Gold digger
A slang expression used to refer to a woman who is involved in a relationship with a man based solely on the perceived financial benefits of the man. Women of this nature tend to spend their partners' money on lavish items such as name-brand clothing, fancy jewelry, and eating only the most expensive foods. This woman is loyal only to the deepest pockets, so once her current partner goes broke, she'll go for another man who is rich or just financially stable.
