Forbes revealed their 2022 list of America’s richest self-made women and number 21 is Rihanna with a net worth of 1.4 billion dollars.
This sparked the conversation on 959 Breakfast with Dineo and Sol around money dynamics in relationships where the woman earns way more money than the man. “Does money have a power transfer,” asks Dineo.
Sol says he’s dated a woman with more money than him. “It’s not her who really bankrolls the relationship. Maybe one weekend we go away and it’s an expensive weekend she’ll cover that. But it’s not like now she is supporting me and paying my rent and buying me clothes.
“It never pierced my ego because it was never about money,” he shares.
Anonymous, who’s been with her partner for three years says “family is putting pressure on her” because she has a house and a car and the boyfriend has none. They’ve asked her “what’s the point of marrying him if he’s not going to do anything for her financially.”
She adds: “Sometimes it does hurt having to be the one who pays for most things because we do want to get spoilt at the end of the day.”
