The wealthy fear connecting with gold diggers. The 1% Singles Cruise & Ball helps them meet romantic eligibles on their own financial level.

San Rafael, CA -- (SBWire) -- 05/17/2012 --Wealthy singles of all ages are invited to meet their peers on the first-ever 1% Singles Cruise, November 4-17, 2012; and the first-ever 1% Singles Ball, Friday, May 25, 2012, at the Renaissance Stanford Court Hotel in San Francisco.

“In the past, as the world’s largest non-profit singles organization, we have prided ourselves on the low cost of our cruises and parties,” says Rich Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals. Over the past 33 years we have totally neglected wealthy singles. That policy ends with the 1% Singles Cruise and 1% Singles Ball.

“Everyone thinks the wealthy have it easy finding love,” says Mr. Gosse. “Nothing could be further from the truth. The 1% live in constant fear that their money will attract gold diggers, seeking to enrich themselves. The 1% Singles Cruise and 1% Singles Ball will be opportunities for the wealthy to comfortably meet people on their own level, so they can feel more confident that the attraction is romantic rather than financial.

“The 1% Singles Cruise will intentionally be the most expensive cruise we have ever sponsored,” says Mr. Gosse. “The 1% Singles Ball, at San Francisco’s most luxurious hotel, will be our most costly dance party of the year. But we will not be ignoring the 99%. They will have plenty of affordable cruises and parties to enjoy throughout the year.”

Rich Gosse, Executive Producer of The 1% Singles Cruise and The 1% Singles Ball, is America’s foremost authority on the singles lifestyle. He is the author of eight books on the subject, including You CAN Hurry Love, Singles Guide to America, and A Good Man Is EASY to Find (“This is a great book!” Oprah Winfrey). His expert advice has been featured by ABC’s Nightline, NBC’s Today Show, Oprah, Fox, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek, Cosmopolitan, Entrepreneur, Business Week, Playboy, Playgirl, The London Times, The Australian, The New Zealand Herald, etc. Mr. Gosse is available to the news media for interviews by calling 415-479-3800 or emailing rich@richgosse.com.
