A new study suggests that when it comes to love and money, some Americans are choosing the latter.
Florida and Nevada lead the nation as the states where residents are most likely to marry for financial gain, each earning a “gold-digger score” of 8.24 out of 10, according to new data from the divorce-coaching app SplitUp.
Trailing just behind were Texas with 8.23, California with 8.07, and New York with 8.04.
“I literally would have named the same five states if I had compiled my own list,” said matchmaker and dating coach Blaine Anderson, speaking with The Post. “Florida and Nevada are stereotyped as having more transactional dating cultures, especially in Miami and Las Vegas. I’ve had multiple clients in both cities tell me they’ve met women who say things like, ‘I’m looking for a man who will cover rent,’ on the very first date.”
SplitUp’s study analyzed factors including the number of millionaires and billionaires, average annual income, hourly wages, cost of living, and dating app behavior. Researchers also tracked online searches for terms such as “sugar daddy,” “sugar mommy,” “sugar baby,” and “marry rich.”
Meanwhile, the least gold-digging states — where love seems to outweigh luxury — include Maine, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, and Vermont.
