Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor	comment	One of the most common complications in the classic Love Triangle scenario. Two men are vying for a woman's affection. Who's the right one? It's hard to tell, but there's a good chance that one of them is considerably wealthier than the other, and he can provide security, glamour and the good life, while the other (who has a good chance of being an impoverished artist) can give none of the same. What are you gonna do? Most of the time, it's going to be "go with the poor one," and the story will carry an Aesop that true love is worth more than material wealth. This makes sense if the rich one is a total bore or outright jackass, or the woman is just not in love with him as she is with the broke one. After all, it's simple Rule of Drama that our leading man isn't going to be wealthy and a great kisser. When done poorly, the rich one often ends up as the Designated Villain. This trope overlaps considerably with Wrong Guy First and Disposable FiancÃ©, but keep in mind that the rich suitor is not necessarily wrong, first or particularly disposable. This trope is most often "two men and one woman" because of a sense that a woman needs someone to "provide for her". This sort of logic ties into Unable to Support a Wife and generates part of this trope's conflict. If the suitors are also a Betty and Veronica pair, the dynamic will typically be either "poor but kindhearted vs. rich but haughty" or "poor but exciting vs. rich but boring suitor," being obviously slanted toward the poor suitor in both cases. In fact, having the rich suitor win or even be a decent, likeable person is rare with this trope (but Not a Subversion since this trope isn't explicitly about their personalities). If the poor suitor is portrayed as the bad guy, it's usually a Gold Digger situation where he's deceiving and exploiting her. Compare Gold Digger, Meal Ticket, and Uptown Girl. It can involve Compete for the Maiden's Hand.

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor / int_11c29fc4	comment	Haruka Nogizaka's Secret has Nogizaka Haruka, the wealthy and popular High School student, who is the love interest of Ordinary High-School Student Ayase Yuuto, the "Poor Suitor" (middle-class but, if you compare him to Haruka and the "Rich Suitor"), and Shute Sutherland, who demeans Ayase in any given opportunity. Ayase Yuuto's self-steem issues are more of an obstacle than Sutherland, who isn't even a regular character.

Later on they technically remain Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor, but it doesn't have any impact on the situation, and Chihaya only cares about abilities in playing karuta anyway.

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor / int_17e6cb15	comment	Bojack Horseman has the two suitors for BoJack's mother Beatrice, the working class Butterscotch Horseman and her selected rich suitor, Corbin Creamerman. She picks Butterscotch after he gets her pregnant from a one night stand and he offers to marry her to preserve her honor (only after she refuses an abortion). We then see how their relationship falls apart; Butterscotch's plans of becoming a novelist are stymied by his poor writing abilities and being stuck in the past, and Beatrice doesn't know how to get along without the comforts she knew growing up. Both of them take this out on BoJack, seeing him as the thing which trapped them in the marriage.

Picking Mendosa gives you a considerably happier ending where the two of you live a wild, love-filled life and eventually come into money too; while Torres is genuinely sweet and devoted to you, you never truly love him and wonder what could have been if you had followed your heart more.

Lorelai has to choose between gruff, working class Luke, who is her best friend, and glamorous, flighty childhood friend Christopher, the father of her daughter Rory, who belongs to the wealthy lifestyle she abandoned. She picks Luke. In Season 6, her daughter Rory has a similar choice between rough, rebellious, writer Jess and overconfident, insanely rich, high-class society Logan. In an odd twist Logan wins (for reasons that are never really explained), he gets better but Rory breaks up with him later, leaving her ultimate partner unknown.

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor / int_23945975	comment	From the Disney Animated Canon: In Lady and the Tramp at first, there was going to be this, with The Tramp competing for Lady's affections with a rich neighbor family's dog named Boris. Eventually, the neighbor roles were given to the characters of Jock and Trusty and Boris was moved to elsewhere in the film. In Beauty and the Beast, Belle has two suitors over the course of the film, the huntsman Gaston (Poor) and The Beast (Rich), a prince who lives in a magnificent castle and whose servants make up much of the cast. She never shows any real interest in Gaston despite his obsessive pursuit of her, and eventually chooses the Beast aka the Rich Suitor once she helps him realise that he must become a kinder person. Given a bit of a twist in Aladdin, where Jasmine falls in love with "street rat" Aladdin and doesn't much care for this Prince Ali who comes parading down the streets with an ostentatious display of wealth and possessions. The twist, of course, is that "Ali" is actually Aladdin who's been turned into a prince by Genie. Jasmine only begins warming up to him when she figures this out and he begins acting more like himself. And it was not like she knew she had a choice between the "two of them", since Jafar lied to her by claiming Aladdin had been executed (as part of his plan to use Aladdin to get the lamp from the Cave of Wonders). Gender-inverted in The Princess and the Frog, where Prince Naveen, cut off by his parents, chooses to marry the rich Charlotte LeBouffe] for her money... before falling for her poorer friend, Tiana. It seems like he might have to marry Charlotte even after choosing Tiana, but Charlotte does away with that issue herself. Frozen (2013): Princess Anna falls in Love at First Sight with Hans, a prince from a neighboring kingdom; they later agree to a Fourth-Date Marriage. Kristoff is a grumpy ice harvester living alone with his pet reindeer, and chides Anna for agreeing to marry a guy whom she just met. During the betrayal scene, Hans turned out to be a Gold Digger seeking Arendelle's throne. After learning her lesson with Hans, she takes it slowly with Kristoff. At the end of the sequel, Kristoff and Anna finally marry and live Happily Ever After.

