- Move close to where they live: Really, and I thought billionaires married their pen pals
- Get thee to a gallery: Manet's Olympia was thought to be nothing more than a common whore, now her net worth is through the roof
- Show them the Monet: Fashion an outfit out of water lillies, it gives you that Brooke Shields in "Blue Lagoon" hotness
- Look for good benefits: Because every idealistic humanitarian looks like Jennifer Connelly, not Melinda Gates
- Cultivate dowagers: Read the New York Social Diary calendar, live the inanity
- Become a charity yourself: Fucking for HIV awareness
- Hire a professional: Meet my friends Candi and Squirtz
- Be a class act: No one likes a project, except Richard Gere
- Be into what he's into: Capital structure arbitrage, squash, felching

Anyone who doesn't think women marry for money (i.e. security) is a fucking loser. Love is for fools.

How about Fred Thompson and his trophy wife?

Lets vote for the nimrod, so she can be the first lady!

I think that the Kucinich beats Thompson for attractiveness delta with his spouse.

The article reminds me of the former owner of La Prairie, aka 'Big Red" as she was known in some Houston/Washington circles.

Re: Gold-digging trophy wives.....

From the movie, "Back to School" starring Rodney Daingerfield:

Party guest: "Your wife just showed us her Klimt..."

Rodney: (Munching a meatball sandwich, disgustedly)
"You too???"
