Dating in The World of The Plutonomy

Lonely upper crusters out there are shelling out millions to meet someone they've never seen and who a third party is telling them THEY WILL fall in love with?  We all know that you can narrow things down but the chemistry has gotta be there when eyes finally meet the flesh, no?

According to this article from THE DATING BLOG:

"Who are those clients? These rich and often well-known people want to steer clear of gold diggers, says Kelleher co-owner Amber Kelleher-Andrews. “They’re too busy to find love,” she says of the firm’s clients. “Matchmakers can cut right to the chase.” To be personally matched by founder Jill Kelleher, members need to fork over serious money. “A client called us last week and insisted on Jill matching him. He said $100,000 to meet the right woman was nothing compared to the $4 million his divorce was costing him from the wrong woman,” says Kelleher-Andrews."

That makes sense, but how in H.E. double-hockeysticks can a Matchmaker assure someone is not looking for a ticket to ride just because they are one of her clients who is already rich, or somehow un-rich, but still not looking to date money (even though they must be looking to date money since they are being matched up with a a lonely plutocrat)?  What's wrong with this picture?  

It makes you feel kinda sorry for the rich, perhaps for all of five seconds?  Oh, if only we had such problems!!!
