''For Love or Money'' is a 1993 American romantic comedy film directed by Creator/BarrySonnenfeld and starring Creator/MichaelJFox and Creator/GabrielleAnwar.

Doug Ireland (Fox) is a concierge at the Bradbury, a luxurious hotel in New York City, saving money to open his own hotel. He finds the financial supporter he needs in Christian Hanover, a somewhat unscrupulous billionaire. Christian considers the proposal and asks Doug to "take care" of his mistress, Andy Hart, a perfume saleswoman. Doug pretends to date Andy so that she can get close to Christian without his wife suspecting. Doug learns that Christian is deceiving Andy about getting a divorce. But because his hotel proposal is urgent and considers that Andy is old enough to make her own decisions, he doesn't intervene. However, as he and Andy spend time together, he develops feelings for her, and now he must choose if he's in, well, for love or money.
