Biography of Patti Stanger
Patti Stanger, an American professional matchmaker and television producer, is the founder and CEO of 'Millionaire's Club International Inc.' She is best known for her show 'The Millionaire Matchmaker,' which has been airing since January 2008 on Bravo TV.
Early Life and Career
Born on May 31, 1961, in a Jewish family, Patti Stanger grew up in Short Hills, New Jersey. She obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Miami in 1983. After working for ten years in the fashion industry for renowned companies such as 'Unionbay Sportswear,' 'JouJou Jeans,' and 'Saks Fifth Avenue,' Stanger decided to pursue a career in matchmaking.
Before starting her own business, Stanger worked as the marketing director for 'Great Expectations,' the largest and oldest dating service in the United States. With her experience and expertise, she founded 'Millionaire's Club International Inc.' in January 2000. Stanger recognized the need for an exclusive private club where successful men could meet intelligent and beautiful women in a discreet and relaxed environment. Her service targeted busy individuals who often lacked time for traditional relationships and wanted to avoid gold diggers.
The Millionaire's Club
Stanger's club operates on an individualized basis, carefully matching each client with potential partners based on their specific requirements and preferences. The club collaborates with renowned psychologists, relationship consultants, personal trainers, stylists, and other professionals to ensure a comprehensive approach to matchmaking. With a database of approximately 30,000 women, the club offers its services at a premium price, ranging from $40,000 to $150,000 per year.
Stanger's success in the matchmaking industry led other dating services to emulate her methods, but none have come close to the level of her club. In 2008, she signed a contract with Bravo TV Network to create her own reality show called 'The Millionaire Matchmaker.' Each hour-long episode follows the matchmaking process of two club members, including a brief biographical sketch, client preferences, and meetings with 30-40 potential candidates. Stanger is famous for her blunt remarks and specific requirements regarding the appearance of female candidates, avoiding women over 45 and those with excess weight. At the end of each episode, a debriefing session takes place, where Stanger and the client discuss the progress of the dates.
Personal Life and Achievements
In her personal life, Stanger had a long-term relationship with Andy Friedman, a real estate executive whom she met through a dating service. They were engaged on her birthday, July 22, 2009. However, they did not set a wedding date. On August 14, 2010, Stanger announced via her Twitter account that her relationship with Friedman had ended.
In 2009, Stanger released her first book, 'Become Your Own Matchmaker: 8 Easy Steps for Attracting Your Perfect Mate,' providing professional advice on finding love.
Patti Stanger's dedication to matchmaking has made her a prominent figure in the industry. Her innovative approach, personalized services, and successful TV show have solidified her reputation as a leading matchmaker in the United States.
