Paris Hilton -- I Relate to A-Rod ... It's Nice Dating Insanely Rich People (VIDEO)

In case you were wondering, dating a SUPER RICH PERSON is just as awesome as it sounds ... so says Paris Hilton who tells us she can totally relate to Alex Rodriguez.

As we previously reported, A-Rod is dating billionaire Anne Wojcicki -- the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

Hilton -- who's dating businessman Thomas Gross (reportedly worth around $200 mil) -- explained, "It's nice to not have to worry about somebody who's more interested in your bank account."

Paris also pointed out that A-Rod (who's made more than $300 mil playing baseball) doesn't have to worry about Anne having a diabolical ulterior motive ... "She's definitely not using him."

Moral of the story ... date a rich person. It's awesome.
