[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question about how this works in practice for uber-wealthy family. When a man marries the daughter in a very, very rich family (like CEO of a Fortune 500 company), how "lucky" financially is this man? Or is it structured so that there is only shared money between what he and the wife make during the money, and that any inheritance will go to the wife/kids? So in other words, while his life will of course be monumentally different and probably help with down payments or buying them a house, the majority of the wealth will be structured so that it belongs to the daughter and not the man marrying into the family?

Correct.

When a woman marries into a wealthy family (or marries a wealthy man) sometimes they can do a deal to be paid X amount/year, and receive X amount for certain milestones in the marriage. The hard part, especially for women (who when married to this type of guy) is that they frequently are SAHM and are not earning their own income and retirement. Frankly, I don't think it's an ideal set up not matter what.[/quote]
