How much $ for trophy wife
How wealthy would you say you have to be (approximately) to afford a trophy wife (e.g Rupert Murdoch, whose wife is almost 40 years younger), in later life? $5 million liquid? $10 million? Serious comments please.
How much money does it cost to find a trophy wife?
note: satirical piece originally written by @anaismalcolm
Enough to buy:
- one limited edition Birkin
- two pieces of Balmain (or whatever the equivalent must-have brand is that season)
- an updated Chanel jacket
- a full wardrobe update every season (designers ranging from Vince to Lanvin so mid to high price level)
- three other designer bags
- roughly $50k in jewelry
- a week-long vacation with spa treatments
- a major art purchase (bonus for a Rothko)
- monthly hair treatments
- weekly blowouts and mani's/pedi's
- one pair of designer shoes every two months
- at least one nice dinner out per month
- treating the girl's kitten/puppy luxurious care.
That's what -- 540k in expenditures?
NOT to mention rent on a fabulous place in the Village and other surprise shopping trips.
So you need to have enough income after taxes or savings to cover that and still feel comfortable.
You NEVER want to have to tell your trophy that she can't have something. At least those would be my qualifications.
...I didn't need all that money for my wardrobe, I told him playfully. Who in their right mind spends $700 on shoes? Apparently, now I did….
That day, I joked to David that I had "made" $1,000. It was the only money I was bringing in; I had quit my job six months into my marriage to pursue my writing.
In the meantime, I realized I had gone hogwild with my newfound spending power
…..sterling trays, Baccarat candlesticks, hatboxes filled with perfume, scarves, and Roger & Gallet soaps…..

Just order one online...they generally come with a return policy
Why buy when you can just lease?
I hope this isn't why you're going into finance. If it is, much funny!
Wait, that's not the reason to go into finance? If you're serious about that, much funny.

(Edited to add on.)
I hope your a chick...
yea they have this thing called wifi so women can go on internet with out leaving the kitchen
well done. and, i agree. that way, if you're booted out on your butt when said guy goes for a different model, you can at least take the jewelry and clothes with you.
Let's be real as soon as the ring goes on her finger, she is going to take a whole lot more than just the clothes with her if she is booted. i.e condo/car/monthly tennis club fees.

Ummm, I don't know what half that stuff is!
How can a man be comfortable just paying a cent of his money for a woman?
It's the crown discipline of risky investment. Nobody ever won anything in the long term.
airfare to eastern europe plus lifetime sam's club membership
LMAO... Midas that's priceless
anaismalcom... I truly think there is a future for you as a retail trader.
you dont need much.... trick is a tw that does not know she is
.
Rupert Murdoch didn't wait until he was 70...shit happens.
Sold to you if she's a dumbass nagging bitch.
Serious comment...to a stupid ass question.
or you can just take the eddie murphy approach. Get rich then fly to Africa or eastern europe where people can't even afford clothing. Pick out a hot one and bring them back. Then they'll feel indebted to you forever. Meanwhile you can have a girlfriend and a mistress on the side. Hoooray!
well the eddie murphy approach only works until she meets american chicks who brainwash her into being a bitch and not doing shit, then if you get pissed she takes half.

Who the fuck wants a trophy wife? If you want gorgeous pussy that bad just do what rich guys usually do (expensive prostitutes/prostitutes/prostitutes) and it'll still probably be cheaper than a money hungry whore that's trying to stay with you for the rest of your life... or long enough to get half of your money.
If I was Rupert Murdoch and had a wife like his I would feel kinda embarrassed. Sure, she's hot as hell and I'd nail her in a second. But EVERYBODY knows why she's with him, and it's not because of his personality.
to actually answer the question... I bet you can get a decent looking girl for prob about 400k net worth considering the state of the majority of america today, just make sure you have it all in boats and cars
I would assume if you go shopping in a third world country for top models and such, you can probably find yourself quite a few good bargains out there.
Only problem is the information vast asymmetries associated.
I think some misunderstood my post.
I'm just realistically trying to get a feel on how much cash might be needed to "sweeten the deal" at a later age.
Yahoo answers says $200k per year that seems low to me.
Anaismalcolm I'll take that as the 'buy it now' price. With a little shopping around I'm sure that's too high.
I think your entire reasoning is flawed.
With that view on human relationships you will not hold any woman. It's like asking which jokes you need to be a comedian or what IQ you need to score to become a never-forgotten genius.
