I'm confused as to whether you are asking if this is a cool "dream" or if this is how you really want your life, and see yourself living. BIG difference. I dream of living with dogs and petite lap giraffes, eating cotton candy and sleeping all day but I know that won't happen.

If it's your "dream", then cool. Everyone is allotted dreams (fantasies, if you want to go that far since this seems to be a turn on for you).

Since you are looking for an honest opinion, I really don't think one should pursue a wealthy/powerful person because it turns them on, especially if it is a working relationship. I am assuming this level of sexual interest because you specified working for a woman and not a man (or just simply a wealthy person in general), because simply seeking out employment based on an ideal you have about your perfect boss is odd, and a bit handicapping in some cases. Powerful/wealthy women and men tend to have different lifestyle choices than us middle class folks. They tend to work very long hours, and value work above the home life (I am aware this is not "all the time", so please don't come slay me here. It's just a norm, you need to work for the money). Working directly under a person of power might come with a lot more work, and not really be all that sexy or attractive.

With that being said, I think this is all well and good for fantasy. People fantasize about being tied up and beaten, however I think few people actually desire a constantly abusive relationship. Perhaps a poor comparison, but a simple to understand one.

Men and women who tend to want to be "dominated" by another, more powerful member of their opposite sex tend to be lacking in the self confidence department, or have something missing. Not saying you do, but saying this is where I demarcate from a "lifestyle" and a "dream". I share some fantasy with you about being "under control" of someone more powerful, however I wouldn't want that as my lifestyle.

Perhaps I'm cutting this apart too much, but you it seems like a normal "dream", however I wouldn't advise it as a lifestyle for lifetime happiness, purely based on your requirements. If you fall in love with a "middle" class woman, fine. If you find a powerful woman to work under and enjoy it/don't cheat on the wife, fine.

Why do you need feedback on your own dreams? They are YOUR dreams.

While, I enjoy working for her and admire her, our relationship stays strictly platonic.
Are you actually a lawyer, or have any of the qualifications needed to be a foundation director? I believe most people wealthy enough to have their own charitable foundations don't have an "in-house lawyer" but an entire law FIRM - that's who you'd work for, you wouldn't be in the woman's presence all day. It sounds pretty "Walter Mitty" to me without some serious credentials to back up how you're going to get such a position.

What are you doing to work toward these goals? Are you actively dating and looking for your nice, middle-class wife? I'd focus on that, IMO it'll be much easier to accomplish than becoming a rich woman's protoge'.

I'm not down with finding a wealthy woman to look to for leadership or whatever, nor am I looking for a woman to take care of me financially.

Maybe I read it wrong, but that's what I took from it.

Man up dude.

Since you asked.... I find the dream represents some very unattractive qualities. The whole thing makes you sound superficial, needy, weak, subservient, class conscious, complacent... probably some of the most distasteful qualities to me...

I think you could also try a little S&M, just kidding

But what I got out of this is you said you like control:

"However I do like control, and I'm in no mood for power struggles. I am the person who is the leader of the relationship."

So I think this is where that liking you have for powerful, wealthy women comes into play. Like I said earlier its like Sadomasochism, you being the masochist and the wealthy women being the sadist, it's a release of power........
