Congrats OP, you made a list for basically no man to ever be able to fulfill. You'll probably be alone a while.
If you really want to "own a corporation", wouldn't 99.9% of the people you knew be "below" your league? You expect to never date at or below your level, yet you expect a man to lower his standards to you?
I hate to break it to you, but there is a real power dynamic in relationships for men and women. If you look at any "power" couple, one of them usually holds higher power. You really can't have two ridiculously career oriented people in terms of the business world (OK, it could happen, but you have to admit it's rare). No matter male/female execs in my company (and mine is just a 10,000 person company, imagine more), the one's who are married have a spouse who is willing to move with them and completely give up everything they knew. When you move from Europe to the US, back and forth, across the US as well, it's just a struggle no matter what.
Someone will be "below" your level or you will be below theirs. I think you are better off eliminating the whole idea that there are these levels and seeking what it is you truly want in life. Your list sounds like your ideal business partner. Maybe that's what you need.
I think it's funny how people want to "own a corporation" which is nothing more then legal jargon to state how a business is structured.
These people (not necessarily the OP) throw around how they want to own a corporation because is sounds prestigious, but they never talk about what specific skills they have, or how they truly intend to help people.

I'm assuming she meant to make it sound pretty snazzy because she has insanely high standards.
Owning any sort of business (no matter what size) is insane amounts of work, regardless.

Actually I was being serious about it.
Why would I be comfortable settling for less? Or keep going for average Joes?
It would be funny if my ex bf were to see this thread but he never was into writing on forums. I think he would be kind of shocked. Long ago he said things like ''What I like about you is you've never demand nor want more.... oh you're so humble, I love you'' or ''Wow you're so different''.
Now I'm not the girl he met and won't go back to that former self again.
Nice list, but if I saw your advert, I wouldn't respond simply because your goals of wanting to become a owner of a corporation means that you wouldn't have any time left over for me. Owners of successful corporations work 10, 12+ hour days 6-7 days a week.
There is always time for everything and at some point I'm sure you can take a vacation. There's always going to some quality time spend.
How bout doing the corporate thing, work your way up, marry a nice guy with an equally sensible career and travel?
I like this idea ... get a starter boyfriend for now and then trade up a couple of times and you'll be golden!
Don't do it too often else you'd be labeled a man-hopper.
