Yes. Work is healthy for a persons self worth. Ultimately your wife would lose respect for you if you did not contribute some how to the welfare of the family. Even if this was being a stay at home Dad or being your wife's administrative assistant.

Not knowing your specific situation, I would say yes. It can be very depressing to stay home. These days a lot of women are having problems doing it, and in our society, I would think a man would have an even harder time doing it. If she really is that rich, do something you always wanted, volunteer or take up a new hobby. But do not stay at home. Most importantly, stay active so that if things do not work out, when you do return to the work force your resume does not have a huge gap (always an eyebrow raiser in interviews.)
Another reason to stay working, would be for you to have some funds of your own. I would find it hard to buy my fiance a gift with his own money.
If you do plan on staying at home, I would check with your OWN lawyer before committing to that. Find out what would entail if you two were to divorce. Did you sign a pre-nup? A judge would most likely not look kindly on a stay at home husband looking for alimony. Sounds sexist, but oh-so-true. Call it a little payback for years of oppression, boys.
I know it sounds cynical, but you didn't give us much information here. I hope your marriage is wonderful! : )

Yes, man should work after getting married with a rich woman. Getting married to a rich woman doesn't mean tht now tht man doesn't need to work. If the man has his self respect,he'll definitely work and will not depend on her wife's money. Also otherwise he may lose respect in the eyes of his wife. A person having self respect will work even after getting married to a rivh woman.

I don't know where you live, but here in California we have a half and half law. If a man and wife get divorced, the estate is divided equally. So, if one person is making bank while the other is picking his/her nose eating bon bons, both will leave the relationship with the same amount of money, AND the breadwinner may have to even pay alimony to the other to keep up the lifestyle they are accustomed to, depending on the circumstances.
So in answer to your question, if I were the guy and my wife was rolling in it, I would protect my future by not working.

Yes, you don't want her Lording over you how much of her money you are spending, or trying to tell you what you can and can't do because she knows that she has the power to. Don't forget, money=power. I lived with a guy who was really well off and he told me I didn't have to work anymore. I quit my job, but after a few months of dealing with him acting like he was My dad...My house, my cash, my rules kinda thing I had to quit him. I would imagine it would be worse for a guy to go through that. It put me in better touch with my sense of independence, but unless you have kids that someone has to stay home with, keep working, at least a little, so you both know that you bring something to the table too

I think a man should cause what would happen if she divorced you later on of course and say you hadnt worked in a few years it would be harder to get back in the swing of things and not only that if she was rich before the marriage you get only whats shes giving pride and dignity is sometimes all we have

Yeah, I mean have fun with your sugar momma yeah. But don't waste away doing nothing simply because you don't have to anymore. First of all you will get bored. Second you'll get spoiled. Third she may decide she is sick of your mooching even if she is fine with it right now. Both people need to contribute. Her company could fail, she could get sued, the family could go bankrupt, you never know. You might even divorce. Keep a job. But what you can do is this - find a job you absolutely love. Be actively searching for your dream job. As long as wifey is cool you have an opportunity to do what you have always wanted to do.

Why not? It'd just bring in even more money! I'd imagine staying home all day would be pretty boring after a while. Get out there and make a difference!
