gold-digger
Wealth-seeking partner
A gold-digger is someone who pursues romantic relationships primarily for financial gain, typically a woman seeking a wealthy man: She's just a gold-digger after his money.
The term is disparaging, implying mercenary motives disguised as genuine affection.
Originally, a gold-digger was simply someone who dug for gold—a miner in the literal sense.
