Have you personally known a successful gold digger?

I wouldn’t say I’ve known gold diggers who struck it rich.

But I’ve known many women who—despite having no academic or professional credentials themselves— would only consider marrying successful men with professional careers.

I consider that gold digging because they are only looking to marry out of their league. And the women often snag a man like this because the men in question secretly want a spouse they can feel superior to.

I have never seen it work out in the gold diggers favor. Generally they get discarded. That’s why it’s best to advise those that aren’t independently wealthy or socially dominant to develop specialized skills.

That old pic made me puke up my sandwich, op. Thx.

Yep. Family member. Hairy bitch with sideburns. Not even attractive. Has never worked a day in her life yet somehow lives in a house with a pool thanks to her various gold digging ventures and pooping out a coupla kids as leverage. She has a PhD in gold digging. She should teach a course. I would take it.

As my mother used to say, "a single cunt hair can pull an entire cruise ship". This is badly translated from another language but you get the idea.

The world of the heterosexshul, folks.

By presenting a young, fresh and dewy hole.

Yes, I know a guy who was mentored by a (closeted) gay tycoon. Got to live in the tycoon's mansion and got a cushy job at the tycoons company

I do! I worked with her. She was from a working class background and got a job in events at a big NY museum. There she met the grandson of one of America's richest industrialists (his name was on the Forbes list every year). He was a rich layabout--didn't work while she worked two jobs to "maintain" herself. Needless to say, he treated her like shit. She asked him to marry her and he reluctantly agreed. She got ALLLLL ready for the wedding (i.e., bought her own ring) and then... he decided maybe not. She took some time off and came back to work "refreshed!" Eventually, I heard through the grapevine that she was going through fertility treatments. I left my job but later found out she had his child--a son--out of wedlock. Her FB page shows her hugely pregnant with their second child, getting married at City Hall. So she eventually got her man, but I don't think he's that into her.

What do you consider successful, OP?

Pamela Digby Churchill Heyward Harriman

However, Mrs Kathleen Mortimer got her revenge at the end!!

Always keep diaries of your slutty roomamtes during WW2 London!!

Oh gawd. Don't get us fucking started!!

Yes, hs/college friend, buxom blonde got a job at a locally famous, much older, artist's gallery. They became a couple and he set her up in her own shop where she worked when she wanted. They never got married (that I know of) but had crazy relationship for like 20 years. Then she found a wealthy financial guy her own age, but still "works" not really.

Many. In NYC, Paris, London, Geneva and Monte Carlo. They are not all the same. Each filthy rich guy who wants such a person (gold digger) has different criteria.

Speaking of Melania, she reminds me very much like the gorgeous call girls out of Monte Carlo. Same era as her nonexistent Paris fashion career. They were pretty but they also looked very much like high class whores. This was the 90s and 2000s.

I am sure some action has moved from Monte Carlo to Dubai.

Real models can be gold diggers of course, too.

Real actresses as well.

Gold diggers: Nadine de Rothschild, Jocelyn Wildenstein, Meghan Duchess of Sussex, Salma Hayek, a zillion rock star wives, football wives

I also think its possible to be born into a wealthy family AND be a gold digger. For example trading up form a 50-100 million dollar family to a 20 billion dollar fortune.

Don't forget Nikki Hilton Rothschild.

Not sure the fortune of that Rothschild she married. The Hilton fortune is vast.

Golddiggers - Carolyne Roehm, Gayfryd Steinberg, Jacqueline and Lee Bouvier. Their mother.

Mrs Brooke Astor. She married. Vincent Astor after his wife Minnie Cushing divorced the "drunken, psychotic,wife-beating rage-a- alcoholic". He needed a wife, Brooke needed to marry money. Brooke Astor was a Fucking Bitch; Vincent was a man with many problems. He dropped dead, she became head of the Astor Foundation. She gave away $$$$ to everything, including the NYC public library..

Thanks to my neighbors The 2 Mrs Harkesses!!

I'm R12. I knew Brooke Astor when I was young and she was very old. She was not a bitch. She was fun and very sharp. I guess these things depend on context.

I LOVE MRS NICKY ROTHSCHILD- Plus she seals the deal with 3 children. You have to love Her!!.

Buy yes Brooke was a variety of that rich girl who needed to keep marrying for more money. So a rich gold digger. Her first two husbands were rich!

Every guy Calvin Klein, Barry Diller, and David Geffen dated

Currently that guy married to the washed up psycho who needs a conservatorship.

Here is a successful gold digger. I've never met her when she's not "on", and her public face is lovely.

Nicky married the English Rothschild family( they are beyond wealthy) You can't count how much $$$ these people have.

But in my opinion, she earns every penny she gets.

Here you can see Gabby in action over the years. She faked it until she made it. Respect for her game. She got real diplomas and has skills.

The only recent billionaire Rothschild was Benjamin, Nadine and Edmond's son. He died in 2021 at Château de Pregny near Geneva. Nicky married into the English branch, considerably less wealthy.

The Hilton fortune is several billion. Not Nicky's money though. Paris has made a fortune for herself. I would say Nicky and James have = money.

