This is a reply from the CEO of J.P. Morgan to a
pretty girl seeking a rich husband. The young and pretty lady posted this on a popular
forum: Title: 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 City
Garden(?), $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 are only average-
looking? I’ve met a few girls who don’t have looks
and are not interesting, but they are able to marry
rich guys. 4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and
who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is
to get married) Ms. Pretty

Then came a philosophical reply from CEO of 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 worse 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.

Hope this reply helps. Signed, J.P. Morgan CEO

very nice phylosophical reply from J.P morgan. ladies have to recognise that there is only a handfull of the likes of him and Bill Gates on planet earth!!

Wow this is great,pls seun put this on frontpage for those girls who believes their beauty is their asset,imagine what would happen to their exponential depreciation asset in 10 yrs time,if u have nothing else to offer u are definately OYO

yea ceo talking as an economist,except u hav a value to add then u are not valued,apart from beauty what else hav u got

is this a joke or something?

If a lady ain't adding any value, why the hell should she be married by a man?
