jawapan seorang CEO kepada perempuan cantik

baru-baru ini, aku terbaca artikel mengenai reply CEO J.P Morgan kepada perempuan cantik yang merasakan dirinya layak dijadikan isteri oleh orang-orang ternama dan kaya.. pendek kata, seperti gadis kampung cantik yang berimpian tinggi untuk berkahwin dengan anak dato' atau dato' itu sendiri.. kah kah kah.. hal ini tidak sama seperti di malaysia kerana aku rasa, orang kaya di malaysia ni kebanyakannya (tak semua) bukannya dari golongan cerdik pandai sangat pun, tapi lebih kepada sosial engineer.. kan? sebab tu lah wujud istilah-istilah kipas bos, kaki bodek, kroni kerajaan, jilat pungkoq menteri dan lain-lain..

berdasarkan cerita yang aku baca, situasi ini berlaku di dalam forum yang terkenal.. aku tak pasti sumber asal cerita ini.. apa-apa pun, reply CEO J.P Morgan ini sangat super cool dan boleh membuatkan perempuan cantik itu bunuh diri..

tajuk thread : What should I do to marry a rich guy?

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York . My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York CityGarden(? ), $250k annual income is not enough.

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:

1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I've met a few girls who doesn't have looks are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

reply dari CEO J.P Morgan :

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money": Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.

However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later.

By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position". If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased". Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