A "gold digger" of middle class income. She was his secretary, he owned a construction company. According to her #girlboss interview, her husband encouraged her to start her own neon sign company (not making this up) and now she's a CEO and posts a bunch of feminista crap on her Instagram.

In reality, they own a nice home, afford multiple international vacations a year and nice clothes on his dime. She basically leveraged her relative youth and looks for money.

R7 here. I think I'm one of the only people on this thread who can claim they KNEW the gold-digger in question. This is my snarky way of bumping the thread. :-)

I wouldn't call myself a "gold digger" per se. Although, I am living in a mansion rent-free.

Currently, I reside in Cher's shoe closet and I've been here almost a year.

So when the Ukraine war started, Cher said that she would let Ukrainian refugees stay at her place.

Technically, I'm not Ukrainian but I'm pretty sure a couple of my ancestors are from that part of the world. And besides all that, I own all this bitch's albums, so in a way, I've paid for this real estate.

If I could turn back time and unwind this lie, sure I probably would. But I'm here now, and the housekeeper brings me left-over scones every other day.

To R30, are you trying on Cher's shoes and clothes? Are you eating okay? Are you enjoying your time in the USA? What is Cher like, is she using you as a sex toy?

[quote]The Hilton fortune is several billion. Not Nicky's money though. Paris has made a fortune for herself. I would say Nicky and James have = money.

[quote] The Hilton fortune is massive—around $4.5 billion, according to Reuters. But Paris' grandfather, Barron Hilton, announced his plans to donate 97 percent of his money to charity back in 2004.

The majority of money that Paris and Nicky's father, Rick, has is of his own making - it's why his wife is whoring herself on a reality tv show. If Barron actually donated his wealth, it left less than $150mm to be divided up among his heirs - he had eight children, including Rick. More than most of us will see, but hardly enough to live the type of lifestyle these people think they are entitled to have.

Family friends of ours were planning their daughters wedding. The father was a very senior banking exec on Wall Street, he traveled the world for business. The maid of honor (best friend of his daughter, the bride) “happened” to be traveling in Europe while the big banking exec in London. They met for lunch to “discuss the wedding.” Fast forward a few months later, the father of the bride left his wife and took up with the maid of honor. I cannot recall if the news broke before or after the wedding (this was many years ago). The father got a divorce from his first wife and married his daughter’s best friend and the family doesn’t speak to either of them anymore.

R33 Bravo, that's the way to do it!

My brother knew one. She was blond and pretty. He met her during college, where she was studying law. She met a guy about 15 years older from a rich family. They married and had kids, so she never used her degree. Didn't need to. She used her vagina and good looks to secure her financial future. Things nature gave her free. The degree merely served as a 'stamp of approval' that she was worthy of marrying and breeding with. Like the ribbons show horses get.

Oh, to be born a beautiful female...

*a beautiful female R35. Ugly, average or old women get treated like shit. You wouldn't want to be them.

Sorry R35, read your post too quickly lol.

R1, if the woman is pretty, then the rich man is not out of her league.

Men's social currency is money. Women's social currency is looks. All the time you'll see rich men (who have let themselves go) marry pretty women 20 years younger than them. I find it gross, even when both sides seem to be OK with it.

Not making this up - worked with a Wall Street guy who married a stripper. He was a little weird, but not ugly and under 40. She seemed sweet and was very pretty, but also looked like a stripper and it was obvious she was neither educated nor smart (if she was one or the other, it might not have seemed so weird).

But I guess she wasn’t too stupid because she got him to move to a 50-50 community property state and then divorced him. Not sure how that works, but that’s what the gossip was.

Funny you mention it. A girl I went to high school with used to date "older guys" and they'd pick her up in nice cars. One day after we graduated I told her one of my guy friends wanted to ask her out and she told me to tell him not to bother because he didn't make enough money. Fast forward a few years, she's moved out to LA, been in some Playboy supplemental magazine. Gotten some new lips and boobs. She dated some Hollywood douchebags and settled with some Armenian real estate guy and she had some kids that she never showed their faces in FB photos which I thought was a sign of maturity, but turns out the kids are "breathtakingly ugly" and the few pics others have seen are filtered all to hell. I heard last month that her husband lost a shitload in crypto and she's looking around for another sugar daddy.

I’ve know people who only dated rich people and eventually married into wealth. They were successful and driven Ivy League graduates who brought something to the table, but they had a plan and stuck to it.

[quote] As my mother used to say, "a single cunt hair can pull an entire cruise ship".

She sounds like she was a classy dame, your mom!

I worked with lots of them for years.

[quote] Have you personally known a successful gold digger? How did they attract a rich partner?

A world class ass and an insatiable perfect hole.

I didn't personally know them but this Romanian twink for sure. He gets lots of money for life now which will go a long way in super-cheap Romania.

A couple moved in down the street from us. He was a broker and he met her while she was working at The Men's Club, the most exclusive titty joint at the time. Early 90s. For some reason he married her but the neighborhood scandal was she was getting paid by a neighbor to talk dirty to him over the phone while he jacked off. Fairly tame compared to some of the shit that happened in that neighborhood though. Talk about a Peyton Place.
