How do you know? What if OP is a 29-year old bombshell from a nice family working on her Phd? In any case, OP, even if you land a rich husband, make your own money, too. There are no free lunches in life. You'll learn this one way or another.

I know an OP that was dating a divorced hedge fund partner and he insisted on her signing a prenup before he would agree to marry her. She finally signed it because it wasn’t going to happen otherwise. She has an amazing lifestyle now and a new baby. He had been through an expensive divorce and was already supporting three kids. These rich guys aren’t stupid.

Prenups don’t do that much. Any millions he makes after marrying her is fair game.

Funny, I have a friend with a very similar setup, only he didn't ask for a prenup. She is gorgeous and has a good career, but I'm sure he makes at least 5X what she makes. I wouldn't traded places with her - too many stressors in her life from his baggage.

Why would you want a baby when you are almost 60? Or would you just string them along?

Why wouldn't I want to have a baby when I am my age? I can't think of a single thing to do that would be a better use of my time and resources.

This. Or target 50+ and willing to let you have one kid. But don’t expect them to do midnight feedings or diapers. They already did that once with their first family.

Not true based on my experience. 50ish spouse started all over with me and he does at least half of all midnight feedings and diapers and all the other hard stuff. He knows he's lucky to have me and he was very happy from the beginning to try fatherhood again now that he's got more time and money and "the right partner," as he often says. Who knows where things will go, but so far, I feel like I won the lottery because he's rich, handsome and adores me and our little kids. I know there are risks to marrying an older guy and OP probably shouldn't take them. From what I read on here and elsewhere, I probably did win the lottery because lots of women in my situation are miserable.

Lol. Check in with us in about a decade.

You can but likely he’ll be as shallow and not a great life partner.

I understand not wanting to date or marry a bum, but OP, why don't you focus on getting rich yourself vs. planning to mooch off some rich guy?

Hint: rich men do not care about your job or your money. They care about how you look (pretty, skinny) and if you will be a good help mate and mother. Full stop.

Not from his business.

New flash: no woman wants to marry someone living pay check to paycheck. Women that want a family universally
want a spouse that can provide enough financial stability to give them the choice of career flexibility and option to stay home for a time if needed or wanted

Why can't women do that by themselves?

Because taking care of children and a home is a job. Just a century ago almost all married women stayed at home. Did you think they were crazy or something? Have you tried it?

I don’t buy those excuses. If you have time for DCUM all day, you have time to do all those even with kids.

You have no idea what you are talking about, and if you have kids I guarantee they are an emotional mess.

The rich people I know tend to marry one another. That way, they can be pretty sure that nobody's marrying them for their money.

There are Paul McCartneys out there for Heather Mills to find but I wouldn’t count on finding one.

The older guys can get that without marrying you. Check out Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
