He's been looking for Jenny longer than it took me to build this empire.
He's been looking for Jenny longer than how long it took me to build this empire.
Are both these sentences grammatically correct? Do they mean the same thing?
Answer
Both of your sentences are understandable but awkward and would be considered to be created by a non-native speaker.
Better might be
He's been looking for Jenny for longer than it took for me to build this empire.
Which is still odd in using the contrast of times for looking and for building.
