamin Slade’s 1300 acre estate.

Hmm, he wants a son or two, but at 79 he only requires the woman to be 20 years younger than him?! I know in this day and age of Better Living Through Chemistry, some women that age have carried babies (no doubt with donor eggs and in vitro fertilization), but he really ought to be aiming below the ole 'half your age plus seven' when wanting kids. To be clear, in my opinion nobody near his age should be having kids; it's irresponsible to father a kid you probably won't live to raise to adulthood.
Oh, and he's not an aristocrat, I think. The normal distinctions in the U.K. are, going down in order of precedence:
(1) royal: king / queen then prince / princess;
(2) noble: duke / duchess, marquess / marchioness, earl / countess, viscount / viscountess, then baron / baroness; then
(3) baronet, like this dude, is a hereditary title of dignity and certainly qualifies as part of the gentry, but a clear step below.
Oh, and then this bit:

Sir Benjamin ... says she can't come from countries beginning with 'I' that have green in their flag, which rules out residents of Ireland, India, Italy, Ivory Coast and Iran. He said: 'I don't mind Canadians, Americans, Germans and Northern Europeans - what I like to call similar people. I don't think marrying an Eskimo is for me....
Slade has a daughter, Violet, with entrepreneur and former child author Sahara Sunday Spain, 34 ....

Sahara Sunday Spain was born in San Francisco, California, to Elisabeth Sunday, a contemporary artist-photographer and, Johnny Spain, a former Black Panther civil rights activist and convicted murderer.

Ehhh, if you’re Scottish, then yes, but the helicopter license was not a requirement. The headline was misleading.
