Feb. 28th, 2008 05:23 pmHow To Find A Millionaire (Or Billionaire)

Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are gone. So is Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison.
They're all no longer billionaire bachelors.
But don't fear. If a high-net-worth mate is your ideal, a plethora of dating sites offer an inventory of men who say they earn at least six figures annually. You can troll sites such as MillionaireMatch.com, Sugardaddie.com, DateAMillionaire.com or the humorous Marry-An-Ugly-Millionaire-Online-Dating-Agency.com to find deep pockets. (Men seeking sugar mamas on these sites typically have fewer choices because profiles of wealthy men tend to outnumber profiles of wealthy women.)
In Pictures: Where The Millionaires Date Online
Sure, these find-a-rich-guy sites might sound dubious, but they insist they provide a valuable service to wealthy people who are too busy running businesses to hang out at bars, clubs and other social venues. "It's a matter of convenience," says Steven Pasternack, chief executive of Miami-based Sugardaddie.com. "These guys work a lot of hours. It's very convenient to sit in your office and look through a catalogue of women" on your computer. Lucky them.
It's also cheaper than traditional matchmakers. For instance, both Sugardaddie and MillionaireMatch charge members about $20 a month, while high-end matchmakers charge clients thousands of dollars.

Whilst I agree, that meeting an affluent man is good, I am not quite keen to go to a website where the person's affluence is the main selling point for an interested person to consider. Otherwise, do we not fall under the 'gold diggers' category' by wanting to see only those whose net worth is over a million. Am I being naive in this?
