[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]19:20 here.  I should clarify.  Some of those marriages do last, but as the other PP said, he's stepping out.  The wife has just accepted it.

I should also add that I'm talking about wealthy -- not comfortable but wealthy.

I actually think there's probably a sweet spot -- a level of financial comfort that makes for an easy life but doesn't cause problems in a marriage.  But once men reach a certain level of wealth and/or power, something happens.  They either cheat or they look for trophy wives.  I'm sure there are outliers.  But in general, that is what seems to happen.

I agree with this. I am in the comfortable spot 600k, 4.5m net worth but not wealthy and this is largely my social circle- here marriages tend to be of intellectual equals and stable.

I know 3 couples where the net worth is in the 50 - 100m range. 2 of those have had affairs (on both sides). No clue about the third. [/quote]

We are comfortable-ish, but not quite in your league and see the same thing.  Stable marriages of intellectual equals -- even if the wife is at home, it's likely that the couple met when they had equal standing in the workplace.

I know several couples in the big leagues.  The ones who came from already-rich, or at least solidly UMC families seem to be a lot more stable than the ones where there has been a dramatic and rapid change in circumstances.  Definitely a lot of affairs, on both sides.  A lot of inappropriate second marriages, a lot of fucked up kids.

"Snagging" a rich man can mean a whole lot of things.  If you're looking for a good, solid relationship, I don't recommend intentionally going the trophy route. [/quote]
