Learn English – Positive word for someone who wants to get into relationships with rich people

single-word-requestssynonyms

I think opportunist would be the word for someone who wants to get into relationships with rich people so that they can get rich, but that word is negative and can be used for other situations as well. Do we have a more accurate word for it?

A social climber may suggest the idea and doesn't necessarily have negative connotations:

  • a person who attempts to gain a higher social standing.

  • a person who tries to gain acceptance to a social stratum above the one he or she currently occupies.
