Wealth, spotlight, fame - as a millionaire's wife you supposedly lead a better life than the average woman.
How do you become a millionaire's wife? Does it take a 3-year apprenticeship? And what are the downsides of this "career"?
A millionaire's wife is the wife of a millionaire and is expected to behave accordingly. "Money makes the world go round," they say, and so does the millionaire. He is powerful in a way - all that money inevitably makes him an influential person - and so is his wife. The career of millionaire's wife therefore comes with a number of obligations.

Obligations of the millionaire's wife career

  • her outward appearance has to meet an upscale dress code
  • showing emotions in public is taboo
  • she has to appreciate and honor her husband - the millionaire - in public
  • she has to come across as elegant, yet discreet
  • she should use her power as a millionaire's wife cleverly

Sounds like hard work? Absolutely. Of course, the millionaire's wife career has its perks too. Her every wish is anticipated, and she literally lacks nothing material. Yes, the emphasis is on "material." But when nothing is missing materially, dissatisfaction spreads all the more on the personal level. It's obvious that a millionaire has plenty of appointments to run through every day - a press conference here, an interview there, a charity ball over there. That leaves little time and energy for keeping the marriage going. Or is that not the case? Little room for the small things that, as is well known, matter most for feeling happy. A long hug. A relaxed breakfast for two. A trip to the movies.

The millionaire's wife career - curse and blessing

You don't have to be rich to find out what money does to a person. All the celebrated musicians, actors and artists who took their own lives - some of them at a young age - are proof that happiness doesn't lie in wealth. Every intelligent woman who is a millionaire's wife by profession will agree. Isn't it the case that it's precisely people in poorer countries who are the happiest? Why is it automatically assumed that a millionaire's wife is happy? After all, it's precisely the richest people in our society who aren't. They would just never admit it.
Women in particular are emotional beings who like to let their feelings influence them, which is admirable. It's hard for a woman to suppress her emotions permanently, yet that is exactly what's expected, if not demanded, of a powerful millionaire's wife. If you look behind the scenes of such a marriage, you quickly notice contradictions and flaws that don't belong in a relationship built on affection and trust. The millionaire's wife career is both a blessing and a curse. On a material level - but also a social one - it's a blessing. The human desire for recognition is fully satisfied in the millionaire's wife career. Admiration and influence - things people instinctively strive for. But people also strive for trust and affection - they want to love and be loved. In the millionaire's wife career, there's little room for love and affection. Here money rules - the more money, the less room for human needs.
So if you scratch the surface a little, the millionaire's wife career instantly loses its image as a dream job and should by no means be pursued by young women.
