Women tend not to like to admit it, but the reality is that marrying a rich man is a common "career" ambition for many women globally. Heterosexual men do not have that same option. As for why an already wealthy woman would likely choose an even wealther man: I'm not sure how prevalent this is. If this does happen, I think it's an effect of the culture where men are expected to be the "provider", pay for everything, etc. Men are expected to pay more for everything even in modern, progressive/feminist countries like Sweden. Last time I lived in Sweden, my girfriend at the time — well educated and quite progressive — expected me to pay more than my fair share even though she earned more than me. This is something you must do as a "gentleman". Come to think of it, I had a girlfriend in California and she was the same. Thinking more about it, dozens of examples are flooding into memory of wealthier women expecting me to pay more.
