You are dating someone for say about six months, everthing is going very well and you believe this will be the person will be the one who you will marry. He lives in a modest house, drives modest vehicles, and makes you believe up to that point that he has a modest job with a modest income. One day he brings to your attention that he has something to tell you that he has not been totally honest with. Turns out, he does not work, but instead is in the top 100 of the wealthyest people in america. He didn't want to lie, but was afraid of finding someone that was only out for his money.
Cool fantasy, but to be the top 100 he would have to have some very serious money. He would NOT be living in a modest house if but for no other reason than security. With that kind of money you would not just live in any old neighborhood in a normal home. Not to mention the ultra wealthy for the most part work 70 + hours a week and rarely have time for a fairly normal social life.
Many wealthy people are actually quite grounded and don't flaunt their wealth, but to be in the top 100 puts them in a bracket where they really have to worry about their own security and they wont just mingle with the common folks. | |

I feel it was good of him to tell you, I would be impressed that it is not all about the money to him and is tryin to find someone with the same mindset.
The guy that started Walmart, drove an old red beatup pickup truck, so there are many rich people that have found that people treat them differently when they find out you have money.
Who wants friends that just like you because you are rich? If a person inherits the money, they are just lucky, they didnt work for it, earn it, they were just born in that house. There are alot of negatives with money, resentment from poorer people, "hanger ons" that just want you to buy everything for them, then get pissy if you dont. But, you better check it out either way, he may not be telling the truth... now either.
It sucks... Good for him,

It's funny how people get bent out of shape when someone lies about their height or age which is minor but someone would have to be a pretty good liar to lie for 6 months about his job etc. and most think it is ok to lie for 6 months. | |

I've even thought that if I should suddenly win the lottery, that I would not share that information with potential dates for exactly the same reason. I would rather have someone love me for me not for my money. Can you really blame him?
Personally for me, it does not matter how much money a person makes as long as they can support themselves. I am not looking for a man to support me but one who wants to build something with me. Someone recently asked me if I had another child if I'd want to be a stay-at-home mom. We had just been discussing my sister, who was a total career woman, who just had her first baby and has chosen to stay at home. It totally threw me for a loop because since my divorce I have always worked full-time and usually part-time as well. I've learned to be totally independent. The idea of being totally dependent on someone financially scares the hell out of me.
As far as your situation, I guess you could kind of look at it like a nice surprise. However, don't get so caught up in HIS money that you lose yourself. | |

How would you feel about this situation?
I thought it was hilarious as the plot of "Coming to America" with Eddie Murphy. | |

Posted: 3/12/2009 4:56:59 AM | | Hmm...I wonder if his "modest" house is where he "lives" when he's with the OP, and his big giant mansion on the hill is where his wife, kids and the household staff live? If he's that rich, he could certainly afford to have a residence that his wife knew nothing about. | |

You only live once so why wouldn't you want the best, most comfortably extravagant life you can have??? Why live modestly when you can live like a King?

Posted: 3/12/2009 12:21:15 PM | This story smells "fishy", if you'll forgive the pun.
One of the 100 richest men in the country disguises himself as a man of modest means and goes on a FREE dating website to find the love of his life?
This sounds like the plot of a bad made-for-TV movie. | |
