Patti Stanger continues her matchmaking expertise and tough love on “The Millionaire Matchmaker†as she is tasked with setting up a recent-millionaire and prince on Monday, August 29 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Her first client is Daniel Kibblesmith, a 27-year-old comedy writer for the popular website Groupon. Daniel is a self-professed nerd who doesn’t understand the social etiquette of dating, nor does he possess the polish of a millionaire.

This 34-year-old allegedly hails from one of the oldest royal family in Europe, and has amassed a fortune developing his own fashion line, fragrances, and an upcoming vodka label.
