Re: What's to stop the wealthy from marrying people less wealthy than them for other considerations - appearance, kindness, compatibility?

A costly divorce.


Ahhh, very cynical. There's no love, it all comes down to money in your world. Anyway, that may be an issue for those in the multi-millionaire circle that you evidently run in, but people with just ~$200k in net worth will marry a person with net debt of ~$30k, and hopefully the potential success of the relationship outweighs the potential loss of $100k in an unfortunate outcome of divorce. If not, the marriage probably isn't going to work anyway, so they should stay single and date......
