What Would You Pay for Love? Inside the Matchmaking Firm That Replaces Tinder for High-Profile Singles
On May 10, 2020 (Mother's Day), Amber Lee's heart stopped while she was driving with her husband and daughter in the car. No pulse. Her car went across four lanes of traffic and into a brick home. When she woke up in the hospital with every rib broken, she didn't ask for time to heal. She asked for her computer. Three weeks later, she and her longtime colleague Sandra Myers launched Select Date Society, a luxury matchmaking firm for high-net-worth clients.
