The True Face of Billionaires' Wives
We all have a more or less idea of what the wives of post-Soviet oligarchs look like, and we also know how old they are. It is much more interesting to look at the wives of Western billionaires, at least in photographs.
Did you think they looked like this?
We are forced to disappoint you.
This Melinda Gates, since 1994 the wife of the richest man on Earth (who forgot - Bill Gates has 76 billion). Not a glamorous woman at all, mind you.
And this Flora Perez — the wife of the founder of Inditex (5,000 stores, including Zara, in 77 countries) Amancio Ortega. Second wife, by the way. It's strange that he didn't marry a young top model.
Mrs. Astrid Menks — the young second wife of billionaire Warren Buffett. Well, yes, young: she is 60, and he is 76. Grandpa is frolicking.
And for dessert, the most stylish one - Caroline Denise Persson, the wife of the chairman of the board of directors of the Swedish retailer H&M Stefan Persson. But she is not a model either :).
Of course, there are exceptions like Donald Trump, but the general trend is obvious. I wonder what it is? Maybe it is that those who have real, earned money also have real relationships?
