Gold digger
Significado: A person who pursues romantic relationships primarily for their partner's money or financial benefits.
A gold digger dates or marries someone specifically for their wealth. The term is heavily gendered — it's most often applied to women, though it can describe anyone. It's always negative, implying greed and deception. Kanye West's 2005 hit 'Gold Digger' brought the term to a new generation.
