Each to their own. If you don't have hobbies or a lot of friends, kids, activities etc. you may get bored.

It's nice to be able to choose what you want. Just don't be jealous of others.

Even trophy wives do more than that, lol. I would stop dreaming and find a guy with a decent income that doesn't care if you work or stay home.

Inner suburbs is lousy with SAHM -- as WOHM I feel in the minority, especially among DS classmates

I am a trophy wife but my DH of 35 years doesn't yet know it!

It depends.

If I could have fallen in love with a very wealthy man that was rich enough I didn't have to work and instead pursue my own interests, then yes of course that would have been desirable.

But that's not how love works. I fell in love with a man that is not rich but who I would change for nothing.

I daydream sometimes about being retired young, which is basically what a trophy wife is. I've always worked but I have enough hobbies and volunteer gigs that I could absolutely fill my time without a full-time job. It would be amazing.

Maybe you already are a trophy, from whatever kind of contest from hell that your DH won.

I have plenty of day dreams that I know wouldn't be nearly so awesome in real life, but it's fun and harmless to imagine.

Does your daydream include hashtagging the brands you're wearing on Instagram?

That would be so sweet.

Many women want to be a trophy wife however very, very few are attractive enough to pull it off.

That's not how it works for 99.9% of the population.
You'd get bored pretty quickly, OP.

Is it wrong? No. Is it stupid? Yes.
