Hi, thanks for your input!

Actually, that is the same meaning of the statement that I'm trying to construct, though I was thinking of using a different term than "gold digger". Here's an example: "A fortune grabber/digger/hunter is someone who tries to marry a person who has a lot of money."

I know that the term commonly used is "gold digger" but is "fortune grabber/digger/hunte

Well, as I said -- I was not familiar with either of the terms you suggested. I had to guess what you meant. The standard term is "gold digger."
