    I'm not planning on getting married until I am much older (maybe around mid-thirties), so if I was a billionaire, I doubt I would even get married at all. I'd probably pull some Hugh Hefner shizz and just have young girlfriends all the time.

    Lebron's baby mama is Savannah Brinson, She's his high school sweetheart not some bimbo he met at a nightclub.

    Wade's wife Siohvaughn is also his high school sweatheart. I don't think he's really dating star.

    Neither of them are hot but they were there before the money and i think that's pretty important.

    I don't want to get married now, I've never wanted to get married, and I still wouldn't want to get married no matter how much money I had.

    I've been married for 30 years and love my wife. If I "came into a fortune," we would have an incredible time! So yes, I'd be married. Now, if I had never met her, I might have a different viewpoint. ;)

    Would a Peice of Paper and a ceremony make them walk out of your life?
    If so . . they I would be concerned if they did not love me enough to 'not live without me'

    I would not Marry
    Honestly it is simply business. . . Risk Reward
    the Risk is too high

    As I said. . . I would be one of those people that we would be a couple
    but
    would probably never marry
    [I don't beleive in Common law crap either. . .so I would maintain a residence]

    I would probably treat her like a life
    but I would reject the opportunity to allow 'The Gub'ment' In my life like that
    if i didn't have too

    My interpretation of the OP is .. LEGAL MArriage
    Meaning alot of downside not alot of upside

    Wife or simply baby mama? There is a HUGE difference.

    I don't think their married yet but i'm sure its just a forgone conclusion, their always together.

    You know, cheaper to keep her, it would cost him more to pay her child support.

    Either way for most athletes it should be obvious that some model chick wouldn't want them if they weren't stars. I think being with some girl you met in HS even for Lebron is better than getting married to some chick you met after you were a millionaire. After you're a millionaire/billionaire and famous it is impossible to find a sincere woman.

    only if there's an agreement that if a divorce happens I won't lose half my fortune, I could stand 10-15% of my fortune but that's it.

    If that keeps the lady from getting married then you know she is only in it for the money.

    Assuming I met my wife....absolutely. No question about it. And then I'd marry her again like Doug Christie, though probably not 30 times like he did.

    I would not get married. But I would try to father as many children as possible. That's because making babies is an essential human instict, whereas marriage is a made up ritual. So if you have the money to support alot of kids, then what should stop you. Besides some women are only after money, so...

    I wouldn't trust 'the love of my life'.. if i had met her, loved her and then lost her before the millions/billions.. and then suddenly had her.. starting to hint at a possible reconciliation.. AFTER.. I was 'set' in my life.. financially..


    especially if one of her issues/problems with prior relationship.. included the word "struggle"..
