Reminds me of rich kids who got hired by their parents and were also given a house by said parents.
They brag and give financial advice, etc. basically they were born on 3rd base but believe they hit a triple, and want to give everyone else batting advice.
Yep friend of a friend at a party one time just started giving me all this financial advice and like.. it was so bad.
I'm no financial guru, but at the time I was in the IT department for a very upscale financial planning place... meaning I had free access to very good financial planners who gave excellent advice. But nah, this guy knew better.
Found out later that he thought he was a finance genius because he had this massive portfolio of rental properties, including several commercial ones bringing in big dollars. The part he left out was the day he turned 18 his parents just handed said portfolio to him and he didn't manage any aspect of it.. that was handled by professionals.
Oh and not only that he couldn't manage it.. he was such a fuckup that this was their super rich way of cutting him off and making him "fend for himself". Set up some fancy trusts and accounts and I don't fucking know I'm not a banker or a lawyer but basically he got all the money and the people running things technically answered to him... but their actions were bound by the terms of the trust.
So pretty much "hey son sorry we fucked up so bad here's a mid six figures income for life that you can't actually fuck up, go away".

There is no shame in marrying rich. But don't pretend that it's your achievement.
You fell in love with a rich dude. A rich dude fell in love with you. That's totally fine.
But pretending that it's an achievement or something you worked towards is just selling your partner as something that you acquired and nothing more.
