“They are extremely rich and do either do not want a prenup or offer a desirable prenup package.”. In that case you either get a great marriage in the long term or you get a truckload of money in the somewhat shorter term.
This is not actually how it works if you get married without a prenup. You only get income made after the marriage; if they have lots of investments and don’t work, you probably get nothing. If they have a high salary, you may get a lot. If, that is, you’re in a community property state. If you’re not, you may not get a dime.
My phrasing was admittedly imprecise because my interest was “Will we have a stable marriage?” not “Will this marriage materially benefit me?” Obviously, “Someone credibly threatens to murder tens of thousands of people if you do not get married,” might also be a great reason, but I think from the context it’s obvious I wasn’t discounting such creative issues. Still, your “obvious” is, as a legal matter, not correct, and therefore hopefully not obvious.
