Marry it.
I read this feature on “How to Meet and Marry a Billionaire,” and really, really wanted it to be a big running joke, but it doesn’t seem to be. This is a three-page article with very specific suggestions on where to go and what to do to find and hook the mogul of your dreams. But to be fair, it’s not just being mercenary…one of the professional matchmakers-to-millionaires quoted in the article advises her customers to “date for love, just in a rich pond. You do not marry for money because, at the end of the day, he could lose his money, and you end up with a toad.”
What if he was a toad the whole time, but the money just let you ignore it? He could turn out to be one of those guys who would rather kill than divorce his wife.
I’m still shaking my head, but I guess there’s (still!) a market for everything out there or no one would be interested in this – the beauty of capitalism, or something like that. Thanks to Michelle Goodman (The Anti 9-to-5 Guide) for the heads-up on this one.
