The slang term sugar daddy refers to a wealthy, usually older man who provides financial support, gifts, or luxury experiences to a younger person in exchange for companionship, affection, or a romantic relationship. The phrase dates back to the early 20th century, with one popular origin story linked to Adolph Spreckels, heir to a sugar fortune, who married a woman 24 years younger than himself in 1908. She reportedly called him her "sugar daddy," blending "sugar" as a symbol of wealth and indulgence with "daddy" as a term for an older male partner. The term entered wider use in the 1920s and has since become a common expression in discussions of mutually beneficial relationships that mix romance and financial support.
