| would a proper interpretation of this question be something like a billionaire marrying someone living in the projects?
i've never seen such an example, although i'm sure something like that had to have happened at least once.. rich people come in different varieties - not all of them were born into wealth. take bill clinton for example. and likewise, some rich people have become very, very poor. take a gambler, or someone who loves to invest on margin.
for people born into wealth/poverty, i'd say that that the chances of a successful marriage with a member of the opposite extreme are poor.. but, i also realize that there are shades of grey that make the situation a bit more dynamic than what seems to be discussed here. for most people, wealth/poverty are fluid realities that can change over time; they are not fixed. |
