From a 2001 Article... and still as true today
Telegraph: Luke Johnson's view: Trophy wives cost millions
Trophy wives are important acquisitions for men who have everything. These tycoons have already got the yacht and Gulfstream jet. They frequently marry young and have worked obsessively to amass great fortunes. They have achieved wealth, fame and power, but they no longer find their first wives sexy or sophisticated enough for their new found status. Perhaps they never had time to sow their wild oats when they were young, since they were too busy empire building. They reach late middle age and they want to relive their youth - roll on the Harley Davidson and leather jacket, turn up the disco music - let's party!

Women will drive many house purchasing decisions and thus are as accurate a barometer of economic sentiment as any pundit.

I predicting a trophy wife price crash in 2009 - the price of trophy wivies has risen sharply in the last few years and the market just cannot sustain such large increases in prices.

A friend of mine who heads his own hedge fund was divorced by his Russian wife a few years ago, and she took him for a packet although they had no kids and had only been married a few years. His mother, a very pragmatic German lady said to him, now divide the divorce settlement by the number of nights and tell me it was a good deal!
