How rich is "rich"...

[nikita]

...to fulfill the "Marry a Rich Sim" want?  Is there an actual amount that when reached or surpassed, your Sim is officially considered rich?  I just had a Fortune Sim who had that want marry a man who had earned at least 75,000 and she didn't get the want fulfilled.

Has anyone fulfilled this want with someone other than a Goth?  Do you have to reach the 100,000 benchmark to be considered rich?  Also, am I correct in saying that wealth is the total amount earned without factoring in how much of that money the Sim has spent?

The answer to these questions and more, when someone replies (hopefully).

I just had a sim get the want fulfilled when she married a sim with 48K in the "bank", but he also had a fully furnished house in the 50K bracket.

It seems to be any sim that is living in a household with total assets of 50,000 simoleans or higher. It doesn't seem to matter how much that sim has personally made either. I just had a sim marry a college graduate who moved back in with her parents and never worked a day in her life and he got the marry a rich sim want.

Ah, there's the problem.  They had just loaned money to his sister and were under the 50,000 mark.  Thanks.

To add...

Posie did a study on this - the BBS thread is here.

Very thorough and worth a read.
