Plot Synopsis

From the creators of 90 DAYS FIANCE, MARRYING MILLIONS is a one-hour reality series that follows the relationships where one partner is incredibly wealthy, and the other is definitively not, leading the couple to face intense scrutiny and questioning whether it's true love... or true love of the money and the lavish lifestyles that follow? The first season focuses on six couples who are deeply in love and hoping to marry, but come from completely different worlds. Regular people are whisked off their feet and plunged into a high-end life of riches, extravagant experiences, and glamorous trips around the globe. While it may sound like a modern-day fairytale, it's definitely not all champagne and caviar. On the road to the altar, the couples must try to bridge their vast differences and fit into each other's alien worlds. The Season 1 couples include:

Bill and Brianna (Dallas, TX): Bill, who describes himself as 60 years young, founded and currently runs a commercial real estate company with investments in the billions. Twice divorced, Bill met Brianna, 21, at a popular restaurant in Dallas where Brianna was a hostess and the two began dating. Despite their almost 40-year age gap, these two couldn't be more in love with one another. Bill wants to introduce Brianna to the finer things in life but wonders if she is ready for Dallas high society and if Dallas high society is ready for her.

Gentille and Brian (Las Vegas, NV): Gentille is a real estate investor who buys and sells extravagant homes, and in doing so, lives an extraordinarily lavish lifestyle. Brian, meanwhile, comes from a blue-collar family in Minnesota and works in construction, living paycheck-to-paycheck. The two met when Gentille hired Brian to work on one of her developments, but Brian quickly won her over with his charm and sense of humor and they began dating. Gentille's friends, a big part of her life since she has no family, have their doubts about Brian's true intentions.

Katie and Kolton (Dallas, TX): Katie, 37, was previously married to baseball star Josh Hamilton. But following a messy and public divorce, Katie ended up millions richer, with shared custody of their daughters. Katie met aspiring hip-hop artist, Kolton, when a group of her 18-year-old daughter's friends showed up at Katie's house, which included 23-year-old Kolton. After hitting it off, the two began dating and though they have only been together for a few months, there has already been backlash from her friends and family and she has yet to meet his parents.

Drew and Rosie (Cleveland, OH): Divorced, multi-millionaire Drew, who owns a successful construction and landscaping company, met Rosie, a recent college graduate who still lives with her parents. Drew enjoys spoiling Rosie with fancy dinners, extravagant purchases, and basically whatever she needs, much to the dismay of Rosie's family who aren't supportive of their relationship.

Shawn and Kate (Palm Springs, CA): Millionaire Shawn is a 29-year old entrepreneur and rapper from Palm Springs, who made his money in the tech sector. Kate, 33, met Shawn at a business conference she attended and where Shawn was the keynote speaker. After the speech, Kate approached Shawn about a mentorship, sparking a romance where the two have been dating ever since.

While Kate hopes to get married to Shawn soon, his career ambitions have him struggling with the idea of getting engaged.
