Reminds me of the so-called "Dollar Princesses"-- late 19th- early
20th century American girls from wealthy families who married British
peers and baronets.

OK-- technically, the bride-to-be is Canadian. However, I guess with
the price of inflation today, even a billionaire can only afford to
"buy" a baronetcy!
