its still more or less rich old men using their wealth to get women.

The vast majority of women who are in relationships with wealthier older men are by no means being forced to be with them.

They choose to date those men because they want to. They have agency, they can make their own decisions. It's ironically quite misogynistic and infantilizing to claim that any woman who makes what you see as the wrong decision automatically must be a brainwashed slave of the man she's with, as if men can literally hypnotize women into dating them against their will by showing them a bank statement with enough zeroes in it.
