Sugar Daddy

Not strictly one word - but a common term for a older, richer counterpart of a gold digger. Usually used for more willing participants - older men who are just glad to be dating someone more attractive and younger.


"Mark" might also fit - but is usually used to refer to the targets of con artists, rather than women dating mainly for material reasons, so I'd use in in situations where the gold digger is more predatory

It may be a bit obscure but "Ticket" - as in ticket to the gravy train

Solution 3:

In Eastern Europe — where I live — the term typically used is sponsor.
