On the high seas with the high rollers

Just think how hard it must be to be loaded. All that tax and grief from poor people about greed. And then there are the trials of love. Just how do you find a partner if you're a multimillionaire?

Help is at hand, thank God. The Society of Single Professionals, a US dating service, is hosting a posh singles ball and cruise for the wealthiest 1 per cent.

"Everyone thinks [they] have it easy," a press release says. But they "live in constant fear their money will attract gold-diggers".

The events will help to protect these poor souls. Full steam ahead! Let's hope they don't get seasick.
