A recent post about Nigerian billionaire heir Geoffrey Ogunlesi proposing to U.S. jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer with a $500k ring has sparked a wave of weird and controversial reactions. Among the more negative comments, one read: “He’s DOOMED! He should start preparing for divorce and 50-50 sharing.”
This response highlights a toxic and cynical view of relationships, particularly when wealth is involved. Why should a significant gesture of love and commitment, such as a grand proposal, be met with cynicism and assumptions about failure? The idea that wealth automatically leads to divorce undermines the potential for genuine, lasting connections.
Instead of focusing on financial outcomes, we should celebrate the love, trust, and mutual respect that form the foundation of any successful marriage, regardless of the price tag.
