Richard Easton - 2010

The Matchmaker

Richard Easton left Wall Street for Main Street in 2007 to become the top matchmaker in the country according to ABC News, Huffington Post, NY Post, iHeart Talk Radio, The Observer and numerous other Media.

From 2002 to 2005, Richard Easton was the client of three matchmakers. "I learned a lot from three years of client side matchmaking experience," says Easton, "mostly what not to do as a matchmaker. I essentially created a wish list of what I would want as a client, then I implemented all of it. Presto!"

Who

Business and finance came easily to Richard Easton even though he studied neither in college. The lure of easy money led him to Wall Street where he founded a small commercial bank and a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm. He sold to a group from Merrill Lynch.

​Richard would say his success came not from how well he knew finance but how well he understood people. He has uncanny intuition for choosing the finest people and inspiring the best of them. He gave 10% of the sale to his employees, without whom he could not have succeeded. 

What

The new millennium: Richard Easton recognized how frustrated people had become with dating. "New York City is a place with millions of singles, yet no one can find Mr or Miss Right," Richard Easton told his hand selected team, "We will change all that," and they did.

Richard Easton quickly became the top matchmaking brand primarily by listening to what their membership wanted in their matches. "I come from the position that the customer is always right," says Easton, "not the witchy mother-in-law variety who think they know more about whom you are meant to be with than you."

Why

"Richard Easton will find you a mate for only $100,000."   -The Observer

"The media labeled me the $100,000 matchmaker but that is simply not true in all cases. I think everyone deserves romantic love but not everyone can afford $100,000. Life to me is about more than the 1%. My life is about creating happiness: I can think of no greater reward than creating happy relationships," says Richard Easton - The Matchmaker. 

Most of Easton's clients are men with a few exceptions. The majority of women are free members. "Offering free membership to women allows me to be selective, very selective." RE
