You'll almost never find an extremely successful man who has always been single

I'm talking multimillionaire/billionaire, very high profile career, leaders of industry...such elite levels

Almost all of them are married with a family

Or they were married and divorced

And they usually remarry even if they get divorced

You'll rarely find one at that level who's been forever single

It's probably because family gives you motivation to become successful and stay successful

I mean if you're mid 40's and beyond and still single with no family there's not much motivation to work hard to be successful and continue working hard to maintain that level of success

You can just coast and you don't have those external motivations

Topic is correct but your reason is wrong

The two reasons why are because successful men are more likely to actually try to do something, which includes getting a woman. They didn't become successful by complaining about how unfair work is because Chad gets all the money and then give up

The second is because women are attracted to money, power, ambition, etc. It's harder to stay single if women are chasing you

Dave Ramsey won't shut up about "The marriage advantage" and how couples earn more, invest more, are worth more, live longer, ect.

I agree with the health and lifestyle stuff, we are meant to have a partner and love does keep people alive longer. But I'm skeptical of the financials. What marriage does is force financial planning for retirement/kids and encourage a house purchase. Those two things alone make up 90% of everyone's net worth. So these statistics about married couples having much higher net worth is just a combination of dual income and buying a house. If you are single and started investing in your early 20's and bought a house on your own then you are still light years ahead of a couple who starts this process at 35. They might catch up because dual income, but it will take longer and not be as dramatic. Median HOUSEHOLD income is $83,000 while personal is $61,000. That extra 20k on average isn't enough to catch up to someone a decade ahead of you and disciplined. Two heads are better than one if pointed in the same direction, but that's an exception, not a rule in terms of financials in marriage in the US. See divorce rate and number #1 cause being money.

Any man who has the traits women want, can be played by woman. That is correct.

Large successful companies tend to favor married men, studies show they earn higher salaries and seen as more mature, grounded and driven.

Stay single and poor or be a Chad, make some kiddos and earn more.

A corporate guy likely got married early, you're right. Most of the time being because a guy in his 20s likely doesn't have the grintset mentality unless he's struggling and married.

But there are a ton of single entrepreneurs who don't get married until later in life. I would say the enterpreneurial types likely aren't getting marriied until they're closer to 40, because most women aren't interested in dating a struggling entrepreneur, and most entrepreneurs don't want to play the game.
