I think most people who are affluent do look to marry others with money. For some its an image, and the idea that having $ makes them a 'good' family, and they don't want to marry down.
On a purely practical level, however, I think a lot of people who have worked hard to earn and preserve their wealth are worried that if they marry into a family with less means, they will end up fielding all kinds of requests and guilt trips for loans, gifts, support, etc. Even generous wealthy people don't want to become everyone's daddy. In my experience, those who worked the hardest for their wealth are the most generous but at the same time believe that it's important for people to really learn the value of money, know how to handle finances, etc.
Me personally---I don't come from a wealthy family but I worked hard to get a good education, work my way up in my job, etc. My husband also doesn't come from a wealthy family but I really admired his work ethic and that he has aggressive financial goals. I couldn't have married someone, rich or poor, who didn't have a strong work ethic and who didn't have some ambition to build a strong financial future for his family.

Wow, can your questions get any more inane?

Financial reasons are a BIG cause of divorce..at least in the US.
Its definitely worth hammering out the financial issues prior to marriage.
I'm so pro-prenup, its sorta not funny.
