Here's the deal as far as I'm concerned. I own and run a multinational logistics company based throughout Europe. Within a year or two of now, it and therefore I, will be worth a few million pounds. I will be one of those fabled people, who can "buy and sell the sorry asses" of most others. But would I? No. Wealth and possessions do not make me or anyone else worthwhile to know, and certainly do not make them or me nice to know. I will be the same person I am and always have been; worthwhile to know and nice to know because I treat others with respect and friendliness. I will also become one of those people that gold digging types might find worthy of pursuit, regardless of other circumstances, (and I have quite a few other circumstances). A meal ticket, a provider and an access point for a better life by way of my wealth. Newsflash; not gonna happen. I dont care a jot whether the aspirant is poorer or wealthier or whatever - but they will not be living off me and they will not be getting their hands on one iota of my company. This isnt selfish nastiness on my part, or the sort of longview towards break up envisioned by pre-nups and all that - its about whether they can accept that and so demonstrate that its me theyre interested in, not the bank account, house and car. And if this person were wealthier than I, then that would be fine too - I wouldnt expect anything different in reverse, because contrary to what some have written here, there are some of us in the world who cannot be bought, and never could.
