Do wealthy people tend to only date and marry other wealthy people? (sopuli.xyz)

Red pill 'alpha' guys claim wealthy men don't care about a woman's background and will date poor women, yet they often mock women seeking rich men. In reality, wealthy men tend to date within their social class. Look at Jeff Bezos, David Beckham, or Leonardo DiCaprio—these men date successful women who are already rich or from wealthy families. Even with large age gaps, the younger partners are still well-off. It seems red pill guys overstate the idea that rich men don't care about a woman's status when, in practice, they do.

There are some wealthy people who want love and some who just enjoy arm candy. There are dating apps/matchmaking services exclusively for rich and famous people like raya. They tend to have a lot of rich men and social butterfly influencer types of women on there. But you will also find wealthy people who met their partners before the money. It's a mixed bag like anything.
