It's an entertaining joke, but I think most people wouldn't want a partner that mainly chose them because they have money.

(Certainly there's a baseline: most people want a partner with at least the financial resources to take care of themselves.)

That type of partner is commonly referred to as a gold digger. It's very rare that gold digger will tell you the honest reason why they're with you.

It does happen though. There's an extremely high profile couple in the US. She was asked in an TV interview if she'd be with him if he wasn't this rich. She responded "do you think he'd be with me if I wasn't this pretty?". Brutally honest I tell you.

Of course they wouldn't, but compared to not having no partner at all?

How about a partner who chose you because you had money, but stayed because less superficial things?

It's maybe sad, but it's not so surprising.
