Female Celebs You Didn't Realize Have Super Rich Significant Others
Most celebrities certainly don't need to feel pressured to marry someone with money — they already have it on their own, thanks to their successful careers in the entertainment industry. Still, when a celebrity begins dating someone who is considered to be among the richest people in the world, it's always interesting to learn how the two came together. In most cases, they are both worth so much money that they end up becoming a power couple, with net worths that reach past millions of dollars and into the billions.
The wonderful thing about all of these couples is that their relationships don't seem to be just about the money. According to what they say about each other and what others say about them as couples, they all seem to genuinely love and respect one another — the money is just something that's there. Check out some of the celebrities who have dated or married super rich men.
Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel
Supermodel Miranda Kerr and Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel began dating back in 2015 after meeting at a dinner in Los Angeles for Louis Vuitton. Kerr is worth millions thanks to her modeling career, but Spiegel's net worth is higher: according to Forbes, he is worth $1.4 billion. Spiegel made his money after creating Snapchat and becoming one of the youngest public company CEOs at age 26. In 2018, he was named one of the Forbes 400 Wealthiest Americans.
About a year after meeting, in July 2016, Kerr announced their engagement with an Instagram photo of her ring and the caption, "I said yes!!!" The two got married in May 2017 during an "intimate ceremony" at their home in Brentwood, California. According to E! News, the wedding had less than 50 guests, and both bride and groom had tears in their eyes throughout. Fast forward one more year later to May 2018, and Kerr gave birth to the couple's first child, a son named Hart.
Geri Halliwell and Christian Horner
Everyone's favorite rebellious Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell, married Christian Horner a few years ago. Horner is the team principle of the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team, although he started out as a race car driver himself before deciding he wanted to manage instead of drive. Horner began as the youngest team principal, quickly proved himself to be successful and, according to ESPN, "built Red Bull's political standing within the sport." Horner's net worth is estimated to be $20 million.
It appears Halliwell and Horner hit it off immediately when they met. In an interview with Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield on This Morning (via Hello!), Halliwell admitted that after her mother's divorce, she felt like she wasn't going to find true love, adding, "And when I met Christian, I automatically knew, I did, I actually said to my friend, 'I think I've met the men I want to marry.'" The two tied the knot in the spring of 2015 after being engaged for a little over a year.
Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch
After a whirlwind four-month romance, Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch announced their engagement in the Times newspaper in London. Their relationship was surrounded by gossip, mainly because Murdoch is one of the richest billionaires in the world. According to Forbes, his net worth is $19.5 billion dollars. Murdoch is the head of a media empire that includes cable channel Fox News, The Times of London, and The Wall Street Journal. He started his newspaper career at the young age of 22, when he inherited it from his father, and once sold most of Fox's movie studio, FX, and National Geographic Networks to Disney for $71.3 billion.
Murdoch's marriage to Hall is his fourth and her first — though she was with Mick Jagger for 23 years, their "marriage" was ruled as not legally binding after they split. According to The Guardian, the two met in Australia after being introduced by Murdoch's sister's niece while Hall was promoting The Graduate. Despite the rumors about them, sources close to the two tell The Guardian, "They are very sweet together, in a little couple bubble."
Nicky Hilton and James Rothschild
Nicky Hilton may be a millionaire heiress herself, but she managed to marry someone worth even more than her. James Rothschild is part of a banking family that has amassed a net worth of over $400 billion, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Rothschild has also built up an impressive resume of his own. According to a profile on Bloomberg, he is the founder and managing partner of JR Cap LLC, and the managing partner and co-founder of West Arrow, an investment and advisory company based in New York — among many other titles.
According to Us Weekly, Hilton and Rothschild started dating in 2011 after meeting at a mutual friend's wedding in Italy. In 2014, the two headed back to Italy, where they got engaged on a boat in the middle of Lake Como. In 2015, the two tied the knot at a lavish ceremony in Kensington Palace (yes, the Kensington Palace). The couple welcomed their second child in 2017.
Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault
Salma Hayek and French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault have been happily married since 2009. Pinault also happens to be one of the richest men in the world, with Forbes estimating that his family's net worth is $27.8 billion. Pinault's father founded French luxury brands group Kering in 1963, which owns major fashion brands, including Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, and Stella McCartney, and Pinault now runs the company. According to Time Money, Pinault once raised his net worth by $1.7 billion in just one day.
Hayek and Pinault got married in Paris on Valentine's Day in 2009 after a long engagement that included a brief separation. They had a child together, a daughter named Valentina, before they got married. Hayek addressed how much money Pinault makes in an interview with Redbook, when she said that one thing she loves about Pinault is that he doesn't treat her like a trophy wife. She said, "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. But when I have troubles sometimes, it's nice to have someone there to help."
Eve and Maximillion Cooper
Rapper Eve has been married to Maximillion Cooper since 2014. Cooper is a British designer, a skateboarder, a race car driver, and an entrepreneur who is the CEO and co-founder of British international motor rally Gumball 3000. Celebrity Net Worth has Cooper's net worth estimated at $50 million.
Cooper told E! News that he met Eve at the 2010 Gumball 3000 rally. The two got engaged in 2013, and according to E! News, Cooper proposed on Christmas Day. Before the announcement was made, Eve posted a photo that showed off her sparkling ring on her Instagram page. The couple got married in Ibiza a year later, when Cooper told E! News, "I'm so happy to make Eve my wife. The whole experience has been amazing and we are both so happy to have tied the knot." Eve has also raved about Cooper in public interviews, once talking about him on The Meredith Vieira Show, saying, "He's the one that tamed me." She added, "It's a really good relationship, I'm happy."
Tiffany Trump and Michael Boulos
Tiffany Trump certainly doesn't need to date anyone with a ton of money, but it seems she's doing just that. In December 2018, sources told Page Six that she was dating Michael Boulos, a wealthy businessman from Nigeria. Boulos' family owns Boulos Enterprises, a multibillion-dollar conglomerate that "trades in vehicles, equipment, retail, and construction." Although the media doesn't know a lot about Boulos, it's clear his net worth is very high.
Sources told Page Six that Trump met Boulos on vacation in Mykonos, Greece over the summer of 2018, and that Trump brought him to Mar-a-Lago for Thanksgiving. The source added, "Tiffany is happy she has so far been able to keep things with Michael under the radar. But she introduced him to her family at Thanksgiving, and he comes across as a very intelligent young man from a great family." Many outlets were surprised at Trump's choice considering her father, President Donald Trump, once called Nigeria (along with El Salvador and Haiti) a "s**thole country."
Grimes and Elon Musk
Fans of musician Grimes were shocked when they learned she was dating billionaire Elon Musk. Musk is a technology entrepreneur, investor, and engineer working to "revolutionize transportation on Earth and in space." According to Forbes, his net worth is estimated at $23 billion. He is the founder of Tesla Motors and the rocket company SpaceX, which is valued at more than $20 billion and recently sent a Tesla car into space.
Sources told Page Six that Grimes and Musk met during the spring of 2018 after the two bonded over a joke Grimes made on Twitter about the "complications of artificial intelligence." The two made an appearance as a couple when they went to the 2018 Met Gala together. In August 2018, the two unfollowed each other on Twitter, leading many to believe they had broken up. In October, however, The Daily Mail was the first outlet to post photos of them together at a pumpkin patch with Musk's twins, leading fans to believe they are back together.
Holly Valance and Nick Candy
Australian singer and actress Holly Valance is married to Nick Candy, a wealthy property developer. Candy works with his brother building luxury apartments in London and the United States. According to BBC News, the brothers have never disclosed how much they're worth, but "they are thought to be worth more than a billion pounds," which translates to roughly $1.3 billion in dollars.
The Herald Sun reported that Valance and Candy began dating in 2009. At the time, the outlet reported that Candy's family was worth $590 million. Valance and Candy made their first public appearance at a party for the 1000 most influential Londoners, when Candy admitted they were dating, saying, "We are very old friends and have known each other for years." The couple got married in 2012 in Los Angeles, with a party that included more than 300 guests and a performance by Sir Elton John, according to Australian News.
