I’m Engaged to a Rich Man in His 50s; Here’s How My Life Looks Now at 29

Lucy Notarantonio

Paige is 29, and her partner is almost double her age—and rich. Now, this millennial bride-to-be is giving internet viewers an inside look at her extravagant new life.

Jaime, a 55-year-old dentist and entrepreneur, proposed just five months after the couple met in March last year. Today, they live together in his mansion in Dallas, Texas.

Paige, who goes by @paigeynora on TikTok, often shares their lavish lifestyle online showcasing their travels, dining at high-end restaurants, and often address “gold digger” accusations online.

“I grew up poor and I knew I would not stay that way,” she told Newsweek. “I’ve made my own adjustments, like learning high earning skills and continuing education, but I would be a fool to marry someone my financial equal or lesser to revert me in any way.”

Paige, who works as a user experience (UX) designer for an AI platform, said she was expected to split the bill 50/50 when dating men her own age. Today, she says chivalry isn’t dead with Jaime.

A Relationship Built on Roles and Respect

Jaime said: “An age gap has shaped what I expect in a relationship because she allows me to be the man and allows me to respect her as a woman.

“She looks up to me, but I look up to her as well. She allows me to spoil her, and it softens her, which inspires me to be better and do more.”

Paige added: “Financial relationships where you split things 50/50 are a scam.

“Women are expected to be beautiful, make a house a home, work full-time jobs themselves, and be the rock for those around them.

“Hypergamy, the tendency for women to seek a partner of a higher social status, has existed since the dawn of time,” Paige said.

“The term ‘gold digger’ was created to shame women for prioritizing stability, ambition, and security in their relationships.”

Lessons From Her Upbringing

Growing up, Paige watched her parents work hard to make ends meet. She said: “I saw the reality of stress, survival mode, and what financial instability does to people—their health, their relationships, their sense of peace.

“I developed a work ethic and self-reliance that I’m proud of, but I also developed a very mature understanding of what financial security means for a woman.

“And that’s a big part of why I’m so direct about choosing stability and choosing a partner whose life aligned with the future I wanted—not because of money itself, but because I knew what the absence of it felt like.”

Financial Security and Modern Relationships

Paige isn’t alone in valuing financial stability. A global survey of more than 64,000 women across 180 countries found that the United States ranked among the top five nations where financial security was considered very important, with almost 60 percent of respondents listing it as a key factor in an ideal match.

Kindness ranked as the most-desirable quality in a partner, chosen by nearly 90 percent of respondents, followed by supportiveness (86.5 percent) and intelligence (72 percent).

Building a Life of Intention

Paige told Newsweek: “What drew me to my Jaime wasn’t only the financial part—it was the emotional safety, the consistency, the leadership, the protection, and the peace. Your bank account can’t fake those qualities.”

These days, Paige’s life feels peaceful and complete. She works in corporate UX, creates luxury lifestyle content, and is engaged—finally enjoying the stability to plan her future instead of simply reacting to life.

Paige said that, for the first time, she feels both supported and empowered—emotionally, financially, and creatively.

“Dating someone older wasn’t about chasing money. It was about maturity, alignment, and compatibility,” Paige said. “What people misunderstand is that financial stability isn’t just about buying designer things or being spoiled—those are really fun perks—but it’s more so about emotional regulation, responsibility, and lived experience.”

While their relationship doesn’t revolve around money, Paige often posts videos on TikTok showcasing her designer wardrobe—think Christian Louboutin heels and a Rolex—while sitting in Jaime’s Rolls-Royce or using his mansion as a backdrop.

“I don’t take myself too seriously,” Paige said. “I’m confident in our relationship so any negative comments roll off of my back.

“If someone wants to call me a gold digger, I’ll take the time to explain how sad it is that they think it’s a bad thing.”

‘We Learn From Each Other’

Jaime added: “I don’t think about our 26-year age gap often, we are just the same.

“Yes, it’s influenced how I think about love—I don’t relate well with women my age. A lot of times, they are stuck in their ways, and I am open to new perspectives, and I want them.

“Paige is the yin to my yang. I learn from her and her perspectives—we agree on major values, and learn from each other on the smaller day-to-day ideas.”
