A woman, seeking a rich husband, posted the following on a dating forum - ( there are websites such as seekingmillionaire.com )
I’m 25 years old. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with annual salary of $500k or above.
My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k or more annual salary? Among those I’ve dated, the richest has only $250k annual income. I plan to live in New York City, and $250k annual income is not enough.
My questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out?
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the rich people are only average-looking? I’ve met a few girls who don’t have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys!
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend?
My target now is to get married.

Response from a person claiming to be CEO of J.P. Morgan:
Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyze your situation as a business professional with an annual income of more than $500k, which meets your requirement.
From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you.
The answer is very simple, so let me explain.
What you’re trying to do is to trade your “beauty” for “money” : X provides beauty, and Y pays for it.
However, there’s a problem here: it is very likely that my income will increase from year to year, but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful as the years go by !
Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It’s not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later.
By the jargon of the Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a “trading position”. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage that you wanted. …. in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or “leased”.
Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become rich with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
Hope this reply helps. Signed, CEO - J.P. Morgan
