Maybe he's banging hot chicks(he can surely have as hot as you can get) on the side, while wifed up someone he really likes? I actually know a few guys like that, who married down in terms of looks but haven't stopped swooping.
This.
The guy's had access to boat loads of cash and successful people for the better part of a decade. Obviously he's aware of what's possible for a high status guy. He's seen what goes on in those circles.
You could say this is a natural decision for him. People tend to associate with others of similar background. A theme of the film is that he's not from a rich family, he's kind of an outsider to establishment circles. So the conservative choice for him is to marry someone who shares his background and has been loyal to him. He's going to feel comfortable with that person. Also kind of a huge "fuck you" to people that wouldn't have him as a member back in the day.
From an evolutionary standpoint, a hot looking wife would be more likely to give him nice looking sons and daughters. But look at the way he dresses, does he really look like a person who cares for aesthetics?
He's probably interested in having a stable wife that suits his lifestyle and lets him do what he wants to do. He doesn't want someone who is going to try and change him, make him fight battles in his own home.
If he so desires, he can have a steady stream of hot looking women on the side. Mistresses, escorts, groupies. A guy with options would make that a condition of his marriage. The cheating license would be understood. He only needs to keep it discreet.
She will stay with him. The journey with MZ and the kind of access he has is more interesting than anything else she's likely to get.
