You can be together and not get married.

There are a LOT of benefits to being married. Especially if one of you needs to make legal decisions for the other one.

That was one of the main drivers for pushing for gay marriage in the 2000's. There were a lot of high profile cases where one of the two were nearing the end of their life, and the family that were pissed about having a "gay son" who hadn't talked to them in 20 years were the ones making the decisions instead of the husband who wasn't technically a husband in the legal system for 20 years.

There are, but there are also a lot of drawbacks to bring divorced multiple times. This also depends on how long and far the person is taking at the "getting to know each other" stage before marriage, etc as well

That's where power of attorney comes into play?

I know this woman that is a friend of a friend, she is hot by almost all definitions. She is i think 45 right now, but still looks fine. She is trying to find a guy to marry for the 6th time. Her plan is straight up pretend to be richer than she is, get married to rich growing people and get divorced and ask for significant money. Her first marriage last 10 years but 1st husband made millions while they were married and she got a 80m settlement. That's when something clicked in her. She has "earned" (I say earned because that's what she says she does) another 180m from 4 other marriages after that.

She is a complete deplorable person, but fuck if she isn't being smart here. She puts money in trust to retire well and make sure her daughter is well taken care of. Only thing I feel sad about is, she is teaching that to her daughter as well. Daughter is about to turn 18 in next year or two, and already talks about finding a billionaire for the daughter.

Only thing I would give her, she does help her friends quite a bit. Our common friend actually got around 40k for downpayment for the house. And from what I see she does treat our common friend quite well despite our common friend being just another pleb like me.

She puts money in trust to retire well and make sure her daughter is well taken care of.

If 260M isn't going to let you and the rest of your family retire in absolute comfort, you have some really expensive hobbies. That's a ridiculous amount of money.

I have only met her 3-4 times, but I'm sure she spends a lot, I don't know if in million in a month, but for sure couple of millions a year at the bare minimum. She has rented a bungalow in Singapore with a pool, that shit alone costs around a million a year.

Jesus, what a sad life. I pity her.

That's better than the leach who's gonna get married to a friend of mine. Refuses to work and is generally not a great person while thinking high of herself. Found out from a mutual friend that nobody in their friend circle likes her. Since he's got good money—nothing like the woman from your comment, but enough to live very well while being a sole earner—I really, really hope he isn't stupid and will do a prenup. Though knowing how emotionally manipulative she is, I'm not hopeful.
