GOOD-looking, early 40s entrepreneur seeks fit and healthy, honest, down-to-earth woman to start a relationship.

Sounds like a pretty easy match, right? Oh, and did I mention our single self-made man is a millionaire?

You’d think with these credentials it would be easy enough for Millionaire Mike (not his real name) to find a date, but apparently rolling in riches doesn’t always mean lucky in love.

Mike, like many of his fellow millionaires, has had to sign up to a specialist dating agency devoted exclusively to matchmaking among the filthy rich.

“It’s difficult to find the time to date when you are busy,” he tells news.com.au.

“Internet dating is not the answer either from my experience, so turning to a specialist agency like the Millionaire’s Club gives you the opportunity to find someone special and tailor made for you.”

While Mike and his millionaire mates might be used to the finer things in life, he says he doesn’t believe rolling in riches has made him seek a partner with a similar bank balance.

“There are a variety of other factors that are more important than a potential partner’s financial position,” he says.

“It should not make any difference to a potential partner if they are right and the one for you.”

Millionaire’s like to treat their match.

So if the Millionaire’s Club founder Tracey Langdon’s theory is correct — and it should be, considering she’s been matchmaking millionaire’s up north for seven years and is about to launch a Sydney chapter of her Queensland-born agency — if Mike has said he doesn’t need a rich woman, there’s another criteria potential partners will need to tick off.

According to Tracey, if you’re incredibly attractive or extremely wealthy yourself, you might just be in luck.

While every client is unique, she says when it comes to finding a match, male millionaires come in one of two categories.

“He wants a beautiful woman at his side who usually younger and extremely attractive,” she says of Male Client #1.

“He doesn’t care what her occupation is or if she has any aspirations of her own. He is purely looking for a partner he enjoys being with. The key factor for him here is attraction.”

But don’t despair, ladies. If you don’t have it all in the looks department, you can still have another shot at letting your bank account do the talking.

“The other client wants an equal, someone he can continue to take on the world with or who is at least financially independent. ” Tracey explains.

“He may be still climbing the ladder of success and doesn’t want to risk his wealth if the relationship doesn’t last or he could just be looking for someone who can match his lifestyle.”

Tracey says that these individuals will only be lured in by mutual financial status, and attraction comes a distant second.

“If she doesn’t have the former he may bail and it won’t matter how attractive she is,” Tracey says.

But when it comes to female clients, the dating guru says it’s always the same story.

“They’re always looking for an equal, someone who can match their lifestyle and they don’t have to carry financially,” she says.

“Physical appearance for a female client is not as important as it is for our male clients. Financial status is the key component.”

Millionaire men like to treat their ladies.

And of course once a match is made, that’s when the extravagance really kicks in.

Tell us, Millionaire Mike, what’s it like to date one of your kind?

“Extravagant dates are great and I really like those dates to make a lady feel special at the right time,” our very eligible bachelor says.

“Anything from cooking a favourite candle light dinner for your lady at home with a nice bottle of champagne to a majestic fine dining moonlight dinner for two on the beach of a beautiful tropical island.”

Having made many multi-million dollar matches over the years, Tracey Langdon has seen it all from helicopters to private jets and holidays overseas.