Lily herself grew up in a middle-class home in the same town as Snape. Harry's father, James, came from a wealthy pureblooded family whose wealth was greatly compounded by a hair potion his father, Fleamont invented. James was also something of a magical Jerk Jock and a troublemaker while in Hogwarts, though he matured out of that later. Given Harry's existence, it's pretty easy to see whom she fell in love with (hint: it's the rich one).

Arcite wins the physical duel for Emily's hand but suffers fatal injuries when his horse throws him off during his victory celebration, making Palamon the winner by default. It's also worth noting that Emily prayed to Diana to either remain unmarried or become married to the man who loved her the most which implies that Palamon's love for her was purer than Arcite's, something that is usually not done with the rich suitor.

The situation gets turned on its head when Charles is discovered to be legitimate when papers legalizing the marriage are found, leaving John with nothing; despite Charles' altered circumstances, Maria declares that she would have chosen him regardless, having resolved to elope with him rather than marry John.

The woman ultimately chooses to run off with the poor man. Unfortunately, he turns out to be the wrong choice her future self had tried to warn her against. The poor guy is predictably lousy at handling money and runs the farm they depend on into the ground.

It's the closest to a Love Triangle in the whole game, since the MC can romance all the girls at the same time (before deciding on one at the end)... but that can't be done with these two. It's either one girl or the other. Additionally, this may be played straight in Mikae's path too, only with the MC as the Poor Suitor and The Casanova Toshio as the Rich Suitor (he's implied to be from an upper-class family, unlike middle-class MC who has a part-time work).

The commonly-known story is that Flemeth was married to a wealthy lord named Conobar, but fell in love with a traveling bard named Osen and ran off with him. Morrigan, however, relays a very different version of the tale, supposedly told to her by Flemeth herself: that Osen was her husband, and Conobar a jealous onlooker. According to this version, Flemeth offered to trade herself to Conobar, in exchange for his giving Osen wealth and power, which they both accepted; as Morrigan puts it, "love fades in the wake of hunger." Conobar, however, had Osen murdered so he wouldn't have to keep up his end of the bargain. Flemeth eventually found out, and summoned up spirits to kill Conobar...

Unusually for this trope, Lux is only in the equation because Krulcifer asks him to pretend to be her lover to stop her family from forcing her into marriage. Krulcifer proposes that they settle things with a duel, which Balzeride loses and hence attempts to cheat. He's disgraced and imprisoned as a result, while Lux ends up being accepted by Krulcifer's family as an acceptable suitor.

In the second game, you have Miranda, the "daughter" of the richest man in the galaxy, competing with Jack, a convict who has just been sprung from prison. They all vie for the Player Character, with the first pair cornering you and asking you to choose, only if you romance them both initially.

Rose prefers Robin, partly because his moral character is superior and partly because she's a Gold Digger, but turns to Richard when Robin's true identity is revealed, which invokes the curse that requires Robin/Ruthven to become a career criminal. When Ruthven breaks the curse with a Logic Bomb at the end of Act II, which allows him to become good again, Rose pivots back to him.

In an interesting twist, the rich suitor actually wins (sort of). The poor artist wanted to get Lizzie elope with him to Italy after impregnating her, but Lizzie realized that she loves her luxurious lifestyle that her fiancÃ© could provide her more than having to live with a penniless dude for the rest of her life, so she killed the latter to cut off her ties with him.

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: In the backstory, Catelyn Tully was betrothed to Brandon Stark, heir to one of the great houses of Westeros, but also the object of the affections of Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, her childhood friend and heir to a minor house. Petyr challenged Brandon to a duel for her hand which resulted in Brandon giving him severe injuries; when Petyr was well enough, he was banished from the castle. Ultimately, Catelyn didn't marry Brandon because he was executed by the Mad King Aerys II and married Brandon's brother Ned, with whom she had a happy marriage. 15 years later, Petyr, after rising in the world, used his influence to get Ned killed and kick-start a devastating continent-wide Civil War that ultimately claimed Catelyn's life, using the resulting chaos to accumulate titles, money, and Catelyn's daughter Sansa. There are numerous wrinkles to this example. First of all, Catelyn isn't interested in Petyr romantically and doesn't take his advances seriously. As The Dutiful Daughter, she doesn't protest against her engagement to Brandon (it helps that he is rather handsome and charming, which isn't a given in Arranged Marriage), but doesn't know him that well and when she has to marry his brother, she's not torn about it either. Her sister Lysa is in love with Petyr, but he doesn't reciprocate; she tricks him into sleeping with her and becomes pregnant, thinking she could then marry him... But ends up forced into aborting the child and marrying older Jon Arryn, who as lord of the Vale is technically the rich suitor in this scenario. Lysa never stops loving Petyr, which allows him to use her for his plans - but he never reciprocates, ultimately murdering her for threatening Sansa.

