Do children from wealthy families, millionaire families, billionaire families, old-money families, or whatever exclusively date other people who also come from wealthy families? What if a rich kid’s dad wasn’t rich before they became rich? Like, do you think Tyler Perry’s or Oprah’s kids only date people from wealthy families despite Tyler and Oprah not coming from rich families?
I’m not sure how much this applies to inherited wealth, but from an evolutionary psychology perspective, women on average tend to date men who are on their financial level or above - whereas for men, it’s basically the opposite, or it just doesn’t matter. It’s kind of a sad situation, really. If you’re a well-off career woman in your 30s you’re competing for the same men as a 23-year-old Starbucks barista.
