8 Best Billionaire Matchmakers: Costs & Reviews (2026)

Most people picture a billionaire matchmaker as something out of a film. The reality is more practical: it is a private, high-touch service built for people whose wealth, visibility, or schedule makes ordinary dating impractical.

In practice, these services share four traits: they screen clients before accepting them, they assign a dedicated matchmaker, they vet every candidate before an introduction, and they treat discretion as the core promise.

What separates one from the next is cost, contract length, search reach, and how much control you keep over who you meet.

Cost is where these services diverge the most. At the entry point, VIDA Select starts at $1,695 per month with no long-term contract. At the high end, Serious Matchmaking packages reach beyond $1,000,000, with signing fees that begin at $65,000 and a matching finder's fee due if you enter a relationship with someone they introduced.

Between those poles sit Enamour (from $20,000 for a six-month search), Kelleher International ($30,000 for a local search up to $300,000+ for international), and Exclusive Introductions (frequently above $100,000 annually). The price reflects how much of the search is done for you, how wide the scouting reach is, and how much personal attention the founder provides.

The table below compares all 8 services on price, review volume, weighted review score, and specialty. Scores are current as of the methodology date noted beneath the table.

Report Methodology: The Weighted Review Score combines ratings from Trustpilot, Yelp, and Google, weighted by the number of reviews on each platform. To ensure reliability, services with fewer than 10 total reviews receive a confidence adjustment: 10+ reviews (full weight), 5-9 reviews (90% weight), 2-4 reviews (80% weight), and single reviews (70% weight). For instance, if a service only has a single 5-star review, their weighted score would be 3.5 stars. This prevents services from ranking artificially high based on limited feedback and provides a more accurate comparison based on client experiences. Last Updated: 5/29/2026

The shift toward expert-led matchmaking at the top of the market is measurable. Third-party panel research commissioned by luxury firm Selective Search surveyed 359 affluent and high net worth American men in March 2026.

• Interest in human-led matchmaking among affluent and high net worth men climbed 58% year over year as of May 2026.

• 50% of ultra high net worth men cite guaranteed confidentiality as a top-three factor when choosing a matchmaker.

• 34% say dating apps feel too transactional or superficial, and 36% name privacy of their dating activity as one of their biggest challenges.

The takeaway: the most accomplished people are starting to approach finding a partner the same way they approach every other high-stakes decision, with a defined process, expert judgment, and proven results.

Although every service has its own style, the path from inquiry to introduction follows a recognizable sequence. Here is what to expect:

1. Pass the client screening. Most services vet you before they accept you, often through an application and a preliminary call.

2. Complete an in-depth consultation. You meet your matchmaker (sometimes the founder) to discuss your life, your values, and exactly what you want in a partner.

3. Let the team search and scout. Your matchmaker draws on a database plus active scouting to identify candidates, then interviews and vets each one.

4. Review and approve matches. You see a profile and photos and decide who you want to meet. The strongest services never send you on a blind date.

5. Meet, then share feedback. After each introduction, your matchmaker checks in with both sides and refines the search based on what you learned.

The single biggest difference between services is step four. Some arrange dates for you with limited input; others, like VIDA Select, give you approval over every match before any introduction is made.

Here is a closer look at each service, including cost, contract terms, and what to expect.

Enamour

Working exclusively with affluent, discerning, and accomplished clients, the Enamour team has been in the industry since 2009. The service helps singles in major cities around the world, specializing in international searches for exceptional candidates.

Cost and contract: Packages begin around $20,000 for a six-month search and can be tailored to each client's requirements.

Enamour is as selective about clients as it is about matches, so the process starts with a complimentary screening interview for both. Accepted clients are paired with a dedicated matchmaker who learns their lifestyle and partner criteria, then combines relationship psychology, judgment, and AI to select highly compatible candidates from an invite-only database.

The team also runs an extensive scouting network. Every candidate is vetted through an in-depth screening interview, and you approve each match before any date. Enamour also offers styling, image consulting, dating and life coaching, and professional photography.

VIDA Select (by Scott Valdez)

Founded in 2009 by Scott Valdez, VIDA Select is a global service that helps highly accomplished professionals find a genuine, lasting partnership.

Cost and contract: VIDA offers monthly packages, with Elite matchmaking starting at $1,695 per month and no long-term contract. Clients can also choose the 90-Day Match Guarantee: a minimum of 5 matches you personally approve for $6,000, with the search continuing at no additional cost if results fall short.

With an 82% success rate, VIDA clients typically meet someone within 3 months. Like most high net worth matchmakers, VIDA screens prospective clients and extends a consultation invitation to those who pass.

After joining, you are paired with a dedicated matchmaker for the length of your membership. She learns your partner criteria and asks insightful questions to shape your matches. Using a blend of experienced matchmaking and modern technology, VIDA's team first checks the internal database, then taps into the largest pool of high-quality singles available and pinpoints compatible candidates.

You keep full control: you accept or pass on each match after reviewing their profile and photos, so there are no blind dates. VIDA also offers styling, dating coaching, and professional photography to help you make a strong first impression.

Why clients choose VIDA over a six-figure contract: you get the hands-off, fully managed experience of a luxury matchmaker without a multi-year commitment or a six-figure upfront fee. The team does the heavy lifting; you approve who you meet and show up.

