These Are The World's Wealthiest Wives

Not everyone who's eating with a silver spoon right now was born that way.
For some one-percenters, it's marriage that's brought them all the riches and lavish lifestyle
options they could ever want.
In the case of these billionaire wives, there's more to their stories than just being on the
arm of a rich man.
Here's what you might not know about some of the world's wealthiest wives.
Susan Dell
In 1988, Susan Lieberman was working in real estate in Austin, Texas when she met Michael
Dell, a guy who got his start selling computers out of his dorm room at the University of
Texas.
After a lunch date, she told her parents that Michael was, quote, "the nicest guy I'd ever
met," and they married in 1989 when Michael was 24 and Susan was 25.
Nearly 30 years later, they're still together and at the helm of the Michael and Susan Dell
Foundation.
Thanks to the success of Dell computers, Michael is now worth about $20 billion.
And you could argue that his company's success may have come from the powerhouse woman who
stands beside him.
Susan Dell is known for her 65-mile bike rides, her enthusiastic attitude, her philanthropy,
and her love of fashion.
Miranda Kerr
Before Miranda Kerr met Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel in 2015, the Victoria's Secret model
was still reeling from a painful divorce from actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she has a son,
Flynn.
She told Elle Canada, "When Orlando and I separated, I actually fell into a really bad
depression.
I never understood the depth of that feeling or the reality of that because I was naturally
a very happy person."
Kerr's split from Bloom certainly had its low points, one of which involved allegations
of a hook-up with Justin Bieber and a fist-fight between Bieber and Bloom.
That may be one reason her relationship with Spiegel followed a much more traditional route.
According to reports, the couple decided to abstain from having sex until they got married.
Spiegel became the youngest CEO of a public company when Snap started trading in March
2017 and one of the world's youngest billionaires, worth an estimated $4 billion.
Salma Hayek-Pinault
Salma Hayek was an established and well-regarded actress before she began dating French businessman
François-Henri Pinault in 2006.
That's likely one reason she's managed to maintain her financial independence after
her bank account grew by billions of dollars.
Hayek told Redbook, "I work hard, I make my own living and I love it.
I like having financial independence.
I don't ever want to have to depend on anyone completely."
Of course, being married to one of the richest men in the world, who's worth a cool $23 billion,
definitely has its upsides.
However, Hayek has admitted that her relationship is far from perfect.
In fact, as she told Jimmy Fallon in 2017, she once thought her husband was having an
affair when she saw something strange pop up on his phone:
"And there is this message: 'Hi, this is Elena.'"
But as it turned out, it was actually just an English-learning app … called ELSA.
Relationships and phones.
Who hasn't been there before?
Astrid Buffett
Warren Buffett met his future wife, Astrid Menks, at a French nightclub in Omaha, Nebraska,
where she was working as a waitress while his first wife, Susan, was singing.
Thus began one of the most bizarre love triangles in history, which would allegedly continue
up until Susan's death in 2004.
According to The Guardian, Susan and Astrid shared the famous billionaire for decades,
and the trio "even sent out Christmas cards signed 'Warren, Susie and Astrid.'"
Warren married Menks two years after Susan's death.
Though Warren's net worth is about $75 billion, he reportedly kept true to his low-key lifestyle
and put together an extravagance-free wedding, where their reception took place at Bonefish
Grill.
Ah, the perks of being married to a mogul.
Joan Branson
You may have heard of men going to great lengths to get the girl, but the story of how Virgin
Group founder Richard Branson wooed his wife Joan may take the cake.
According to a blog post written by Branson, the billionaire took Joan on a tour of Necker
Island in 1978 — the island he would eventually purchase.
He wrote, "I fell in love twice that weekend — once as our helicopter swooped over the
turquoise water and white sandy beaches of Necker Island, and again when I saw the smile
on the face of the beautiful girl who sat beside me on the journey.
Together we strolled around the Island and dreamed up plans for turning it into a haven
for musicians."
The island reportedly cost $6 million to purchase.
Though Richard is worth about $5 billion now, he couldn't afford the island's asking price
at the time, so he somehow managed to negotiate the price down to $180,000 the following year
on the condition that he turn it into a resort.
He and Joan would tie the knot on the island 11 years later, and they've been enjoying
the lush scenery with high-profile guests ever since.
