“The rich don’t date like you. The powerful don’t love like you. And if you still believe in ‘forever with one person,’ you’ve already lost the game.”
Monogamy is a beautiful lie that’s been sold to the masses to keep them content, controlled, and, quite frankly, boring. Meanwhile, the elite; the billionaires, the rulers, the trendsetters live by a different playbook. They don’t settle for one partner, one love, or one life.
Sounds crazy? Let’s break it down.
Why Monogamy Is a Control Mechanism
Most people believe monogamy is the only way to have a “real” relationship. Society, religion, and tradition push the idea that finding one person, locking it down, and living happily ever after is the ultimate goal.
But here’s the truth:
- Monogamy wasn’t designed for love—it was designed for control.
- Powerful people never follow the rules of the masses.
- History proves that the richest and most influential people never stick to one partner.
Think about it. Have you ever noticed that the most powerful, successful people in history kings, CEOs, celebrities, tycoons rarely ever settle for one person?
- Elon Musk? Multiple marriages, open relationships, and polyamorous rumors.
- Jay-Z & Beyoncé? High-value partnerships
- Jeff Bezos? The richest man in the world didn’t stay locked in a single partnership, he upgraded.
- Ancient kings and emperors? Had entire harems because they knew relationships weren’t just about love; they were about legacy, power, and influence.
Meanwhile, the middle class is out here stressing about one partner for life while the elite are out here living by a completely different set of rules.
The Brutal Truth: Monogamy Is a Poor Man’s Game
Monogamy works if you’re okay with mediocrity. But if you want to play at a higher level? You need to start thinking like the rich, the powerful, and the untouchable.
- The wealthy see relationships as strategy, not emotion. They choose partners who add value—whether through status, business moves, or social circles.
- Sexual exclusivity is outdated. Monogamy was useful when people needed stable households to survive. Now? We have tech, money, and independence.
- The rich don’t play by the same rules as the broke. The middle class was taught monogamy, while the elite practice abundance.
A study published in Evolutionary Psychology found that men with higher income and status are more likely to engage in non-monogamous relationships. That’s not a coincidence. It’s a strategy.
Ask yourself: Are you thinking like a king or a servant?
Why the Most Powerful Men Don’t Do Monogamy
Let’s be real, when you reach a certain level of success, options become unlimited.
A man who builds an empire doesn’t need to be tied to one woman. Women chase him. He has access to the best of the best. And most importantly? He isn’t bound by society’s outdated playbook.
The Rich Man’s Relationship Blueprint:
✅ High-value partnerships → Power couples who understand that love is an empire
✅ Open relationships → Not about sneaky cheating but about structured freedom
✅ Multiple lovers, no guilt → Because loyalty doesn’t mean sexual exclusivity
What about women? Oh, best believe powerful women also don’t settle for just one. Rihanna, J.Lo, and even Oprah have proven time and again that loyalty and exclusivity aren’t the same thing.
“A queen doesn’t chase a king. She collects them.”
The Middle-Class Lie: “Find One Person and Be Happy”
The world taught you that love is about one person forever. That you should settle, be faithful, and build a quiet, humble life. But who told you that?
- Religious institutions? → They push monogamy because it stabilizes societies and prevents chaos.
- Governments? → Monogamous households = predictable, tax-paying citizens.
- Your parents? → They followed the script, so they passed it down.
But the wealthy, the powerful? They laugh at this script. They rewrite the rules. They take what they want.
So, Should You Ditch Monogamy?
If you’re comfortable with the traditional path, go ahead, stick to one person, get married, and live a stable life. Nothing wrong with that.
But if you’re here to build wealth, power, and legacy, you need to start thinking differently.
🔥 Monogamy is a choice, not a requirement.
🔥 Success unlocks options—use them.
🔥 Society won’t teach you this, but the elite live by it.
The question isn’t “Is monogamy bad?”—the question is, “Is monogamy holding you back?”
The Game Has Changed—Have You?
At the end of the day, you have two choices:
1️⃣ Follow the traditional monogamy script and hope it works for you.
2️⃣ Think like the rich, the powerful, and the untouchable—and live by your own rules.
One keeps you safe. The other makes you dangerous. Choose wisely.
