HE’S OUT of her league.

The sexy personal assistant charged with ripping off millionair­e hedge fund manager Todd Meister to bankroll her jet-set lifestyle and jewelry business doesn’t even breathe the same rarified air as the women he dates, Meister said.

“The women I date are far more highly educated,” Meister told the Daily News Friday. And more connected. And richer. Dark-haired Ukrainian head-turner Renata Shamrakova, 26, was busted Thursday by the Manhattan District Attorney on charges of bilking the financier of nearly $1 million during the year that she was his personal assistant.

Her lawyer claims she did more than fetch coffee, saying the two were lovers.

“Renata wasn’t his type,” said a source close to Meister.

He’s used to dating the boldest and blondest names in the New York Social Registry. Famously, Meister eloped with hotel heiress Nicky Hilton — Paris’ sister — to Las Vegas in 2004. Three months later, the union was annulled.

In 2006 and 2007, Meister was seen escorting Yale cum laude grad Elizabeth Lindemann during end-of-summer Hamptons white parties, American Ballet galas and art auctions. Lindemann, a divorcée, is the great-granddaugh­ter of the founder of the prestigiou­s arthouse, the Graham Gallery in Manhattan.

Another former flame, socialite Jamie Tisch, wasn’t an Ivy League grad. She went to the University of Alabama. But she gets points for being the ex-wife of New York Giants chairman and film producer Steve Tisch, the only man to have won an Oscar (“Forrest Gump”) as well as a Super Bowl.

She he dumped him, according to New York k Magazine, when she found emails from psychiatri­st and socialite Dr. Samantha Boardman, his next flame.

The daughter of a hedge-fund founder, the Harvard vard cum laude graduate got her medical degree from Cornell University.

Boardman and Meister broke it off a while a go and she married Manhattan developer Aby Rosen. But Shamrakova’s lawyer suggested Meister ter might have been dating against type this time.

Marc arc Agnifilo said he has lovey-dovey text messages ages between Shamrakova and Meister.

“They They show two people who speak intimately with each other. [Meister] uses phrases like, ‘I Miss You,’ ” the lawyer said.
