A billionaire who marries a minimum wage worker has 100s of millions to lose. A minimun wage worker who marries a billionaire has nothing to lose. The minwager actually has a lot of power in the relationship even if they don't have power outside of it.

It's illuminating to think about who will be asked to sign the NDA, and why.

I’m surprised so many people chose Billionare-minwage worker. I don’t see a problem with this dynamic unless the billionaire is the boss of the min-wage worker. Even over age??

The issue should be imbalance relevant to interpersonal interaction, i.e. to get someone to act against their own interests. IQ imbalance, particularly on the low end, seems highest here.

Interesting way to compare them is by combining them in opposition. For instance billionaire w/ 85 IQ dating a minimum wage worker w/ 150 IQ. Where does the power lie?

To the people fixating on problematic element:
Power imbalances aren’t inherently problematic; it can, and often does, run both ways in the same relationship.
It doesn’t make a simple, digestible narratives, but consider a beautiful young woman and an antisocial billionaire.
