My Dad told me
"The hardest way to earn money is to marry it."
Now I was pretty sure he wasn't speaking from first hand experience, so I was determined to test the theory.
Unfortunately all the girls I knew with rich daddies were not really all that interested in an unsexy and unprosperous young man.
Does anybody know anyone that married money and lived to regret it? Or is it just a myth.

Several
Pretty sure Anna Nicole Smith and Princess Diana didn't enjoy the $$ as much as they planned.

I married a hundredaire, if that's any help. No obvious problems thus far.

Dated a rich girl once, she liked bit of rough and I was that.
Family estate of 20,000 acres, famous relations all over the walls (and sometimes the history books) and she drove a Range Rover at 20 years old which we spent time testing in ways they didn't at the factory.
But one good look into that world convinced me that she had to marry into her own kind because those people are; although amusing and interesting, approximately one standard universe away from everyone else in relation to almost everything.

The guy she married (who was a poor boy like me) went to jail for fraud and she walked away even though they ran the company together.

So I don't know, as my data set is limited and possibly biased but I know I feel lucky.

Been there, done that
went to the same t-shirt store.

This girl was already (not-super) model material, daddy was a multi-millionaire and mummy was hot-to-trot (saw her recently and for a 60 odd yo., kinda wish I'd gone there.)

She was so vain that she had her jaw broken and endured months on pain (eased by lots of oxy no less) & discomfort to correct a *very slight overbite*. As in if you didn't look inside her jaw you'd never notice (aside from the eurasian good looks anyway...)

She used to set her "Homer Simpson Makeup Shotgun" to 'whore' just to go up to the corner shop on a Sunday morning to get some breakky & the paper. EDITED.

Vanity thy name is Tanya.

I've known several.
They've all been women who married for money, and found out that the guy was a controlling jerk. They were essentially just another possession.

And I can speak from close-up experience that people who were born ridiculously wealthy really are in a world far apart from the one that most of us inhabit. Being in the Gulf region and seeing all that oil money is amazing enough, but getting to really know them is truly an eye opener.
