Born wealthy men tend to date and mate with women from their own background, women that have high social currency. And that high social currency then manifest into physical currency.
If a woman attends Yale, she makes friends with other high status women. If she joins an eating club, she expands her network of high status women. Most of these women within her network are going to marry high powered men in the future.
When this women gets married, she opens her husband's network up to these high status women and their high powered husbands.
And establishing relationships with these husbands can lead to lucrative business connections and deals which leads to an increasing of family wealth.
Add to that, if the woman is active on the charitable philanthropic circuit which introduces her and her husband to even more wealthy women and their husbands and leads to more profitable business connections down the line, it's very easy to see how the rich get richer in their mating selections.
These are the unspoken things that women "bring to the table" that high status people are aware of that those on the bottom are not. That's why there is never a question of "what does she bring to the table to justify the financial investment" among high status people like it is among low status people. While the man is the household financial contributor the woman has social currency that helps increases the overall net worth of the family through her social endeavors and connections that leads to business deals that her husband can take advantage of.
Within the black community, these women are off limits to majority of black men, with few exceptions (Bill Cosby, among others). You won't find dope dealers, hustlers, athletes, and entertainers (for the most part) with these women because most of the men come from poor backgrounds and don't have the networks to access these women. So what becomes "high social currency" amongst mainstream black people is different among the black bourgeoisie and the "old issue negroes" and quite frankly everyone else.
