[quote=Anonymous]I know quite a few people who married rich and I don't envy them. Here are a few...

1.) Friend married doctor who has trust fund. The mom/grandma runs the show and makes her feel like a loser gold-digger for going to a top school and daring to be ao full time mom. She is an excellent mom and does a tremendous amount to support her husband's career, but they have needed a ton of therapy to set boundaries with the mom who is abusive toward her and to deal with the husband being so arrogant and not appreciating all she does.

2.) Old friend married another doctor from a wealthy family, but no trust fund. Same culture as family, but family treats her like trash. They were disgusted by her liberal arts major and job (which is a great job, but does not have high earning potential). Her husband just could not set boundaries and defend her and she knew having kids would make things worse. She divorced him and years later met her now husband. Much happier.

3.) Coworker married biglaw guy who cheated on her enough times she gave up and divorced him. It's a nightmare coparenting with him.

4.) Another coworker was married to a biglaw huy who never paid taxes. She stayed with him and it has been hell paying everything back. He lived large.

The list goes on...I think it was Dr. Phil who said if you marry rich, you earn every penny. Rich families can be bat shit crazy. Family money means dealing with a cast of characters who feel they have power over you. Marrying self-made money can come with the momey-maker getting too big for her/his britches and not appreciating the other one.
