Marrying for Money
There are people who marry for love and people who marry strictly for the money. Marrying for money means an elevated lifestyle during the marriage and the possibility of continuing that elevated lifestyle even after the marriage is over. Meeting a man who is wealthy and interested in marriage may be the hardest obstacle, but there are also legal considerations to keep in mind. Here's the low-down on marrying for money.

Find a place where you are likely to meet someone who is rich and single. This may include a country club, a wine club or a dating service that caters to wealthy people (see Resources below). Try to meet several people who are wealthy and single so that you will have contacts in case the first relationship sours.

Push for marriage before you are taken for granted. If you date someone for 3 years and still don’t get a commitment, there may be little incentive for your rich boyfriend or girlfriend to ever marry you. Bring up marriage often enough so that they understands that it’s what you want, but no so often that it will feel like you are being pushy.

Understand the world of the rich. If you have never been financially well-off and don’t know anyone who is, you will stick out as someone to have fun with but not to take seriously enough to marry. Study the way people with money act if you want to blend in effectively (see Resources below).

Avoid signing a pre-nup and make sure you are in the will. This is especially important if you marry someone who already has children. In some areas, the spouse is guaranteed at least half of what the partner had when he died, but this still can be contested by the children. Getting a will that has ironclad provisions for you is imperative to avoid years of litigation over who will inherit the money. If you are marrying someone who wants you to sign a pre-nup, get your own lawyer to either fight against it or to make sure the pre-nup provides for you in the event of a divorce (see Resources below).
