For those with unlimited resources, spending $200,000 to $1 million on a matchmaking service is a small price to pay in the pursuit of love. When it comes to finding “the one,” the ultra-rich expect the highest quality and are willing to invest heavily to ensure a life-long return on love. So, where do the world’s most affluent turn when seeking their perfect match? Here are four of the most elite matchmaking services that cater exclusively to the wealthy.
1. Janis Spindel Serious Matchmaking
Founded in 1993 by Janis Spindel and now run by both Janis and her daughter Carly, Janis Spindel Serious Matchmaking has been the go-to service for the wealthy seeking love. Janis’ energetic personality combined with Carly’s relentless drive has helped them cater to highly successful professionals, including CEOs, politicians, and celebrities. The mother-daughter duo has been responsible for over 5,000 marriages to date.
Headquartered in New York, they are extremely selective, only representing 200 clients annually and offering a VIP Global service for just two clients per quarter. The Global VIP package starts at $1 million plus expenses, providing clients with personalized worldwide searches and access to elite services like fashion consultants, private investigators, and concierge services. Clients can also “freeze” their contracts if they find someone they want to pursue exclusively.
“The best things in life are worth paying for, and that’s the type of service we provide,” says Janis. “We match our clients with women who embody the four B’s: beauty, brains, body, and balance.”
