Curious as to why they have to be rich if the primary goal is no-strings-attached sex? If the assumed hope is that one could mooch off this rich, young, beautiful women a little before engaging in the no-strings-attached sex and taking one's leave, I'd say that would bring supply down to about zero.

Attractive females in the 18-25 bracket are pursued by men in the 18-death age bracket, far more than 18-25 year old men are pursued by women in the 18-death age bracket.

This leads to scarcity, and men use "rich", "high-status", "famous", etc. to differentiate themselves.

Male competition for breeding rights is the bedrock of human civilization (and probably for animals too)

Indeed, but I was referring to the part of the comment that describes the women as needing to be rich (and young and beautiful).
