Summer is the time for hot steamy romances and what better way to spend the rest of the year than with the man of your dreams? Someone who knows how to appreciate the finer things in life perhaps?

But since Eduardo Saverin tied the knot in June this year (sorry, ladies), there is one less eligible billionaire on the market and your chances of netting someone on the rich list have been lowered slightly.

So, before all the good young men are snapped up, we’ve compiled a list, using information from Forbes and Wealth-X, of the five most eligible billionaires that are still on the market.

Just don’t tell the guys we sent you their way.
