SMH. My male friends intentionally play down their wealth initially for this very reason.

My male friends can see through this faaaaaast. They smell the desperation, will use you for sex and then goodbye.
Women who have their pick are desirable, appealing women (judging by what men of that pedigree think, not what women think they should think is attractive) who do not chase men.

As it turned out, both her first and second husbands are extremely rich and come from wealthy families. They are both well known and successful in their career fields, and one is mentioned in the news now and then because of his position. I guess she really honed her rich boyfriend/husband finding skills after her experience with my now husband. 😄
She’s smart

Smart people can easily find out what they own etc. No way to hide it these days.
Most wealthy men want marriage and kids. Often they look for a caretaker type woman which is perfectly ok. Just as it is for men who desire attractive women, and yes sex. These two things with men and women will not change no matter what. If women didn't value security and lifestyle she would marry the guy standing on the off ramp, lol.

They limit their dating pool to people who were in strong career fields, or whose families were comfortably off (the Venn diagram between these two groups is nearly a circle). Then just like any other dating relationship they hit it off with someone they want to marry.
I wouldn’t say I know anyone who made it their “job” to marry rich, I would say I know plenty of people who are self aware enough to know they don’t want to be poor or to struggle.

So a woman being ‘good’ is often just being joyfully available (to borrow from the fundies). That’s the big secret.
So if that’s ‘how you snagged a rich man’, plenty of other women have mastered that same skill set
