On the one hand: given the disproportionate access men have to money and power, I think it's at least shortsighted to think that a poor and obscure female lover wouldn't be (on levels other than money and power) completely within the realm of one of these dudes.

On the other hand: if these guys have all the power and money in the world and it's no problem to get the most beautiful woman in the world, perhaps some of them think it's more interesting to get Somebody Regular.

On the other hand: maybe they're total assholes who want to be with someone they can easily manipulate.

On the other hand: maybe the most beautiful woman in the world with the best body is really fucking boring or bad in bed

On the other hand: I guess my broad point is, I think "within one's realm" is a very complicated idea that does not preclude a rich man being genuinely happy with a cocktail waitress, because the terms "rich man," "genuinely happy" and "cocktail waitress" all contain entire universes of possibility.
