Do Rich Men Want a Tradwife or a Girlboss?

But here’s the catch: the real world tells a very different story. According to the Institute for Family Studies, the men who are most successful; the ones who are high-earning, ambitious, and financially secure, tend to marry women with graduate degrees who often stay home (or work part-time) once they have children.

The truth is this: rich, accomplished men are not looking for either an Instagram tradwife cosplay or a feminist caricature of the girlboss. They want something much more nuanced: a woman who is educated, ambitious, and capable of understanding their world, but who values family enough to prioritize it when the time comes.
