When the subject is "marriage" and whether it is romantically or economucally relevant, pointing out that the author is a hereditarily wealthy confirmed bachelor isn't ad-hominem but pure logos rhetoric.

His background gives some insight into why he thinks the way he does. If the article was "Why I will marry the wrong person" his background would be completely relevant. But he didn't so whether what he wrote applies to the world or its just crap is what is relevant.
