Dating is already weird and vulnerable, but when you’re wealthy, talking finances can feel like dropping a bombshell.
In this episode, we explore the complexities of dating with significant wealth and how to handle the inevitable conversations about money.
Today's guest, who we'll call Alex, is worth around $133 million. His journey to wealth began with a company he founded with his now ex-wife, and he’s here to share his experiences on navigating the dating world post-divorce.
Alex started his entrepreneurial journey with multiple failed ventures before hitting success with his third company, which he co-founded with his ex-wife. After a difficult and non-amicable divorce, which involved complex asset division, Alex found himself back on the dating scene.
In this episode, Alex opens up about the unique anxieties of dating with a substantial net worth. He discusses how he avoids flaunting his wealth to prevent attracting the wrong kind of attention. We delve into the challenges of sharing financial details with new partners and the importance of finding someone who shares similar lifestyle values. Alex also shares practical advice on how to approach the conversation about money with transparency and integrity, and his personal experiences in navigating these waters.
