So I Date Wealthy Entrepreneurs and Businessmen. Does That Make Me a Golddigger?
Actually, this is one of my favorite topics to discuss. So many women say they don’t care how much a man makes, but let’s get real (especially if you’re a female entrepreneur). What’s wrong with being with a man who is financially well-off?
Nothing at all! This goes hand-in-hand with the type of lifestyle most of us worked hard (or work hard) to achieve. I’m sorry, but I’ve been there and done that with the 9-to-5 guys and it just doesn’t work for me!
But just because a guy is well-off or owns a business doesn’t mean he is ideal for entrepreneur women like us. I once dated a guy who owned several retail stores, but we didn’t see eye-to-eye as far as the type of lifestyle we wanted to live. Although he hired staff to supervise one of the stores he was running (so he could spend more time with me), he could never “break away” for more than 3 days. Not my idea of freedom!
I need someone who wants to live the freedom lifestyle and can take off and go to Europe for a month. A man who would enjoy cruising to the Caribbean for 8 days (that’s me in Belize, just back from a cruise last week). He totally understands if I have to go on a trip to Asia for a speaking engagement (and won’t get jealous either).
Do you “get” me? So never mind the people who call us golddiggers. As the quote says,
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Absolutely NOT! I think it’s the intent behind your actions that determine whether or not you’re a gold digger.. Is it from a state of lack or a reflection of your state of abundance? If it’s tied to your values, standards and sense of deservability–you will effortlessly attract wealth..

Cynthia, thank you my dear! If more women KNEW what they wanted and most importantly what they deserved, their personal lives would be a whole lot less stressful. Why? Because once you KNOW this, RELAX and ALLOW the energy to flow from you, they magnetically come to YOU. Ahhh, isn’t that so much better? Save time, effort and emotional drain…
LaTalya, yes–spot on! It is the intent. At a party in Italy a woman asked me (actually she was a friend of a friend), “Rhonda, why do you attract all the best men? I try, and try and try, but get no where. I don’t see you doing anything differently.” My response to her was it’s not necessarily about what you see…it’s about how you feel, the intent. If you want to be with a rich man at all costs and that’s your main goal, then get him or not, you will never be happy.
Jenisa, e-mail my assistant Michelle. There isn’t a woman on the planet beyond hope, LOL!
Thanks so much for posting everyone and making this blog post complete!

Hello Rhonda,
Nice article, well articulated. No a GOLD Digger is a person with faked interest in a person for what that person can do for them. If your intent is to be in a viable working relationship that benefits you and your partner- that is a mutual relationship grounded in integrity and willingness to SHARE. It is not about taking or getting over.
So- stay aware and centered in love!

This is a sentsitive one for me, as my ex is doing just that right now. Dating someone because they have money. If all you do is target well-off guys, then that makes you a gold-digger in my book. If the right guy for you in terms of values happens to not have money, and so you ignore them, or if a man tries to talk to you and you don’t give him the time of day because he does not drive a Mercedes, then yes, that would make a woman a gold-digger. If you are attracted to the mindset that entrepreneurs have, then you’re more likely to date a man that’s a business-owner, and therefore maybe more successful financially. However, I do find it interesting that most women who end up with super rich guys, and or even successful ones, were usually there before the man had money. Whereas, women that target men that way, usually don’t end up with the guy, or they do, and then get dropped for a younger version of themselves. I think its poetic justice in a way.
But let me flip the script, if a man told a group of women that he would only date women that will stay at home, in the kitchen, and the bedroom, I believe most would be offended, and call him a chauvinist. It’s the same thing.
