Best Places to Meet Millionaire Singles in Chicago

Chicago is known to be one of the most important cities in the United States, both in terms of economy and infrastructure. The city houses some of the wealthiest men in the Midwest, making it a perfect place for millionaire dating. Here are some ideas on how to meet and date wealthy men in the Windy City.

The financial and business services sector of Chicago is the mainstay of the city's economy. Chicago is one of the top ten Global Financial Centers Index in the world. The city is home to several major financial and futures exchanges, and it has its own distinct school of thought in economics called the Chicago School of Economics. The central business district in downtown Chicago is where most firms, convention centers, and consultants' offices of the city's finance sector are located. Exclusive pubs and cafes in the Loop and other important locations like Richmond Road, Lakefront, and along the Chicago River are places where the movers and shakers of Chicago's finance and business world can be found relaxing during lunch-hours or late in the evenings.

The manufacturing industry is another mainstay of Chicago's economy. The city offers a substantial pool of successful industrialists, well-paid CEOs, and engineers in sectors as wide-ranging as automobiles, transport, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. Apart from the usual pubs and coffee shops located in the vicinity of the major manufacturing districts, another likely venue to run into successful professionals is the various convention centers dotting the city.

Chicago is also the cultural center of the Midwest. All through the year, the city hosts performances in theater, music, dance, and films. Among the theaters hosting exclusive performances are the Ford Center for Performing Arts, Oriental Theater, Bank of America Theater, and the Palace Theater. The Symphony Center usually offers many high classical offerings from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra which can prove to be ideal places for meeting rich patrons of art and culture. Also, look for movie theaters in Chicago like the one at South Barrington and Muvico Rosemont, which are known for offering a luxury experience and thus attracting a wealthy crowd, especially for movie premieres and special shows with the stars.

Frequenting rich neighborhoods is another way to meet wealthy men. Chicago, especially its suburbs, has consistently figured among the richest neighborhoods in the country. In a list of America's 25 Wealthiest Towns compiled by BusinessWeek in 2009, the Chicago suburb of Kenilworth ranked fourth and turned out to be the richest town in Midwest. Most of the other places in Chicago with million-dollar plus households are on the North Side, including the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Barrington Hills, Glencoe, Edgebrook, Sauganash, and most properties facing the lakes.

The vibrant cultural scene of Chicago is reflected in its nightlife which buzzes with music, dance, and drinks till the wee hours of the morning. Most of the bars, lounges, and nightclubs in Chicago are again concentrated on the lakefront, especially in the northern side of the Loop as well as along South of the North Avenue. If you want to meet wealthy men in these places, it would not make sense to go there regularly as there will be too many people. Instead, it is better to frequent upscale coffee shops or gourmet food stores in rich neighborhoods. Who knows, you may get talking to a single, available millionaire.
