Finding Richie Rich
Within the sea of potential one-night-stands, short-term flings and future spouses there swims an elusive catch: the sugar daddy. Sex and the City, Friends With Money and The Bachelor have all convinced us ladies that rich, hot men are the tickets to true happiness, and who's to argue against that? Bitter hags who tout the old adage that 'money isn't everything' are forgetting a higher proverb: diamonds are a girl's best friend.
Those who have already graduated from the Gold Digging College for Contented Women are aware that Mr Loaded will not be found in the stuffy, sweaty pubs scattered through suburbia. But for those of you who are yet to receive the Midas touch, we provide you with this guide on where to find Richie Rich. Happy hunting.

Baroq House

If it's not Baroque don't fix it, and there's nothing to fix here other than a stiff drink. Even better, allow one to be sent over to you from one of guests at this uptown establishment. Chances are you'll be onto a winner.

Money by name and by nature, this place is a gold mine filled with loaded men. Art, antiques and Penfolds Grange set the scene. Allign your visit to coincide with one of the wine auctions and you'll be able to identify exactly which bidders have the wads of disposable income that they need to offload.
