OP here.

I am not hideous by any means, I'm cute but my sister is stunningly beautiful. I can see why a rich guy would notice her in a room.She's also confident and super social so people tend to love her.

I feel like, her recent good fortune regarding her love life isn't new. She has always had a "charmed" life compared to me. She was a gorgeous kid,  a very popular girl her whole life. She is beautiful, smart and put together. She has always had a lot of friends and life has a way of working out for her.

I was always the awkward loser-ish older sister who couldn't quite find my footing. In a way, its no surprise that she ended up with a great rich husband. Just another thing at life that she wins at.[/quote]

The lifestyles of the rich and famous aren't as charmed as you may think. Competitive men tend to marry beautiful women, who then are under tremendous pressure to stay beautiful through exercise, clothes, makeup, sometimes surgery and eating disorders. The pressure for her and her future kids to keep up appearances is significant. There is more alcoholism in the upper class than the middle class, and less acceptance of kids' unique interests (so no, little Grayson can't study music theory or become a social worker -- he has to be a banker like dad). Adult children become strangely beholden to their wealthy parents. If it seems like I might have a chip on my shoulder on this topic, I do. But believe me that money does not fix everything, and sometimes it makes things worse.[/quote]
