Did you read my definition of rich? I didn't include any numbers.
Ok, I'll be a litte specific:
1 - Evening lectures at either museums or universities on specific exhibits or topics. But to be clear, the art crowd is a bit different (a tad more uppity) than the university crowd. Sometimes they're intertwined, but other times they're 2 different animals.
2 - Business/Property owner association informational meetings... especially if the topics cover new construction and zoning. Successful business and property owners like to stay in the know of what changes could potentially affect their revenue. Many times, they're voting on what to approve and who/what to endorse.
3 - Profession-specific mixers, such as Finance MBAs or Ad Execs, which are usually in conjunction with the city chamber of commerce.
4 - Tennis & golf tournaments, especially when they are sponsored by a major corporation. All you have to do is sit and watch. The person you sit next to may be the one who gave the green light to finance the whole thing.
5 - A rotary club sponsored event. You'll be be youngest one there and wind up meeting a man whose wife does the same thing as you. You meet the wife who in turn thinks you'd be great for her son, the orthodontist...
6 - A political informational meeting, such as city council meeting. This is where all the attorneys with $$$$ are. Remember that the most successful politicians are attorneys, and for those politicians that aren't, they have many attorneys advising and working for them in some capacity. These attorneys are the partners and senior staff at their firms.
To find when and where these events are taking place, read the LOCAL (and most of the time free) newspapers, not just the Times or the like. Many of these newtorks stay very close to the communities that they run.
I'm tellin you ladies, it's not the athletes and rappers with the real money. Not by a long shot.
Just my $.02.

This is long, but needs to be said:
Ladies, there is nothing wrong with finding a rich guy, but beware the TYPE of man you choose.
One of our neighbors is rich. For the reals rich. Old money rich. Millions of dollars rich- he is a Stanford Business School grad and friends with the dude who created Google and the people who started Ebay.. He is not some six figure LHCF standard joker. Yet, he lives in our neighborhood and not a more expensive one. He is also one of the BIGGEST tightwads I have ever met.
His wife is from Uzbekistan. Baaaby, she thought it would be lifestyles of the rich and famous and it ain't. She thought she would be marrying some rich, American guy and he would sweep her off her feet, blah, blah, blah. No, that's not how it is for her AT ALL. She is not living the U.E. life that she thought she would be.
This dude is so tight he won't pay for monthly trash service or get the house sprayed- a must if you live in our area. Roaches roaming all over said trash piled up in their garage
Homie gets all of the trash together PUTS IT IN HIS TRUNK and takes it to a dumpster himself just to save a few coins.
When we go out to eat with them (which we hate cause he's always lamenting prices) they are always sharing plates- like whole family splitting one plate of pad thai and we like to get apps/drinks/whatever. Sooooo, if we do the whole split the bill thing, we've had the whole menu while they've only had one entree. It's just easier for us to pay.
His wife is on a strict allowance. He gives her so much a month to pay certain bills, grocery, her necessities, etc. You better believe she has the heater off in the winter and the AC off in the summer to make sure she can pay with what he gives her.
Wife was preggo with baby #3. She had a 4 door Hyundai sedan that already had a booster and carseat and no room for a carseat for the new baby. Her husband said the oldest kid (7) could ride in the front seat. She said well what about when they go somewhere as a family? He said they wouldn't all be going to the same place all the time and he could drive his car separately (an old arse station wagon- who still makes those???) if need be
I could go on and on. He checks her mileage to make sure she's not using too much gas.
He has her hand him a stack of her receipts for when he's gone on a business trip.
They said they were having a pizza party one Superbowl and WHY when I showed up was it Costco take n bake pizza??? The oldest son (whose not his BTW) said he wanted more and he said he wouldn't put another one in the oven until more people wanted moreerplexed
He's got approx 11 million dollars that he made overseas that he's trying to figure out how to bring to the US without paying the taxes on it and was actually considering renouncing his citizenship to do so.
I understand a man who is judicious with money- mine def is- but watch out for stingy men, they come in all socioeconomic levels.
This is happening in the U.S. of A, ya'll. Find yourself a Sugar daddy, but make for good and dang sure that his wallet isn't super-glued shut.
Zaynab I believe we are in the same city. I am new and still learning the areas. Do mind PMing me to let me know what is considered the city center here?

She should leave him. She's already living poor.
Ugh I'm taking notes in this thread.
I think I'm doing it all wrong I've applied a lot of the tips in here but I CONSISTENTLY attract rich OLD men
I went out a couple weekends ago and three men came up to me....1 was an old italian guy with a toupee, another looked like/sounded like he was probably in the mob and the third one was 60 and told me about how he got his lung removed and how he had shoulder surgery coming up
In any case, my small contribution to this thread is to check out auto shows. I went to one a few weeks back and the place was teeming with wealthy men and they weren't just there to look
ETA: I live in a chichifroufrou area of town - LOTS of old money so I think the places I frequent skew towards the smoking jacket crowd. I go out to eat by myself quite a bit too. I'm a bit of a foodie so its fun to try out reviewed restaurants...grab a seat by a bar and chat it up with the bar staff. Its pretty fun until grandpa comes up and parks himself next to me
Here is NY there are several groups that have events and if you go you will start seeing the same faces
Also, join groups like 100 black women or other similar groups (Urban League, etc) and get to know people. You'd be surprised
Great thread! As always thanks Zaynab barbiesocialite and PretteePlease
I know a handful of ladies who married millionaire athletes and they all met during college. The ladies are all a certain type- long hair, light skin-which feeds into the "exotical" stereotype unfortunately. The guys just wanted women that looked that way, I guess..The women have no more education than you and I, they dont dress "nice", dont work out and barely cook and clean and Claim to hate sex. So not sure what other qualities they have.
I dont know anyone who has married or is dating a self made or corporate millionaire currently although I know plenty of women who aspire to do so. The pointers are very helpful and I have tried the eating alone in a nice restaurant thing myself just to see if I would attract a professional, qualitty guy and I did!! Lol... Im super shy, dont give off a friendly vibe and I have an awful mean mugging resting face-Lol...The guy said that he was in charge of the company that builds a well known breakfast chain and he was in town checking on the new project, yada, yada but I was super depressed getting out of a relationship so I didnt follow up.
Sorry for the rambling but I will keep checking for more tips, while planning to drive 30 miles to the "rich" Starbucks to get a yogurt parfait!! Lmbo!
I wish people weren't so catty or I'd post face/body pics cause I'm not the typical body type to attract rich dudes
I noticed "thin" being brought up quite often. I understand the significance and how this comes into play regarding attraction. However, what about average weight....or dare I say, a few lbs overweight?
this. some women need to learn the power of stfu.
there are too many black women that insist on steady talking 24-7. certain men dont want to talk about it and your opinion is not always welcome. sometimes it's best if you quiet down and just sit & be pretty. <--ime, there are more subtle women w/rich men than there are vocal intelligent women with them. see, this is why I know my own limits
