[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a thread with a woman trying to get her son to “marry well”. I don’t know if I’m wrong, but as someone well off, it doesn’t seem like men have shown me extra interest because of it? I make 100k in my late twenties, no debt, and parents are worth around 15 million. I’m not conventionally pretty and men aren’t lining up to date me. I mean I don’t show off my wealth but my salary is easy to figure out and after a few dates it’s probably apparent I have family money. Are there actually men who want to marry up wealth wise? I guess I’m surprised.[/quote]

Statistically heirs get about 25% of family money. Everything else is lost in divorces, remarriages, trust fights, legal and management fees. So don't think you would be worth $15mm unless both of your parents are already 85 y.o.

You need to have assets titled to your name, and a higher income to consider yourself a candidate for a man who wants to marry up. You haven't earned anything yet, and your salary is low. Inheritance is also separate property, and your parents won't like it commingled. [/quote]

Do you realize how uncommon it is for a woman to be making six figures in her twenties without student loans? Are you delusional?[/quote]
