For those of you that are happy about “marrying rich”, would you want that for your daughter too? Or do you hope for her to have a great career? I am truly surprised that others are jealous of people marrying wealthy people.

I did marry rich. I married potential and it has worked out well.

This doesn't make any sense. If you divorce a rich man you get half, plus child support. You may not be as rich but you won't be destitute.


Not true.


How is this not true? Almost all states are community property states. If money was made during the marriage, it belongs to both spouses. Additionally, if there are children the children need to be provided for at both homes in consistent manners. Child support cannot be included in prenups if that's what you mean.

X100. It’s so annoying that these threads imply that these dynamics apply to rich husbands vs. rich wives; there is an exploding population of rich people of both sexes.


Lol, there is not, never has been and never will be "an exploding population of rich people."


Here’s some reference. I looked back a few years, and the numbers are up more than 50% since 2015.

Yikes… have you heard of inflation? If everyone is becoming rich then no one is rich.

Takes a lifetime of hard slog to make that kind of money though. Then you're old.

However, the moms spent their days at the gym and maintaining their looks. Lot's of plastic surgery. Many of their husbands left them for younger women.

It is easy to be envious of them based on appearances. However, once you get a glimpse into their world the jealousy fades.I think those ladies work hard for those rich husbands but it is not a secure world.

I don't judge them nor am I jealous. It is their life to lead but I don't think I would be happy.

I am sure some might have legit happy lives but they are the minority. I would rather be middle class and happy.



Sounds like those wealthy, international parents were overpaying to have their kids taught by somebody who doesn’t know that the word “Lots” does not have an apostrophe.


I always laugh when people posts these comments instead of responding to the issue. It is obviously a typo or from typing on a phone. Who cares!

Every time this happens, I feel a pang. Like, she jumped the line simply because a rich guy wanted to marry her?

How do I get over the envy and jealousy?


Remember that she has to sleep with Mr moneybags, which can get old quick if she did not marry for love.

Some high earning husbands laud it over their wives, treating them almost like employees.

At least you and your kids see that you are contributing to the world beyond home and child care, which can be rewarding and important for both sons and daughters to see.