So much, that Professor X named Beast as the leader of the X-Men since he had compassion and cared to endear himself to his teammates. This caused Cyclops to storm off and join the Brotherhood.

However, she Takes a Third Option when she trusts in the seraphim, who takes her away to be with God.

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor / int_d31cdea	comment	A variation appears in the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy where Katniss has to choose between Gale and Peeta. Depending on how you look at it, Gale can be the poor suitor and Peeta the rich suitor or the roles can be reversed. Gale was born in the Seam, like Katniss, and is by that definition the poor suitor. Peeta was born merchant, which doesn't make him rich but still better off than Gale, and after the first book he's got enough money to last for the rest of his life. On the other hand, Gale is a hunter who brings home fresh game and is able to support a family while Peeta is a painter and a baker who would probably be in trouble if he lost his Games' winnings. About halfway through the book it's clear that the one who won Katniss' heart is Peeta.

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor / int_d4f9ccf	comment	Given a bit of a twist in Aladdin, where Jasmine falls in love with "street rat" Aladdin and doesn't much care for this Prince Ali who comes parading down the streets with an ostentatious display of wealth and possessions. The twist, of course, is that "Ali" is actually Aladdin who's been turned into a prince by Genie. Jasmine only begins warming up to him when she figures this out and he begins acting more like himself. And it was not like she knew she had a choice between the "two of them", since Jafar lied to her by claiming Aladdin had been executed (as part of his plan to use Aladdin to get the lamp from the Cave of Wonders).

At first it seems like the story is heading in the traditional direction, but then it turns out Yang Sun doesn't love her back and is only playing on her sympathies for his own advantage. (Meanwhile, Shu Fu seems genuine in his devotion and offers of support, but Shen Te is unwilling to accept him just for his money, and there are hints that if she got to know him more closely he wouldn't be a better man than Yang Sun.) The situation remains unresolved at the play's conclusion.

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor / int_d6c8b253	comment	Parodied in the spoof melodrama "Sweet Ermengarde". Young and innocent (or so she'd like you to think) Ermengarde has the standard melodrama heroine choice between 'Squire Hardman, a rich and evil Dastardly Whiplash who holds the mortgage to her father's land, and Jack Manly, the poor but honest and handsome young man who's loved her since their school days. Hardman gives up the pursuit halfway through the story when it occurs to him that, since he's threatening to foreclose on the land to force Ermengarde to marry him so he can inherit the land, it would be simpler just to foreclose anyway and leave Ermengarde out of it. He is then replaced by a different rich suitor, a city sophisticate who tempts Ermengarde into eloping with him, only for Ermengarde to push him out of a moving train when she realizes he's only after the land as well. Meanwhile, Jack has gone off to the city hoping to prove his worth by making his fortune and buying out the mortgage, but comes back penniless and married to someone else. Ermengarde becomes rich through a Long-Lost Relative, buys out the mortgage, and then forces 'Squire Hardman to marry her so she can get his fortune too.

And of course the a show-within-a-show they're planning has the exact same love triangle — inspired by said conflict, but this time featuring a courtesan torn between a poor sitar player and a villainous maharajah. However, while he is very definitely the villain of the film, the Duke does still get a chance to comment on the love triangle and question why he's the villain in this situation:

Apparently living in a large loft in Brooklyn, having gone to expensive private schools, having an Ã¼ber rich stepmother who gets you prestigious internships, riding around in limos, traveling the world and having published a best-selling novel and making a ton of money off the deal in your early twenties is the same as being poor. Ironically, the rich suitor in this scenario (Chuck) spent the first episodes of season four living on much more limited means than Dan ever did. Most fans found the pauper angle for Dan downright ridiculous.

She obviously chooses Lundi, as the Count (given his personality), never stands a chance. There's another triangle later, with Elegant Classical Musician Leonhardt "Leon" Aschenbach as the Rich Suitor to Lundi's poor suitor. In a variation, this happens after Lundi and Jeudi have gotten together, but by these days Lundi is MIA and believed to have died in a Heroic Sacrifice, and not to mention Leon is portrayed much more sympathetically than the Count. When Lundi turns out to be alive and reunites with Jeudi, after some pep talks Leon accepts that he's the Unlucky Childhood Friend and wishes them well, asking Lundi to protect her in his stead.
