If you were filthy rich, would you be cautious about marriage?

If you were the CEO of a company, movie actor, rockstar, or just some asshole who inherited a large sum of money, would you be cautious of marriage? What's there to be cautious about? Gold digger, putting the toilet seat down, and most importantly, divorce! I was reading about how Kelsey Grammer is going to lose half of his fortune to his wife. You have all this money and your significant other, who you now despise, takes half of your money and drives off with Javier, the Guatemalan gardener.

I guess that's what prenups are for. :tongue:

*high five if you knew the gardener reference*

My net worth is a little over 90 million.

I don't worry about marriage. I make my lawyers do the work needed.
 
Problem.

Why are you worrying about a stupid wireless bill in another thread then? Isn't that what you're lawyers are for?:tongue:
 
Of course. Then again I wouldn't be going with every pretty face that winks at me either. Bill Gates seems to be one of the best examples of being filthy rich and not having to worry about any of those pesky divorce consequences.

I think its important for anyone with money/assets to get the prenup. You can love your partner all you want, but you can never predict how ruthless they'll become when you inevitably get divorced. Especially if they bear your children....that alone will fuck your bank account dry. (children are well worth the expense though)

I dunno if I'd be cautious, because money doesn't mean much to me honestly, but I wouldn't want my wife getting a whole bunch of money that she didn't earn/deserve, especially if she did something to separate us. I honestly can't say whether or not I'd want one, but I don't ever want to get divorced, so I can say that I haven't ever thought about it.
 
Careful with those prenups though, they can be contested and thrown out
 
Cautious? I wouldn't even think about getting married.What's the point?

With the divorce rate so high,it amazes me that every couple thinks that their marriage is gonna last.Now just add X amount of millions of dollars and that's supposed to magically make everything work?Then you get the divorce and you have to give up half of your shit,if not more,even if she didn't do a damn thing to earn any of it?!

The whole institution of marriage is a joke to me,so if I were filthy rich,it would be nothing but an endless supply of high class hookers.
 
if i were filthy rich i'd hang out at the playboy mansion constantly i'd support my children but never marry...i kid i kid if i were rich i'd be amazed i had so much money then! i'd start an adult film/magazine company then! i'd marry a pornstar! then when she divorced me for being a pervert i'd quickly be amazed by how my money disappeared! then i'd marry a nice chaste mormon girl! then when she divorced me for being a pervert i'd be amazed at how i had no more money....then i'd have to shoot myself in the face i suppose...and that! is my answer :D
 
I'd hire a contract killer : a corpse won't get half of my money...

I understand he tried to call some stars and wound up having a irritating long-distance call to a bar at Alpha Centauri :rofl:

But seriously, I think wether you are rich or poor or, god forbid, filthy rich, you should ALWAYS be very very cautious about making a bond for life.
 
Everybody should be cautious about marriage in the fact that they better make sure the person they are about to marry is somebody they love and want to spend the rest of their life with. I think too many people don't take marriage seriously enough or think it through.

I've never been a believer of prenuptial agreements. If anybody even remotely feels they might need one or remotely has to question their partner they shouldn't get married. It's as simple as that. Marriage should be something that a person is either completely sure about or completely knows it’s not right. It's pretty much like saying to your partner, "I know I said I love you, am your my soul mate, I've created a sacred bond with you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you....but I just don't trust you so I'm doing this just in case." It completely makes a mockery of the reason one usually gets married and shows them as false.

Totally agree! I think money is just one of many complications that go into the decision to tie the knot. Granted, there are those "gold diggers" out there, but too many people don't think out marriage enough before they take the leap and then wonder why it failed.
