Meet Single Millionaires
Single ladies, if you have tired of living on peanut butter sandwiches and low rent living, it’s time to get serious about finding a wealthy man. A recent article for the Ellen show talked about eight percent of the nation’s households qualifying as millionaires these days. So marrying someone with substantial money and assets is not as diffiult as you might think. They key is finding your wealthy man.Here is an interesting list of 10 cities to help aid you in your search for Mr. or Mrs. Millionaire:
1. Los Alamos, N.M.
This place is a gold mine for singles on the hunt. Los Alamos has fewer than 8,000 households, yet one in five has a net worth of more than a million dollars. Los Alamos employs some of the government’s highest-paid nuclear researchers who, due to a shockingly low percentage of women in science, are mostly men (median age 42 and only a 61% marriage rate).To top it off the prospects are rich and smart. You’ll find folks at nearby Pajarito and Angel Fire mountains to catch a ski lift with the more adventurous types. If you are into art, Santa Fe and Taos have similar income bracket and a quick car ride away.
2. Naples/Marco Island, Fla.
This is a golf haven for men with deep pockets. Naples is probably more more “Sugar Daddy” territory than an area for young singles businessmen but with age comes experience (wink, wink).
3. Fairfield County, Conn.
Only an hour northeast of New York, this metro area is filled with corporate wealth. Conneticut is where high-paid single executives who commute to the city look to these suburbs as a place to settle their families, but Bridgeport, Stamford, Greenwich and Westport are home to Xerox, Priceline.com, Subway Restaurants and the U.S. headquarters of Virgin Atlantic. Almost one in seven households have a net worth of at least $1 million.
4. Hilton Head/Beaufort, S.C.
As a premiere resort town off the southern tip of South Carolina, Hilton Head is also attracting a growing population of affluent residents. Thus, 13.4% of its population is considered millionaire The area has 23 golf courses, 300 tennis courts, eight marinas and 12 miles of white sandy beaches. While any of these venues offers the opportunity for a brush with wealthy singles, take a trip to the town of Bluffton, just off the island, where the Rose Hill Plantation hosts seasonal polo matches.
5. Louisville, Ky.
Louisville is where you’ll find cargo shipping, fast food and liquor magnates. Single executives abound at Papa Johns Pizza and Yum! Brands.
6. San Jose, Calif.
Silicon Valley is still swarming with dot com millionaires along with single executives that work for Hewlett-Packard, Apple Computer, Yahoo, Google, Intel and Sun Microsystems. Highly-paid talent and executives and innovative entrepreneurs are busy with galleries, wine tasting and clubbing after work.
7. Washington, D.C.
Tthe suburbs surrounding DC boast single millionaires from all kinds of different industries — AOL, Sprint, Nextel, Capital One and Lockheed Martin. Head over to equestrian center and Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course at Creighton Farms, a gated community in Loudoun, Va., developed in conjunction with Ritz-Carlton, and you will be in the company of quite a few single equestrians who are worth more than seven figures. You can meet wealthy DC Singles at charity funraisers.
8. Los Angeles County
LA is the gold digging capital of the US. You can score a single man with money here but it can be difficult to pick him out of a crowd so saturated with affluence, and you’re in for some serious competition. Gold digging is a tradition around these parts. Can’t be bothered with all of the moving and shaking, the choreographed drinks, dinners and being in the right place at the right time? All hope is not lost — get on the Internet! The likelihood is, if your future husband or wife has the kind of high-powered job that earns multi-millions, they don’t have the time to serial date, which makes the task of finding a mogul much harder. But on Web sites like Match.com (search for income of $150k or more) and Sugar Daddy you can find a wealthy date online from the comfort of your home. Meet wealthy LA Singles face to face at local events and fundraisers.
