- I always thought gold-digging (definitely NOT a new term by any means)
- is when someone marries a person they don't love but who can offer them
- a more comfortable lifestyle then the one they know before marriage.
-
- In The Thornbirds, Luke O'Neill marries Meghann Cleary, has all of her
- share of the Cleary fortune transferred into his name, and basically
- forgets about her. He was golddigging.
-
- I think the term typically equates with "marrying for money."
