Genius would be a dating app that costs $500/month :)

For that, you might as well hire one of the many matchmakers who cater to the wealthy.

comes close. Supposed to be very good service and were featured on the Startup Podcast. It feels similar to TrunkClub but instead of outsourcing shopping for clothes one can outsource swiping right or looking at online profiles.

What makes you think people who could afford that have trouble finding a date?
Because they might still be socially awkward,, super busy, just having a difficult time finding a partner? There are entire dating agencies and tv shows dedicated to these people: http://www.wetv.com/shows/million-dollar-matchmaker
When both parties pay the fee that filters out people that date someone only for the money.
Which, if you ask me, sounds like a valid reason to pay the fee if you're wealthy. Most wealthy people tend to have their guard up when it comes to money (often for good reason).
500$/month might be a reasonable investment for some people if the potential payoff is a spouse worth 10s or 100s of millions.
