I kind of had the opposite experience with two guys who were rich.
When I lived in Kansas City, my best friend was part of the Mafia, which basically runs/owns half the restaurants and bars around there in the downtown area. Never knew there was such a huge Mafia presence there until I lived there for four years. Her two Uncles ran the city.
I dated one of her "cousins" for a short time and because of that, ended up getting to know some of the family. This guy showered me with gifts. We never paid for a drink at a bar or food at a restaurant since the "family" were everywhere. We bypassed lines to get into the clubs, etc. Great life until he thought he had me wrapped around his little.........um, finger.
Then I found out that you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting someone he was ALSO currently sleeping with.
That was the bad one.
Then, I ended up meeting a brother of an uncle of hers. He was cute, sweet, down to earth. He kept offering to buy a car and a house for me. I knew I was in trouble when he bought me a diamond ring on our 3rd date and a gold tie clasp. He kept saying there were no attachments with the ring, just wanted to give it to me "because". But what the heck...a tie clasp?
He scared the Be-Jebus out me and because I was young and stupid and wanted to be carefree and not answer to anyone, I broke up with him after a couple months.
Would I do that today?

, then to be filthy rich and wanting to put a paper bag over their head, just to be intimate.
