#56 - Trophy Wives
Trophy Wives
Price: About 4 Carats
Rich people love trophy wives. Trophy wives mark an important milestone in every overweight, middle-aged, balding, sports car driving, midlife crisis ridden wealthy male. After years of living off the proceeds of their trust fund, there comes a time in every fabulously rich man’s life that he needs to consider “trading up”. Just as you can’t drive your 1993 Ford Explorer for the rest of your life, wealthy males believe that a newer model will dramatically improve their life.
Trophy wives are easy to recognize. They are tall, slim, have perfectly manicured nails, beautifully coiffed hair and dress like they have stepped off the pages of Vogue magazine. They are between twenty-five and fifty years younger than their husbands and when you see them you will be inspired to ask the question “what the f@*k is she doing with him?” The answer is easy, he’s loaded and she vacations with the pool boy. Often spotted lunching at the Four Seasons, you may be tempted to paint all trophy wives with the same scalpel when it comes to plastic surgery but that isn’t fair. There are plenty of naturally beautiful women that won’t need work for another decade or so. By then most of their husbands will be dead.
How can you use this information to shore up your relationship with the wealthy? Two rules, don’t stare at her and keep your questions about her age and his ability to satisfy her needs to yourself. Asking these sorts of questions exposes his façade; they are akin to telling the emperor that he’s not wearing any clothes. The last thing you want to envision is a naked sugar daddy. The thought alones makes me want to scrub my hippocampus with steel wool to permanently remove that memory! Remember, don’t make any loud noises around the happy couple, that could trigger the heart attack she’s praying for!

Stuff Rich People Love 
OK .. I’m young, not a supermodel but attractive, and have an older, handsome and very successful, very rich boyfriend.. We are, shocking I know, actually very much in love. Its about attraction just like relationships are for everyone else. All the superficial stuff are added bonuses for us. The good stuff in lifr is really the love, romance, family, nature. We feel lucky. Its not like I ever decided I would end up with a rich man, or he a younger woman.
I think I might be one.
Shannon , you run the risk of aids when you do that, mrsa, c dif, and plenty of others. As when you have one wife, you don’t. She’ll understand when the fascade plays, trust me.
As a rich man I would think if having several trophy girlfriends on the side , I would ask myself constantly, how many other guys are doing this to them when I traveling motivating my company’s. You guys have to realize that being rich is also the equivalent of being well bread. See if I engage with 4 women I don’t know how many men they have other then myself when I’m out on the town. None the less, I also have to make sure that what ever woman I deal with has the genes to be able to survive the lifestyle – because remember that when I’m not around, my women represents my name. Hence, the name trophy, for being rich I deserve to have a women who can be with other men who repulse me, but since she has been there for me to build my empire, that is my goal – to enjoy my trophy wife . Thank you Deborah.
Chas. Its funny that your giving the public this speech, Joe ( In The Picture ) gave me the same one in 2008. Cheers !
I guess the year limit has increased huh? Before a trophy wife would be at least 10 YEARS younger than the man…now,(according to THIS article) it’s 25 years(?)….well…anyhow. I think sometimes when an older man gets involved/married to a younger woman, he is attempting to feel alive and rejuvenated and youthful again. SHE seeks security and comfort and wisdom that let’s face it, she is not likely to get from men her age and younger. So I think there usually is some sort of understanding with both parties on what exactly the deal is, and sometimes, it doesn’t even have to be very overt. Thus a prenup is usually involved so once the magic dust of the arrangement wears off, the divorce proceedings would ideally go as smoothly and quickly as possible.
Do you have ANY idea how small a 4 carat ring is? 7 carats (6 is OK if the stone’s flawless) and a cost of $300k plus is the starting point for trophy wives. At least in La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, etc. If you’re a first wife and old money, you have the jewelry but don’t wear it, and run around LJ in old Talbots chinos.
Of course they known there after their money what else have they got, look at the rich people at f1 they send people out to find girls and ask them to come onboard their yatchts for a party, is preety pathetic that some of them need to that
I could not agree more! We just moved to La Jolla and in fact there are restaurants and certain venues, which these “creatures,” let it all hang out. However with that being said, it’s actually refreshing to see women put on a good face, continue to stay in shape and actually care about themselves.
Trophy wives are the best. They know there are so many women out there waiting to take their spot if they put one foot wrong, so they stay slim, dress fantastic and are adventorous in bed.
I like the idea of a wife (trophy or otherwise) maintaining herself NOT just for the sake of her husband’s delight but for her own pride too. Ironically though some “trophy” wives DO get replaced too (you can look up Kelsey Grammar on that…and others). Hence, FEW of these marriages begin with or are genuinely based on intimate, sincere love as oppose to image, mere companionship, and for show or status purposes. I think in these cases, they initially go in because they LOVE WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR EACH OTHER for the time being. Perhaps some of these couples evolve into the true, intimate and sincere love but most end when child number two is barely out of diapers….and then the HEFTY child support payments PER CHILD starts rolling in every month after the divorce is finalized.
Why get the wife when he can have innumerable trophy girlfriends? I don’t understand it. It’s not true love, she likes the money and the status. Why marry the bitch?
You got it. You are correct. Why have the one money hungry bitch when you can change up every now and then or keep a mess of them on the stringer. I think this guy in the photo thinks she wants him for his body and personality.
Because you can’t assume that just because someone has money means that they lack certain values. It is possible that in their culture or their family or in their social circles, there are rules of engagement by which a man is respected if he is married and not just bedding anybody. Yes, there are many girls who are attractive and would date men for their money, some of their are known as gold diggers or even ladies of the night. Nevertheless, the trophy is to actually “win” the love of a young attractive woman who could be physically attracted to a younger and more fit man, but would not have access to this lifestyle and would not be charmed in the way that an older man who is established and can fly you in his private jet to Paris for lunch, then dinner in Milan, then back to New York to catch a broadway play the next day could. It is not just carnal. There are subtle rules that you guys are ignoring.
I would go with a trophy whore.
LOL you GOT it. Trophy wives are the number one identifier of rich older men. What I always wonder is if he knows she’s only with him for the money. But then again, maybe he doesn’t care. As long as he has his trophy wife.
