She married him for the money - maybe

Lets talk about some famous examples of women who married men for their money.

Ofcourse we can never say for sure so lets just say "suspected of marrying him for his money"

Easy ones.

Anna Nichole Smith marrying that rich guy.

Heather Mills marrying Paul McCartney.

Strongly suspected

Catherine Zeta Jones marrying Michael Doughlis

Debbie McGee marying Paul Daniels.

Do you guys have any examples or suspicions?

Nope.

Can you clarify on each case? Except for Anna Nichole Smith...

your one who married the prince fella

Michael Douglas is a ride.

Marty Morrissey got married there a while back. No one could love that face, not even his parents. His bank balance on the other hand though....

creeper1 · 04-12-2011 11:58PM

Wouldn't have thought Heather Mills would have required much explaining. She got paid a fortune out of her marriage. Remember her complaining that her poor children wouldn't be flying first class?

Catherine Zeta Jones is over 20 years younger than her husband. That in itself isn't proof but it does cause suspicion.

Lastly Paul Daniels is, well, hard to describe as handsome or charismatic.

My Thai wife married me for love.

Catherine Zeta Jones was already a successful actress so I doubt she married him for money..

mackg · 05-12-2011 12:00AM

Yeah, money was the only thing Paul McCartney had going for him :rolleyes:

Thread is useless except that thanks to this post, it has made me decide to listen to some Prince.

Sweet.

A lot of women tend to be attracted to confident men. A lot of confident men are quite successful & through their success, they obtain wealth.

I don't think that a man's bank balance is the "turn on" factor most of the time, though there are notable exceptions, like Anna-Nicole Smith.

Michael Winner keeps going on about John Cleese's ex wife being a money grabber. He might have a point.

Bernie Eccelstone and his wife - Jesus he's an awful looking thing, thank god he's loaded or he's be a lonely lonely man

Chuck Stone · 05-12-2011 12:08AM

I don't see what the problem is personally. The man gets a woman who's hotter than he would have gotten if he was broke and the woman gets access to more money than she could have gotten from her own endeavor.

Business is business.

Awh, where's your sense of romance? Marriage should only be done for love

You're leaving out the most important bit... That said money grabbers get divorced a short few years later. So is that a real equal trade off?

Some girl marries someone for money. 3 years later she's split with half your money. Yeah, I think that warrents for someone to have a problem Chuck.

creeper1 · 05-12-2011 12:16AM

If it is purely for money, a guy may as well go down to the red light district and would save money in the long run.

In fairness I don't see why people pay out these ridiculous divorce settlements when it would cost a fraction of that to have them killed.

Not loads. But I could imagine a homeless girl getting taken off the streets and being scrubbed up by a infatuated gentlemen.

Don't think I could envisage the other way round though.;)

Procasinator · 05-12-2011 12:19AM

I'd say the number of cases of hot young women marrying old rich men solely for their money is probably roughly equal to the number of cases of old rich men marrying hot young women solely for their looks.

She married him for the money - maybe