Cinqe (by Erica Arrechea & Melissa Lapchuk) 

Originally founded as Love Love International by matchmakers Erica Arrechea and Melissa Lapchuk, Cinqe rebranded in 2016. This billionaire matchmaking service is headquartered in San Francisco and helps clients in select cities around the world. 

Cost and contract: Packages range from $35,000 to over $200,000, based on each client's requirements, with contracts typically starting at six months.

Prospective clients submit an online inquiry followed by a preliminary call; it is common to speak with up to three matchmakers before a decision. If the team believes it can help, a video meeting introduces you to a few potential matches and team members. If both sides agree to proceed, you receive a formal invitation to sign a contract, and you hold weekly progress discussions with your matchmaker.

Kelleher International (by Jill Kelleher)

Jill Kelleher entered the industry as a photographer for a singles organization before opening Kelleher International in San Francisco in 1986. Today the firm serves clients in select cities worldwide.

Cost and contract: A local search starts at $30,000, a national search at $45,000, and the international package ranges from $150,000 to over $300,000. Contracts typically span one to three years and include up to 12 months of hold time. Clients generally meet 8 to 13 matches per contract.

All prospective clients go through an initial screening, followed by a primary consultation to outline match criteria and expectations. If you proceed, you are paired with candidates from Kelleher's database of roughly 50,000 singles, supplemented by proactive scouting. When a match is identified, both parties receive details; if there is mutual interest, you arrange the date and debrief with your matchmaker afterward.

Hamilton Rigg (by Olivia Rigg)

After four years at a London-based matchmaking service, Olivia Rigg founded Hamilton Rigg in London's West End in 2021. The firm works exclusively with men as paying clients.

Cost and contract: Packages generally start in the five-figure range, with the final price depending on the scope of your search and preferences. Membership typically begins with a period of at least six months.

Becoming a client begins with a screening process. A boutique matchmaker, Rigg limits her active roster to 12 to 20 men. The first step is usually a video call with a team member, followed by a conversation with Rigg before any agreement.

Once on board, your matchmaker, and often Rigg herself, learns about your lifestyle and goals. When a match is located, you review a profile; after the introduction, the team steps back and leaves the date to you.

Exclusive Introductions (by Gina Hendrix)

A former celebrity stylist, Gina Hendrix founded Exclusive Introductions in Los Angeles in 2008. She works exclusively with men as paying clients, typically high-profile bachelors and affluent singles worldwide.

Cost and contract: Fees are not published, but Hendrix reports the price frequently exceeds $100,000 annually. Contracts typically span one to two years and are customized to each client. Women can join the database at no cost if they pass screening.

A boutique matchmaker, Hendrix works with just 8 to 10 clients at a time. Her screening is extensive, often requiring multiple interactions, including a home visit, before she extends a contract. Depending on your package, you are paired with women from her database or scouted on your behalf. When presenting a match, she shares photos with both parties while keeping names and contact details confidential. Dates are arranged for you, and you typically meet at least 8 women over the contract.

Serious Matchmaking (by Janis Spindel)

One of New York City's most established luxury matchmakers, Janis Spindel opened Serious Matchmaking in 1993; her daughter Carly joined as VP in 2009. The firm has expanded internationally and typically takes only men as paying clients.

Cost and contract: Pricing depends on whether you work with Janis, Carly, or both, ranging from $25,000 to over $1,000,000. Contracts span 12 months with a minimum of 12 matches. An initial signing fee begins at $65,000, and an equal finder's fee is due if you establish a relationship with someone they sourced.

The team screens both clients and database applicants. As a prospective client you start by meeting one or both Spindels, often over a meal, in what amounts to a simulated date, followed by a home visit to confirm you are ready for a relationship. If they see a fit, they customize a package, you sign an agreement, and the search begins from their database and scouting.

Exclusive Matchmaking (by Susan Trombetti)

A former fraud investigator, Susan Trombetti launched Exclusive Matchmaking in 2011. Based in Maryland, she works with affluent men in select US cities and internationally.

Cost and contract: Packages typically range from $25,000 to over $250,000. Trombetti also offers a separate “Investigate Your Date” package.

You begin with an initial consultation to share your goals and the qualities you want in a partner, and to review the available packages. If working together is mutual, you sign on as a matchmaking client, a coaching client, or both. Working directly with Trombetti requires the VIP service level, as she takes a limited number of clients. As a client, you meet women sourced from the database or scouted on your behalf.

The best service depends on your budget, your timeline, and how much you value flexibility. Use these questions to narrow the field:

1. How much do you want to commit upfront? If a six-figure, multi-year contract feels like too much before you've seen results, a month-to-month service such as VIDA Select lets you start without a long-term lock-in.

2. How important is global reach? For international searches, VIDA Select, Enamour, and Kelleher International offer the widest scouting networks.

3. Do you want to approve every match? If keeping control matters to you, prioritize services that let you review and approve matches rather than arranging dates on your behalf.

4. How much does a free consultation matter? VIDA Select, Enamour, Kelleher, Cinqe, and Hamilton Rigg offer one; Serious Matchmaking and Exclusive Matchmaking generally do not.

5. What is the service's track record? Weigh review volume and weighted score together; a high rating built on a single review is not the same as one earned across hundreds.
