first, that was a Hollywood movie, and isn't used as a basis or reference for reality.
second, even using the plot of pretty woman, how do u know that Robert's character didnt only fall for Gere's character because he was successful and rich? remember she was a streetwalker, not even a working class professional. Many many men, no need to be as successful as Gere, would have been a pretty good catch for her.
Whether in movies or real life, if the man met a woman while he was still starting out and not so rich yet, and they go through thick and thin, get married, blah blah, I'd agree that the woman might not have let the guy's success and wealth colour her perception of him when dating him if he turns out to be as rich as Donald Trump 30 years later.
But if they met when the guy is already successful, of cos the woman is tempted by that.
Of cos no woman will be so candid and honest and say I'm attracted to his money/status/success. They'll just fall in 'love with them'.
Maybe i'm one of the more cynical people around but i believe that to be true for 99% of women.
I think you totally misread me.

how likely do u seriously think this is?? so u think she wanted to play around and be fucked by the guys who own cars because she has a new-age carefree and feminist attitude to men and treat them as nothing but sex objects, and she would end up MARRYING a macdonald's manager?! Is it cos mcdonald's is too sexy and good looking..and have a huge dick to satisfy her day and night?
more like she wanted to aim for a husband with good earning power and good future but somehow they didn't want her and in the end panicked just grab whatever rubbish that doesn't hiam her.
With any story I hear on the internet, l take it with a pinch of salt. I don't fully believe or fully doubt either way. Maybe I was just giving an extreme example, but really we don't really know the full picture do we? That was my point all along.
To me, either extremes are equally plausible without actually knowing the people in question.
