[quote=Anonymous]I dated one. It was family money. He was pretty much just like everyone else, except when we traveled it was by private jet -- it wasn't just his, it was the jet of the family business (which was just managing and investing their money, pretty much), and we mainly used it because he traveled with his pet and, rightfully, wouldn't put  the pet in cargo on a commercial flight. His house was nice, but you wouldn't walk into it and think billionaire or even millionaire. He had a professional degree, and worked as one. You wouldn't guess he was that rich at all. You could see the money with his mother  -- she wore Chanel pretty much at all times and had a monthly appointment at a trusted family jeweler.

He gave me nice gifts, but not outrageously expensive ones -- sapphire earrings for my birthday, a cashmere sweater, a piece of art for a milestone event.

He was very sweet and smart and a lot of fun. A good person. I loved him a lot. Would have loved him just as much if he'd had no money. Still think the world of him. In the end, I couldn't deal with him -- he was constantly doing a back and forth between me and his ex. And she was crazy and obsessed with me. No thanks. Had to move on.  [/quote]
