Woman seeking rich husband is offering a ‘crappy’ deal

AN ONLINE exchange between a woman looking for a husband who earns more than $500,000 a year and a mystery Wall Street banker, who assessed her potential for romance as a business deal, has caused quite an internet stir.

The 25-year-old woman posted an anonymous ad on the free online New York community website Craigslist. “I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don’t think I’m overreaching at all,” the woman, who described herself as “spectacularly beautiful” and “superficial”, wrote.

However, the mystery banker, who said he fitted the bill, described it as “plain and simple, a crappy business deal”.
