That's a fair point, but I chose those specific examples because there was a power imbalance. Brin was a co-founder of Google, where Amanda Rosenberg worked (dated for at least a bit). Bill Gates met his wife Melinda when she was a Microsoft employee (still married, 23 years).
And Phil Knight (founder of Nike) actually met his wife when she was a student in his accounting class (power imbalance #1). He then hired her at Nike (power imbalance #2) and eventually initiated a romantic relationship with her[1]. They're still married today, ~50 years later.
[1]This courtship, and the entire Phil Knight/ Nike story is told in his memoir, "Shoe Dog", which has 4.8 stars on Amazon, is highly recommended by Bill Gates, and is the best business book I've ever read.
