When I was a Bell Labs MTS I went out with a music teacher who made 
substantially less than I did.  He ended up with a millionaire woman
who earns orders of magnitude more.  Personality, talent, and looks
count for a lot.  I know a wealthy lawyer in NY who can't find a
wife at all, even among some very low-paid women.
